All commodity markets can be extremely volatile and "energy" is no exception. Market speculation & trading can lead to significant changes in wholesale prices over and above the simple fundamentals of supply and demand.

At Inspired we recognise that larger clients need not be confined to a fixed budget, and that the risk of placing a high cash value account on one day out of 365 carries far greater risk than spreading the purchases into smaller 'tranches'.

Inspired has a 9 person energy purchasing team all of whom use the SPECTRON and ICE Futures trading systems. These screens provide us with real time pricing for all energy markets across the UK & Europe in addition to various other markets which affect energy prices, such as oil and currencies.

Whilst no-one can say with absolute certainty what will happen tomorrow, some of the tools we use give us clear indications as to what trades will occur on these actively traded commodities and therefore the likelihood of up or down movements in price. For example we have live visibility of whether a sellers ASK has been met or a buyers BID been accepted.

	Our comprehensive service offers the following benefits to our clients: Flexibility over purchasing decisions for greater control; base load, peak & residual Increased price transparency as base load & peak purchases relate to published market prices Monthly, Quarterly or Seasonal purchase periods, both in and out of sequence The ability to split each purchase period into as many as ten blocks Multiple "un fixes" for qualifyng clients should conditions change following a trade Regular market commentary and Bi Monthly independent market report
