Energy trading and risk management
Clients are exposed to energy and commodity price risk across the energy and banking sectors. We bring together expertise across all areas of the wholesale energy supply chain – ranging from strategy and market entry, regulation and compliance, governance and risk management, operating model and architecture design, and custom or package based systems implementation and integration.
Issues and trends within the industry
- Energy markets are always volatile, but with today’s analyst and shareholder expectations, along with constantly changing regulatory requirements, the ability of companies exposed to energy and commodities to manage risk is more important than ever.
- In energy markets where deregulation applies, companies are having to deal with strategic, operational and cultural shifts as they transition from regulated monopolies into market-driven suppliers of competitively priced energy and related services.
- The need to be competitive across multiple energy asset classes in several countries is driving new ways of operating to ensure the energy supply chain is commercially optimised.
- Oil and gas companies continue to struggle with downstream supply chain optimisation which is even more critical now. In addition, the regulatory scrutiny associated with adherence to state and federal rules has never been higher – both nationally and internationally.
- With ever increasing pressure on CO2 emissions levels, energy companies need to develop strategies for monitoring and transacting in emissions allowances.
- Uncertain energy costs and the impact of the wholesale markets is driving a range of companies across manufacturing, retail and public sector to review their energy procurement and hedging practices.
