Today's volatile energy market, with increasing costs, complex regulations, and ever-growing pressure to decarbonize, creates a challenging landscape for businesses. A strategic energy supply management approach is crucial to navigate these complexities. A well-executed strategy helps organizations mitigate risk, reduce costs, create budget certainty, while simultaneously achieving their sustainability and renewable energy goals.
What is Energy Supply Management?
Energy supply management is the strategic practice of securing reliable and cost-effective energy for an organization, while also optimizing energy use and achieving sustainability goals.
The Challenge
Energy supply management presents a significant challenge for even the most advanced organizations. The complexity of managing contracts and vendors across a diverse portfolio of sites and regions is further compounded by the ever-changing landscape of market rules, conditions, and participants. The overwhelming amount of available options are intensified by frequent local and regional regulatory changes. Additionally, for large, single-site consumers, Scope 1 emissions reduction initiatives can significantly influence these areas and may need to be integrated into the overall supply management strategy. Ensuring clear communication, aligned goals, and efficient data exchange among all stakeholders is crucial for successful energy supply management.
