Industrial and Commercial Companies need to manage their energy risk
There is now a general pattern of ongoing concern over energy related costs and structure, and their impact on corporate sustainable growth, in a situation of strong price surge.

Consequently the global response of industrial companies has been to promote a centralization of the energy procurement function:

Some of the main European and US airlines are contemplating merging their kerosene supply and risk management function for the member companies of their various alliances.

Most chemical companies are working on the creation of an energy pole, jointly or separately.

The big energy consumers (like aluminum and steel companies) are rethinking their energy procurement strategy, for example in the US when the price of electricity has been dramatically escalating.
