Gas and power

The continued growth of LNG has turned natural gas from a regional to a globally traded commodity. It is now a flexible source of energy for countries looking to maintain security of supply. Trafigura was a first mover in creating a globally tradeable market for LNG and today we are a major supplier, working with every major producing country.

By bringing together our gas and power activities, Trafigura has an unparalleled view across the energy generation spectrum. This joined-up approach means we can quickly adapt to changing market dynamics.  Combined with our shipping capabilities and carbon business, we can offer a full range of services from gas storage to corporate power purchase agreements and long-term offtake deals with major LNG producers.

Our power business works with producers and consumers in the US and Europe. We buy electricity from generators and sell it to large consumers on terms matched to their needs. This could mean supplying power and renewable energy certificates to meet emission reduction targets.

Our integrated approach enables us to supply thermal power generators with fuel and sell the electricity they produce. In addition, we have access to all main energy markets and our activities are supported by round-the-clock operations, that provide balancing and dispatching services to power plants and assets.
