Who We Are
Statkraft Markets (Origination):
Statkraft has been making clean energy possible for over a century. Today, we are Europe’s largest renewable energy producer and a global company in energy market operations.
The business area Markets is responsible for commercially optimising and developing Statkraft’s flexible generation portfolio as well as providing market access, supporting investment decisions and securing long-term value through global hedging strategies.
As part of the Markets business area, the Origination division creates value for our customers and the societies we operate in. We also continually innovate, putting renewable energy to work in new ways, even as the market structure and regulatory environment evolves. Origination is a market-facing division bringing renewable energies to the market and to consumers by offering tailored energy solutions to help maximise value for customers.
Iberian Origination:
Within the Southern European Origination division, the Iberian Origination business concludes non-standard, structured and often complex wholesale transactions in Spain and Portugal. We have been a first mover on long-term PPAs in Spain, and across our countries of responsibility we have by now contracted more than 100 long- and short-term wind and solar PPAs. The business is planning to significantly grow its business in regional and product scope over the next years.
The responsibilities within Southern European Origination are split between Origination Iberia (Madrid), Origination France (Paris), Origination Italy (Milan), and Portfolio Management (Düsseldorf). The Origination teams focus on originating, structuring, and negotiating value-adding transactions and have P&L responsibility, while Portfolio Management is the custodian of the portfolios – responsible for valuing and wholistically managing all portfolio exposures in the market, as well as providing the model, data, tools and process landscape fundamental to our activities.
The Southern European Origination business model is unique in that complete commercial responsibility for managing risk resides within the business. Local origination and portfolio management closely collaborate on a joint “one team – one PnL” philosophy per region – that is, we all have “skin in the game”.

- Proactively contribute to Iberian and Group-level strategic discussions, including product development, pricing approaches and go‑to‑market strategy.
