Electricity Procurement: Risk or Strategy?
If you sell electricity, you have to buy it first. Without a plan for the spot market, forwards, and hedging, that gets expensive fast.
Why Electricity Procurement Is So Demanding
Spot, forwards, direct contracts, guarantees of origin. Each source has a different risk. Procurement has to fit the customers, the load, and how much swing you can carry.
The markets move. The rules change. A supplier's margin hangs on this decision.
The Most Expensive Mistakes in Energy Trading
Hedging forwards too late, buying everything from one source, not understanding balancing-group settlement. That regularly costs suppliers six-figure sums.
New suppliers underestimate how much work sits in the portfolio.
