Workshop to optimise the procurement strategys of the energy supply

The experts of Energy Brainpool analyse and evaluate current procurement strategies based on the market situation in an in-house workshop. The workshop offers specific recommendations for actions including techniques for optimisation of the procurement strategy and cost reduction.

The intensive workshop procurement strategy check-up imparts detailed knowledge of price analysis and individual methods suitable for the market situation:

• Intensive seminar chart technique and technical analysis including live analysis of the current market price
• Individual check-up workshop of the current electricity and gas procurement strategy

Energy suppliers, regional and municipal utilities often align the optimisation of procurement strategies on current trends and price developments at energy exchanges.

Stable price development trends, like continuously increasing, decreasing or sideward trends, offer a consistent and secure foundation to align the procurement strategy.

But what happens, if the price trend chances?

Since the beginning of exchange trading in 2002, four trend phases in price developments occurred:

1. Increasing trend up to the Lehman crash as the characteristic price development of the "ancient energy industry"
2. Decreasing trend with abrupt price collapse during the economic crisis
3. Volatile sideways movement during a search and orientation phase and a short-term rise in prices after the nuclear catastrophe of Fukushima
4. Decreasing trend due to the price drop of coal, gas and emission certificates as well as the merit order of the renewables wind and photovoltaic

Early in 2016 the electricity price left the trend channel - even before the Brexit decision was made. This can point to a potential trend change. More signals in chart technique like Bollinger Bands, MACD or Fibonacci support this tendency.

The adjustment of existing long and short-term strategies of energy procurement offer long-term potential to increase revenue.

Furthermore the fundamental price forecast offers a comprehensive analysis to model medium and long-term fundamental price developments.
