Understanding Energy Contracts
A Comprehensive Guide
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Understanding Energy Contracts training course will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of energy contracts essential to manage the volatile energy market. In this GLOMACS training course, participants will receive a thorough in-depth exposition of the several energy contracts and understand the rationale behind them and acquire essential skills to negotiate sound well thought out energy contracts.
Energy needs must be met in a world that cannot survive without it. How effectively we meet this need will determine the development of the modern world. Energy Contracts need to be strategic and looked at through the lens of your company’s current risk profile. Companies need to formulate a targeted approach. Your energy contract management should provide customized solutions and also determine the best pricing strategy to meet your efficiency goals. Parties to the contracts want to mitigate dramatic price increases, and the contracts need to address this and provide workable solutions. There is a need for customized contracts to avoid undue penalties which can cripple the commercial viability of a project. Energy contracts must allow for flexibility, and the contracts must reflect this and have a robust basis for meeting stakeholders’ requirements.
