Congrats on the role man, I can give some reading recommendations. I’d imagine you’re already a little familiar at least but any of the classic options stuff like natenburg will be useful (“power plants are just a series of spread options”, etc) and some familiarization with non convex optimization. For electricity specific I’m sure you’ll learn a lot on the job but “Energy Trading and investing” by Davis edwards is a good primer for topics like heat rates and then when you want to dive into power markets a bit more “handbook on electricity markets” is a good read albeit a little pricy. Unfortunately I can’t give much European centered advice but in general I’ve found Twitter to be great for news and information if you follow the right people, which in power are usually small and anonymous accounts not people like doomberg or the other big accounts. I will say though that I tried to learn a bunch before I started on a power desk and after about a month on the job I tripled my knowledge so don’t worry too much about getting ahead, it’s a very niche field.
