PROFILE

Anne Ku is an independent features writer and editor, specialising in the international coverage of current energy topics, often with a technical bent. Her sources are among the most respected of industry professionals.

After writing her doctoral thesis about the electricity industry undergoing deregulation at London Business School, she went to work for Enron to test her research hypotheses on modelling uncertainty and flexibility. Thereafter, she consulted for Platts on European power and weather data and then joined the magazine group as the only editor outside of the US.

In Houston, she conducted two major studies: 1- predicting the timing of retail access to power, and 2- power pools around the world and gaming strategies. In Medellin, Colombia, she gave a guest lecture on the deregulation of the electricity industry in the US. In London, she developed corporate intranets to support UK and European gas trading, including historical and forecast weather information/data.

During her two-year stint as editor of Platts' bi-monthly Global Energy Business (which later merged with Energy IT to become Platts Energy Business and Technology), she wrote cover stories and other feature articles on timely and timeless subjects such as price and demand forecasting, climate change and emissions trading, weather derivatives, online trading, straight-through processing, risk management and trading systems, etc. During this time, she also invited and edited contributed articles from experts on real options, system dynamics, market design, value at risk, project finance, and other technical subjects.
