Power surge: The US electricity derivatives boom, with ElectronX

In this episode of J.P. Morgan’s Making Sense, Bryan Long, Power Trading and Origination at J.P. Morgan, is joined by Sam Tegel, CEO of ElectronX, to explore why US power has become an increasingly attractive  and tradable product for a growing wave of global market participants. Against a backdrop of surging data center demand, renewable penetration, and grid complexity, they discuss how short-term electricity derivatives are unlocking new risk management tools and drawing in liquidity from proprietary trading firms, crypto miners, and institutional investors worldwide. The conversation also covers the convergence of power and compute costs, and what deeper market liquidity means for private capital deployment in US energy infrastructure.   This episode was recorded on May 19, 2026.   The views expressed in this podcast may not necessarily reflect the views of JPMorgan Chase & Co, and its affiliates, together J.P.
