Edge Energy Services (Edge) provides expert advice to large energy consumers. Good advice starts with understanding the customers energy constraints, requirements and motivations. This means any identifying seasonal or daily trends in demand as well as risk appetite and any green commitments. Once Edge understands the critical information we will facilitate a tailored agreement with an energy provider. For more complex energy portfolio’s, customers may benefit from on-going management services particularly when progressively purchasing or taking spot exposure.
Over the past 18 months wholesale energy prices have increased. This has forced consumers to think more laterally about their energy costs. Most energy providers will base their pricing offers on the forward curve that day. If the customer wants to reduce exposure to the forward curve one option is to enter into an agreement directly with a generator through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). These agreements commit the customer to purchasing the offtake from a generator at a set price for a defined term, usually a minimum of 10 years. As technology continues to improve the cost of generating electricity declines and PPA’s become increasingly appealing.
