Energy procurement teams face growing pressure to deliver cost certainty as commodity volatility, liquidity constraints and fast rising non-commodity charges reshape total energy cost in the context of Europe’s energy and low carbon transition. Traditional tactics are no longer enough when grid fees, regulatory updates, unpredictable market drivers and policy shifts can move costs almost overnight.
This webinar explains why resilience in the European energy market must now cover both commodity and non-commodity exposure, and how structural levers such as demand related actions and onsite solutions can help reduce reliance on cost components that cannot be hedged. With many drivers of total energy spend remaining fundamentally unhedgeable, anticipation, accuracy and agility have become essential capabilities.
Resilience today relies on a multi-pillar approach that includes:
-
Optimised sourcing strategies shaped by non-commodity cost evolution, regulatory trends and portfolio exposure.
-
Robust cost control capabilities, including invoice validation, forecasting accuracy, regulatory tracking and structured cost reduction opportunities.
-
Data, governance and decision enablement to provide transparency on cost drivers and support faster responses to regulatory or market change.
-
Demand-related levers such as efficiency measures, electrification where relevant, flexibility and onsite generation to reduce exposure to peak charges, network costs and volatile market periods.
You will learn how to:
-
Mitigate rising non-commodity charges and grid related risks within Europe’s regulatory landscape.
-
Build sourcing strategies resilient to volatility, liquidity pressure and regulatory change.
-
Use efficiency, electrification and onsite production to reduce exposure to total consumption and peak based costs.
-
Leverage flexibility, storage and smart load shifting to seize lower price opportunities and benefit from loadshedding incentives.
This session is designed for procurement, sourcing and energy risk leaders looking to strengthen control over what can be hedged and strategically manage what cannot, while building more resilient, future ready energy portfolios in Europe’s evolving market. It will also benefit energy, operations and finance stakeholders involved in improving cost predictability and managing exposure across the organisation.
