ERM helps organizations cut through the complexity surrounding energy solutions. We work with clients to identify the best-fit contracting solutions that will help them meet their decarbonization and energy goals while managing risks and optimizing economic outcomes.
Switching to clean energy is a cost-effective and impactful pathway to achieving climate goals at a time when sustainability leaders are facing tight deadlines related to public climate change commitments.
Clean energy represents a major departure from traditional electricity procurement and risk management practices and can present unique risks. Both traditional and clean energy should be contemplated and managed together to unlock hidden value – including cost savings and long-term risk mitigation through appropriate hedging strategies within energy portfolios. Energy buyers must navigate the needs and risk tolerance of internal stakeholders, and the challenges associated with complex contracts, including power purchase agreements, retail and wholesale energy, and environmental commodities.
Not all products offered by clean energy developers, utilities, or other suppliers are the same. Risk allocation between the buyer, the load-serving entity/electricity retailer, and the renewable energy generator varies, as does the related pricing mechanism.
The market is complex and competitive. Identifying the best-fit energy options, negotiating bespoke contracts, and striking the right balance between price and risk, requires savvy negotiation skills, advanced risk management experience, analytical capabilities and market intelligence.
