Energy Trading engages in asset-based trading and marketing of energy commodities. It is at the center of the LG&E Energy energy supply structure that serves retail and wholesale electric customers primarily from generation assets that are owned and/or operated by the subsidiaries of LG&E Energy.

Energy Trading serves as the "commercial hub" of the integrated energy business, focusing on optimizing value while assessing and managing the risks associated with the production of electricity and the sale and purchase of interrelated products. This business process ensures that decisions in all business areas are coordinated and made rapidly based on current and future market prices and operating conditions of assets.

The Energy Trading team consists of industry experts in trading and marketing, risk management, and generation asset operations. This team coordinates the delivery of low cost electrical energy to long-term end use customers and the wholesale energy market from generation assets. This team adds further value by orchestrating the short-term sales of excess energy. This process is strictly monitored and controlled to ensure that the levels of exposure are limited and managed within pre-specified guidelines.
