Energy markets are volatile, complex and opaque. Many industrials take prices as they come, with no structured hedging strategy.

And leave millions on the table.

I managed the $90M global energy portfolio of a specialty chemicals group, across every continent. Hedging strategy, reduction, tax optimization.

A documented result

In a context of high post-2021 volatility, I restructured the gas and electricity hedging strategy of a specialty chemicals group, a subsidiary of a listed US group. In 10 months, $3.5M of recurring annual savings secured and held over several financial years. Scope: a $90M global portfolio covering electricity, gas, steam, compressed air, CO₂ and treated water, across every continent where the group operates.

6 areas of intervention, from assessment to multi-site steering

01

Energy assessment

Mapping · Contracts · Pricing mechanisms

Analysis of the current portfolio: contracts by site and by energy, pricing mechanisms (spot, fixed, indexed), hedges in place, contractual and tax optimization opportunities.

✓ Assessment feasible in 3 to 4 weeks, all industrial sectors, from a single site to multi-site Europe.
02

Hedging strategy

Spot/fixed · Indexation · Forward buying

Defining a strategy suited to your exposure: spot/fixed mix, indexation on public indices (PEG, EPEX, TTF), forward buying, framework contracts. A policy framed and documented for leadership and auditors.

✓ Hedging policy deployed worldwide, $3.5M of recurring annual savings held over several financial years.
03

Energy tenders

Multi-supplier · Analysis · Contracting

Full steering: scoping, specifications, multi-supplier consultation, multi-criteria analysis, negotiation, contracting. Robust indexation and revision clauses.

✓ Historical panel managed as Global Sourcing Manager Energy: energy majors, gas suppliers, alternative European players.
04

Energy master plan

Multi-site · Roadmap · Shared KPIs

A three-pillar master plan: purchasing (hedging, contracts), consumption reduction (opportunities, per-site tracking), cross-cutting steering. Per-site roadmap with KPIs shared with local leadership.

✓ Master plan deployed worldwide, per-site roadmap, savings held over several financial years.
05

Energy tax optimization

TICFE · CEE · CSPE · Industrial exemptions

Securing the applicable tax schemes: TICFE, energy savings certificates, industrial exemptions (ICPE and energy-intensive). Audit, structuring, case follow-up.

✓ A rare skill: few energy consultants master markets, contracts and taxation at once.
06

Market watch and steering

Power BI · Per-site indicators · Watch · Board reporting

Power BI dashboard: consumption by site and by vector, price tracking, budget variances, performance indicators. Market watch and opportunity alerts. Reporting tailored to the board.

✓ Personal Power BI development: procurement, energy, invoice and stock dashboards deployed.

Before the volatility, energy was a line item. Today it’s a risk that must be steered.
