Gas and power utilities face high energy price fluctuations on both the supply side (their input fuels) and the demand side (the prices of their own products). They need risk management on the physical and financial side for supply management, hedging and trading, in order to control a complex mix of assets, contracts and regulatory obligations.

 

Utilities demand accurate reporting tools to manage regulatory compliance and to meet green objectives. Diversified utilities need an integrated portfolio view to manage credit, market and regulatory risks, and require analytics to simulate the impact of risk events.

 

RiskAdvisory’s energy risk solutions provide timely, accurate analytic capabilities. From position management and “what if” trading scenarios to data analysis and multi-currency integration, SAS BookRunner provides the complete toolset for utility companies to review and strengthen their financial, trading and risk management capabilities. Our solutions enable compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act, particularly the aggregation of data from spreadsheets and elsewhere into a system with the capability of slicing, dicing, analyzing and reporting with the audit trails necessary to meet the new standards.

 

SAS BookRunner solutions, as an integrated suite or operating as independent modules, provide a multi-faceted approach to ETRM requirements that helps financial officers and risk managers identify risk and support the organization’s business objectives. Using SAS energy risk solutions, the enterprise can identify synergies and areas prime for optimization, encouraging consistency of data and identifying areas for control enhancements.
