energy market
Electricity trading arena
An energy market is a system where electricity, natural gas, oil, or other energy commodities are bought and sold.
These markets range from wholesale exchanges where utilities and large producers trade in bulk to retail markets where consumers choose their power suppliers.
Energy markets may be regulated by governments or operate competitively, with prices fluctuating based on supply, demand, and factors like weather or geopolitical events.
Deregulation opened the energy market to new competitors.
