Bullet points:

1. The challenge of modeling price dynamics in the energy markets.
- seasonality
- fat tails
- jumps
- mean (or floor) reversion

2. Price volatility in the energy markets: definition and estimation
3. Adapting value-at-risk for the energy markets:
- combination of physical and financial contracts
- correct representation of price dynamics and inter-market price
relationships

of different approaches.
