Strict requirements regarding the share of RES in energy mix

What questions should a well-prepared energy-related strategy answer?

The necessity to meet increasingly strict requirements regarding the share of RES in energy mix, the need of decarbonisation and improvement of obsolete facilities in the generation and transmission sector, as well as diversification of hydrocarbon supplies may contribute to a growth in the prices of electricity and gas, as well as their high instability in a short-term perspective. Therefore, preventing the effects of the current energy crisis is among the key problems faced by clients from each economy sector. No new energy management tools have been implemented, and the old ones may prove insufficient or inflexible. Thus, adopting such solutions as energy-related strategy to improve security of energy supplies to an enterprise in a short-, medium- and long-term perspective, as well as to optimise and diversity its cost and use, is worth considering.

What does the process of preparing energy-related strategy involve? It includes both the analysis of currently followed supply contracting principles and of electricity and gas consumption profile, the current prices and recommended optimisation measures based on available short-, medium- and long-term solutions. Developing an energy supply strategy for an enterprise should include its business specifics, among others the size and electricity demand profile, as well as characteristics of production and all other internal processes.

What questions should a well-prepared energy-related strategy answer?

  • How should an enterprise obtain electricity and gas in the short-, medium- and long-term perspective?
  • Should an enterprise include RES in its strategy? How?
  • Should an enterprise generate and sell electricity or gas? If so, how should the process be optimised?
  • How to incorporate the developed energy-related strategy into corporate ESG strategy?

The strategy itself requires a regular update and a comprehensive approach. It will be reliable only if based on verified data. Once the strategy has been approved, it must be implemented based on the presented scenarios of energy supply, diversification of its sources and mitigation of risks related to the new solutions.
