Electricity procurement know-how
Our electricity procurement service provides know-how and expertise to ensure that energy suppliers are ideally equipped to address the forthcoming changes in electricity procurement.
Electricity procurement by energy suppliers is set to change in the medium term. At present, full supply is the most common type of procurement for small and medium-sized electricity suppliers. But pressure on prices will soon usher in additional forms of procurement; because in the liberalised electricity market, the more risks an energy supplier takes, the better the purchasing conditions. How much risk are you willing to take in terms of electricity procurement?
By helping you to build up know-how for medium-term changes in electricity procurement, our electricity procurement service prepares you for the challenges ahead.
Following an introductory discussion, we work with you to draw up a training programme. Training subjects can cover, for example:
Portfolio analysis: As a basis for discussion on procurement. What is your profile and how is it made up?
Forecasting: The more accurately you can estimate your capacity needs, the lower the balance energy costs will be. This is where the ability to forecast plays a key role.
Schedule management: Learn how to transfer forecast data in a standardised format.
Portfolio management: Purchase your electricity directly on European trading exchanges. Practice makes perfect: we build a shadow portfolio for you and carry out virtual transactions.
