The only ETRM purpose-built for Natural Gas
Natural Gas business operations span wellhead to pipeline to city gate to meter, comprising both wholesale and retail activities. Natural Gas Traders are responsible for procuring physical supply and Risk Managers are responsible for ensuring an organization is properly hedged to protect against loss and maximize profit. Historically, LDCs, Marketers, Pipelines and Utilities have looked to ETRM systems to supply operational functionality, however traditional ETRM systems are not built to support Natural Gas, but rather they cater to a wide variety of wholesale commodities, such as power, natural gas, crude, refined products, corn, wheat, metals and others. Accommodating the needs of such a broad range of commodities means traditional ETRM systems’ support for commodity breadth comes at the expense of Natural Gas functionality depth, not to mention being devoid of much needed retail functionality.
Natural Gas businesses that acquire a traditional ETRM often find themselves compensating for functionality shortcomings with costly software customizations that involve considerable development time and fail to fully meet business needs. Consulting hours and related costs escalate, time passes, operations staff grow increasingly frustrated and the business suffers. Commonly, businesses in such scenarios regress to manual methods, such as spreadsheets, devaluing the return on their considerable multi-commodity ETRM investment.
