ABOUT
The Melbourne Energy Institute's fourth seminar in the MEInetwork24 Seminar Series was presented by Rob Koh, Equity Research Analyst at Morgan Stanley.
Several financial instruments are already used for a variety of purposes in our National Electricity Market. These include the management of risk for both generators and customers, but also for environmental reasons.
In this seminar, Rob examined the interplay between capital, financial and energy markets, and explained fundamental concepts and established financial instruments. Rob also discussed emerging financial instruments and what innovations may be required as we decarbonise.

About the MEInetwork24 Seminar Series - a deep dive into the electricity supply chain
The aim of the MEInetwork Seminar Series is to give participants a sound understanding of the current technical and economic factors that underpin the Australian energy system. Knowledge of these market factors is critical in determining the changes required to move towards a clean energy system.
Each year, the focus is turned to one of our primary energy vectors, cycling through the major topics of electricity, natural gas, and energy commodities.
