Department Insights

RWE Supply & Trading acts as the interface between RWE and energy markets around the world. Approximately 2,000 employees from over 70 different countries trade electricity and commodities in offices across Europe, North America and Asia.

RWEST’s expansion within the Asia-Pacific region has been rapid. Our Singapore trading floor is now home to around 80 colleagues and continues to grow.

This includes sending out deal confirmations, managing margin and collateral payments, controlling balancing group accounts, sending out invoices and settling deals. We work closely with all major departments including the Trading Desks, Risk, Finance, Accounting and Legal.
