Similarly to the magnetized planets of the solar system, giant exoplanets are expected to be strong nonthermal radio emitters. This is especially true for Hot Jupiters, where the interaction of the planet with the stellar wind is believed to be much stronger than for planets at larger orbital distances. Also, radio detection would yield additional information about the emitting planet, turning the search for radio emission of extrasolar planets into a useful additional observation method. In this work, the method is explored. The key parameters for the estimation of the radio flux resulting from the stellar wind--magnetosphere interaction are reviewed and discussed. It is shown that the radio flux anticipated for certain planets is strong enough to allow ground-based detection in the near future.
