THE
INDEPENDENT
ENERGY TRADING
COMPANY
CHALLENGE.
COMPETE.
REPEAT.
Danske Commodities challenges market inefficiencies
with international trade, moving energy from where
there’s more than needed to where it’s needed most.
As an independent energy trading house, we compete
with established players to bring freedom of choice and
fair energy prices to producers, suppliers and consumers.
We trade across borders all over Europe, ensuring that
energy markets stay competitive, efficient and balanced.
Every minute of the day. Every day of the year.
We challenge. We compete. And then we repeat.
CHALLENGE
THE STATUS QUO
TO MAKE ENERGY
MARKETS WORK
BETTER
Danske Commodities was founded in 2004
with the vision of bringing disconnected
national energy markets together through
international trade.
As one of the largest short-term energy
traders in Europe, we have always been
committed to challenging the status quo
and finding more effective ways to trade
and optimise energy resources.
With an unmatched market presence and a
24/7 trading setup, we maximise the value of
energy across Europe – specialising in intraday
and cross-border power and gas trading.
