Concerns about the stable procurement of energy have a serious impact on the economy, causing energy and electricity prices to rise. Infrastructure, such as energy and electricity, is the foundation of the economy and requires appropriate risk management for future uncertainties. In this research, we are analyzing price fluctuations in the energy and electricity markets and studying risk management methods that utilize derivatives trading as a means of appropriately controlling these risks.
