Power Trader Interview Ireland

Hello, I have an interview next week for a power trader for Irish/U.K. based Energy company. I am coming from options trading background in soft commodities. Now, I don't have much knowledge on trading power specifically, so I would just love it if someone could help me out - could you recommend a good site that breaks down power trading in U.K./Ireland, and what I would need to really learn before the interview? Any help is much appreciated.

cheers

I assume so, but I was not really competent enough to ask appropriate q's during the interview. The interview itself was o.k., as they were looking for someone even with comparable experience in financial trading, which I have. With that said, if anyone applied that actually does have experience in this market, I don't stand a chance.. will see at the end of the week. Wish me luck, I think I applied to about 1k jobs in past year with negative feedback of 98% rate. At least here I get some bananas.

 

Thanks, too late now :) I got rejection letter 3 weeks later. I only had 5 days to prepare and the field is too vast to cover it after work hours. I did o.k., but hey... Not really sure what they want in a candidate. Which country did you get job in? Ireland is so small at the moment, but there are changes coming next year, would've loved to be a part of it.
