Summary:Usually, long-term prices on the power exchanges are on average higher compared to the short-term ones. It is possible to exploit this pattern when developing power market related trading strategies. Furthermore, if there is a way to establish situations in which premiums of forward and futures prices over spots are higher than usual, some revenue increasing possibilities for the market players are available.

Specific recommendations are also provided to the parties who trade on the electricity exchanges.
