The Challenge:
Strategizing energy purchases in today’s market can be an enigma. With prices swinging due to supply, weather, and global politics, timing is everything.
Consider adopting a managed energy strategy with Ampica Energy Solutions. Our expert consultants will guide you through the market landscape, helping you invest in energy at the most opportune times.
With dedicated client account managers, we closely monitor your load and risk profile, tailoring purchasing strategies to meet your objectives.
The managed energy product allows organizations to cost-average prices to ensure the purchased energy is aligned with their company’s risk tolerance and goals. Participants may secure any portion of their load based on market conditions, providing flexibility while avoiding a one-time energy purchase.
Initially, the customer bought all their energy when prices were high (see arrow on the graph). But with a managed energy strategy, they could’ve saved big bucks! They could’ve avoided overspending by over $100,000 by purchasing at lower prices later on.
Ampica’s approach stops companies from putting all their energy eggs in one expensive basket. Instead, it allows them to seize better market rates, staying below a set maximum price and closer to an agreed-upon target.
This customer played it smart. They locked in half their energy load at a fixed rate of $0.04499 per kWh to hedge against winter price spikes. But here’s the kicker – they took advantage of lower prices later, nabbing the remaining 50% at just $0.02245 per kWh.
By not going all-in with a fixed rate, they pocketed over $0.02 per kWh in savings.
With Ampica’s managed strategy, customers can play the market strategically. By securing part of their load at a fixed rate, they cushion themselves against seasonal price hikes.
Meanwhile, our expert account managers keep a close watch for better deals, ensuring savings that wouldn’t be possible with a 100% fixed rate.
Here’s an intelligent move by another one of Ampica’s clients: they opted for a managed strategy to handle risk and tap into the index market’s potential.
With Ampica’s guidance, they crafted a savvy purchasing plan: keep things steady during shoulder months but snag deals during the volatile summer and winter seasons. They locked in 100% of their energy needs for those peak periods while leaving the rest to ride the market wave.
The customer balanced risk and market exposure thanks to our managed energy strategy. Our consultants pinpointed the perfect times to buy, maximizing their savings.
And guess what? This strategic approach scored them a whopping $41,000 in savings compared to a fixed-rate deal. Now, that’s intelligent energy management!
