Power trading

[MrJuice]

I am interested in learning more about power trading. Namely, info on buying power from small generators like farmers with some wind turbines and then selling it to commercial buyers like shopping centres.

What if I buy 10 units of power but my customer needs 12 units. The customer will clearly get their 12 units but who will I pay for it and what price?

I realise these are niche questions but maybe someone might be able to point me to some sources of info

thanks

UK or European power?

There's a short term spot balancing market in the UK.

There's some info on the market as a whole here:
