- Monitoring the energy markets and price developments.
- Use of market models to identify optimal times for energy purchasing. - Portfolio strategy
- Defining a mix of short-term and long-term contracts.
- Integration of renewable energies and in-house generation (e.g. photovoltaics). - Risk management
- Use of hedging instruments (e.g. futures, options).
- Ongoing assessment of risks such as market price fluctuations, supply shortfalls or regulatory changes. - Supplier selection and contract management
- Selecting the best suppliers based on price, reliability and sustainability.
- Negotiation of contract terms (e.g. price commitment, flexibility). - Monitoring and optimization
- Ongoing monitoring of energy prices and consumption.
- Adjustment of the procurement strategy in the event of changes to the general conditions.
Strategic energy procurement requires close cooperation between energy experts, controlling and management in order to achieve both economic and ecological goals.
