Mike, analytical trainee EET:

“I am investigating whether we can use options or option-hedging in order to mitigate volume risks. As a portfolio analyst, I focus mainly on churn risks. In previous assignments I designed forecasting models as a trading analyst, and worked as a pricing analyst as a full team member on the Pricing and Sourcing team. In the context of “Allocation 2.0” I investigated how we can better group customers and limit individual customer risks.”

Vivian, commercial trainee EET:

“On-the-job experience in ‘high-impact’ projects. As a full member of the team and with real risks. I worked on the Risk Management team. Everything Eneco Energy Trade does is reported. I created a dashboard in Power BI, which provides us with better insights in our renewable assets. This makes monitoring and analysing a piece of cake.” ”

Paul, managing director business development and business sponsor of the EET Traineeship:
