TP ICAP Group, a leading provider of market infrastructure, announces that its ICAP Weather desk has been named best Weather Risk Management Broker for Europe and North Americas in Environmental Finance's Annual Market Rankings 2021. The awards celebrate the leading green, social and sustainability bond deals and leading market participants.                  

Environmental Finance's Annual Market Rankings recognise firms for their thought-leadership, best practice, or innovation. The award is judged by industry leaders and fellow participants operating in the same landscape.

2021 has been another hugely successful year for the ICAP Weather desk, which completed a landmark solar derivative deal in Australia, bringing together a renewable energy provider and a reinsurance company participant with a fixed agreement for the first time. The transaction enabled an Australian utility company to lock in a fixed price for the electricity generated by its solar plant, ensuring certainty of a fixed price in a market that is highly volatile.

It also launched a first of its kind Climate Index this year, in partnership with Speedwell. The Index uses global weather data to track climate change thereby allowing financial risk related to the rate of climate change to be traded.

TP ICAP has made strong progress towards its aim to be the broker for the transition to a green economy, and has plans to continue that work throughout 2022.  

Nick Ernst, Managing Director, Weather Markets, TP ICAP, said: "We are delighted to be named best broker for Weather Risk Management in Europe and North America. It's a testament to the quality of the people across our team that continue to drive innovation and create opportunities for market participants to diversify their risks and increase investment in the renewable energy industry."
