ERM helps organizations cut through the complexity surrounding clean energy. We work with clients to identify the best-fit contracting solutions that will help them meet their climate and energy goals while managing risks and optimizing economic outcomes.
This advisory support is provided via two ERM companies: ERM Coho, based in the United States, and ERM Energetics, based in Australia.
Switching to clean energy is a cost-effective and impactful pathway to achieving climate goals at a time when sustainability leaders are facing tight deadlines related to public climate change commitments.
Clean energy represents a major departure from traditional electricity procurement and risk management practices. Buyers must navigate the needs and risk tolerance of internal stakeholders, and the challenges associated with complex power purchase agreements and environmental commodities.
Not all products offered by clean energy developers, utilities, or other suppliers are the same. Risk allocation between the buyer, the load-serving entity/electricity retailer, and the renewable energy generator varies, as does the related pricing mechanism.
The market is complex and competitive. Identifying the best clean energy options, negotiating bespoke contracts, and striking the right balance between price and risk, requires savvy negotiation skills, experience, analytical capabilities and market intelligence.
