With a team that has decades of experience in power management, system operation, international capital markets and risk management, EFT is uniquely positioned to provide a complete service, tailor-made to the requirements of its customers, large and small.

Diverse Portfolio
With more than 100 clients, EFT's portfolio comprises a core of substantial contracts under which owners of surpluses sell their excess energy, and utilities with deficits cover their shortfalls. These are complemented by a large number of smaller intra-day balancing trades. With this mix, the team provides a major source of liquidity within the market, balancing the needs of one group of customers against another.

Ability to absorb or defray risk
Market intelligence provided through EFT's local representatives, combined with expert risk management and financing from its UK and Swiss offices, gives the team a vital edge in helping power utilities operate efficiently by absorbing risks the power companies cannot mitigate themselves.

A proven track record of reliably delivering energy where risk is inherent has resulted in vigorous growth, with turnover increasing threefold over the last three years.

Long trade cycle
In the diversified countries within which EFT operates, our partners have different needs, often represented by extended trading cycles. Through access to a large pool of capital, its diverse network of suppliers and its financing expertise, EFT can meet the payment terms required by its partners. Our first capital markets transaction, raising 7-year subordinated financing, is excellent testament to the Group's enhanced standing and reputation.

Twenty four-hour trading day
EFT offers a comprehensive intra-day, day, week and month ahead service, and is second to none at response to emergencies. Combining the excess power sourced from long-term supply contracts, and the daily requirements from clients, EFT has an unrivalled portfolio in terms of depth with which it can meet its customers' needs.

An international network
With international offices in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark and a regional network in nine south-east European countries, the Group structure allows EFT to benefit from a global perspective combined with the advantages of local knowledge and expertise. At present, EFT covers 17 countries in western, central and south-east Europe. To view EFT Territory, please
