Risk Management

Effective risk management assigns risk to the party that is best prepared to managing the risk. Taking into account market conditions and timing, AES expertly quantifies and communicates the risks and benefits of various product types to assist our clients in developing customized procurement strategies that balance and manage each client’s specific appetite for risk (low, medium, high) with its need for budget certainty. Products range from fixed price to a wide array of sophisticated energy and energy-related financial tools.

Position reports, weekly updates (daily when appropriate), and strategic suggestions are tailored to client-specific risk levels. Recommendations may address any combination of additional saving opportunities, cost controls, or risk reduction.

Through our access to wholesale energy markets and proprietary energy data, AES is uniquely positioned to drive innovation in risk managed products. Cutting edge accomplishments include:

• First energy consultant to offer the Managed Product, a ground breaking product that allows buyers the optionality to change pricing structures within a single contract term as market conditions dictate.
• Led the way in developing and executing a 10 year award-winning contract with Baylor University.
