Risk Management

Energy markets are very complex and can be subject to great volatility and liquidity. To provide a complete procurement service UPL will look to adopt a specific risk management approach regardless of the type of contract that is being sought.

Achieving the optimum balance between risk and opportunity is the key goal of any risk management programme, and the UPL Procurement Department will work closely with you to discuss objectives, constraints and a preferred approach to the buying process.

With every offering in the energy market there will be inherent risks. UPL focus on identifying and quantifying possible those risks posed by the energy marketplace, whilst at the same time ensuring a sufficient and robust approach is used to mitigate them. We work closely with our customers to ensure all parties are clear about the principles and protocols underpinning the purchasing strategy, including:

• Appetite for risk
• Route to market
• Implementation of supply contract
• Budgetary constraints
