ANALYSIS: Goldman’s J Aron defies bank power trading pullback

While the number of banks active in physical power trading in the US has been decreasing, at least one perennial market maker — Goldman Sachs trading arm J Aron — has been holding steady.

According to wholesale power sales data reported to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, J Aron’s fourth quarter 2014 physical sales remained on par with the fourth quarter 2013 and were up 19% compared to the fourth quarter 2012.
