Why shouldn I just use my companys e-procurement system, instead of a system specially designed for energy procurement?
If you’ve ever purchased electricity or natural gas on the open market, you are aware of the special nature and multiple complexities involved, especially the volatility in “hourly” prices. After all, purchasing paper clips in bulk is different than energy purchasing. The Procure⢠process easily handles load data, can run separate auctions to test multiple contract alternatives, segments different loads to avoid cross-subsidization and simultaneously tests green power alternatives.
