Block & Index - What Should I Do?

We have a lot of conversations with our clients and prospective clients about the electricity and natural gas markets. Most of those conversations revolve around taking either a “fixed price, variable (indexed) price or a combination of the two (block and index) 3rd party supply contract”.  The other part of the conversation usually revolves around “how long of a term” and “when should we do this”.  What NuEnergen does best in our energy sourcing group is  to have the necessary conversations with Sr. Management around risk management and budget.  We find that most of the time by doing a deep dive with the right group of people around these two issues, coupled with our in depth analysis of where the market is heading, we’re able to best recommend the strategy that is right for you.  Our process involves many moving parts, but the most important part of that process typically lies with our clients, their short and long term financial goals and their risk tolerance. So the next time someone gives a recommendation on purchasing energy in a deregulated market, ask the question - why?
