This panel will feature professionals with experience opening up retail energy companies in different countries outside of the USA. Japan, Europe, and South America are just a few of the possibilities for expansion. What does it take to do this? How much capital? What kind of team is needed? How do we navigate the compliance as well as the language barriers? How different are these foreign operations from our operations in the USA? What is the best way to market overseas? How much can be outsourced?  How long will it take to open an international business?

In February of 2021, the ERCOT market in Texas experienced catastrophic electricity price spikes that few retail energy providers were prepared to deal with. As a result, many went out of business and the ones that survived were blamed for sky-high rates. This panel will focus on how retailers can survive the next disaster, with an emphasis on risk management around worst-case scenarios. This is a critical panel for C-suite executives, risk managers, traders, wholesale suppliers, finance companies, and anyone who deals with risk in the retail energy industry.

Since the pandemic began, digital engagement has become even more important to find, engage, acquire and retain customers. No longer is the day of just door-to-door sales. Energy consumers, especially the younger ones, really do want a relationship with their energy supplier.  They go online to research before they buy and prefer digital communications.  For this reason, retailers need to focus on how they can build their businesses online to find new customers and own the customer relationship.  In this panel our experts will focus on best practices to build their online presence, get creative with products and promotions and what digital tools they use to engage them.
