A reliable look into the future

At Alpiq, we use a sophisticated management system to determine future energy requirements. We analyze energy demand very carefully and leave nothing to chance. In this way we are sure to meet future while reaching the highest levels of reliability and quality.

Alpiq owns a wide variety of energy purchase rights and sales contracts for electricity, coal, gas and other energies, which vary widely from country to country. For instance, Alpiq owns rights to highly flexible pump storage hydroelectric stations in Switzerland and gas-fired power plants in Italy. We have electricity futures contracts with suppliers in other countries. To determine future electricity demand, our international team of portfolio management uses sophisticated software for trading and risk management. Our specialists create complex models that incorporate energy rights, sales contracts, power plant capacity, and transport rights for all products (electricity, coal, gas, CO₂, etc.).

In Romania, our team of experts combines local experience, powerful software and international expertise to formulate trading recommendations for our customers. Our analysis of future energy usage lays the foundation for a secure, low-cost supply of electricity that properly accounts for risk. Our portfolio management team assists customers to optimize the electricity procurement process, delivering value and minimising risk exposure.

A closed circle: Alpiq's portfolio management allows you to optimally procure electricity based on an appropriate yield-risk ratio, even when secondary factors are taken into account.
