Exclusiv: prima tranzactie cu gaze naturale la Bursa Romana de MarfuriExclusive: First Gas Deal on the Romanian Commodities Exchange

S-a vandut primul pachet de gaze de import pe Bursa Romana de Marfuri Bucuresti.

Vanzator Plus Energy Point SRL, companie intrata pe piata romaneasca in septembrie 2013 . Chiar daca acesta este un trader nou, este un jucator mediu pe piata de gaze din Romania, care  foloseste activ oportunitatile oferite de piata inclusiv cele de a tranzactiona prin intermediul bursei. O abordare noua, moderna si transparenta a determinat dezghetul BRM, dar a adus pe piata si un pret mai mic deocamdata pentru gazele de import.

In ultimele zile au fost 3 sesiuni de tranzactionare. S-au oferit spre vanzare 10 000 MWh care puteau fi tranzactionati in pachete de min 1000 MWh. Pretul a variat intre 36,95 USD/MWh si 37,15 USD/MWh. S-a vandut un pachet de 1000 de MWh la pretul de 37 USD/MWh. Este prima data când putem sa discutam de un pret de referinta a gazelor importate in Romania.

Pretul gazelor de import ar putea suferi corectii in cazul in care ar fi mai multi jucatori pe BRM. Apreciem ca modelul de tranzactionare avantajeaza in special cumparatorii si consideram ca acestia trebuie sa incerce acest instrument de tranzactionare pentru ei, dar si pentru restul pietii de gaze din Romania, care s-ar reflecta in scaderea pretului la gazele naturale importate.

In context, amintim ca la Comisia pentru Industrii si Servicii a Camerei Deputatilor exista un proiect de lege care prevede ca orice tranzactie cu gaze naturale sa fie facuta exclusiv pe cele doua platforme licentiate de catre ANRE (OPCOM si BRM). Vom reveni cu amanunte pe marginea acestui subiect.The first batch of imported gas has been sold on the Romanian Commodities Exchange (BRM).

The seller was Vanzator Plus Energy Point SRL, a company that entered the Romanian market in September 2013. Even if it’s a new trader, we’re talking about a medium size player on the Romanian gas market, one that actively uses market opportunities, including that of trading on the Exchange. A new, modern and transparent approach has led to BRM’s unfreezing, and it also brought a lower market price – only of imported gas, so far.

Three trading sessions were held these last days. 10,000 MWh were offered for sale, in batches of minimum 1000 MWh. The price oscillated between 36.95 USD/MWh and 37.15 USD/MWh. One 1000 MWh batch was sold at 37 USD/MWh. It is the first time we can talk about a benchmark price of imported gas in Romania.

The price of import gas might see corrections if more players would act on BRM. We think that the trading method is especially convenient for buyers, and in our opinion they should try this trading instrument, for themselves and for the whole Romanian gas market, which would lead to lower prices of imported gas.

Within this context, we might mention that the Industry and Services Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has a draft law stipulating that all natural gas transactions must proceed through the two platforms licensed by the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE), namely the Romanian Gas and Electricity Market Operator (OPCOM) and BRM. We will soon add new details on this theme.
