Choose the right perspective
Match the person's footprint to yours, since buying power and gas for a few plants in one market differs from running a global energy category across many countries. Also decide whether your question is mainly about hedging and contract structure, utility tariffs or renewable sourcing, and pick someone whose roles centered on that.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide how much of your electricity and gas to hedge, and over what time horizon?
- 02When does a renewable power purchase agreement make sense compared with buying renewable energy certificates or green tariffs?
- 03How do you organize energy procurement across sites in different deregulated and regulated markets?
