Energy Supply Management

Our experience in the structure and management of energy supply contracts will ensure that your business receives maximum value across all key energy purchases. At Pace Global, our expert energy buyers continuously and meticulously review market conditions against your existing contract positions and cost objectives to determine where opportunities can be captured and risks best contained.

When you work with Pace Global, our dedicated market experts will implement energy supply strategies that create maximum advantage through:

• Location aggregation to increase purchasing scale and reduce supplier premiums
• Structuring of contract terms to take advantage of the most economic energy sourcing options and opportune buying times
• Consideration of longer-term transactions to reduce premiums and take advantage of potentially backwardated forward price curves
• Reduction of credit terms and other hidden cost components such as supply management fees and other service fees
• Utilization of advanced procurement technologies including online bidding platforms and reverse auctions to maximize supplier competition

The volatility associated with energy commodities represents an immense management challenge for energy consumers. Positions that appear safe today can rapidly erode operating margins and impact your bottom line. Because of this, energy risk management has taken on heightened importance to effectively manage and meet both budget and broader business objectives.

Tailored to your business needs and objectives, our highly effective, non-speculative risk management program brings a consistent and structured approach to mitigate or take advantage of energy market volatility.

At Pace Global we apply analytical rigor and market perspective to achieve your objectives. Here's how:

• We use proprietary back cast and risk horizon tools to provide intelligent risk profile analysis and perspective to guide hedge decisions.
• We aggressively represent your interests during the execution of hedge transactions.
• We leverage our access to comprehensive market price feeds and forecasts to ensure the competitiveness of each supplier's offer.
• We provide daily updates on market positions and target cost performance through Energy Zone®.
• We offer insightful and informative market advisory perspectives through ongoing personal engagement with our clients.

In order to enable participation in the lower end of the markets, you have to have deep knowledge of what makes prices move and the foresight, discipline and importantly the ability to act before the market spikes against your objectives.  Pace Global monitors markets on a daily basis including fundamental drivers and technical indicators and identifies when to buy and when to float consistent with your defined objectives.  Leverage over 35 years of market insight and analysis to eliminate speculation and time your energy purchases and contain the risks facing your organization.

Load projections are critical to all stages of energy management including planning, purchasing and delivery.  By projecting accurate load requirements, Pace Global can reduce the risk of load variation allowing you to purchase more wholesale energy products and eliminate risk premiums in your contracts.  Furthermore, Pace Global will work with your plant personnel to ensure the most cost effective use of energy by switching the energy type that is used – e.g., from natural gas to oil or from purchased power to generated power.  Let Pace Global monitor your load performance and energy usage, allowing you to focus on your core business.
