Energy & Carbon Prices: Creating the correct strategic response
Thanks to the efforts of many, Cancun has strengthened the hand of policy makers which will benefit the policies that are currently on the drafting table. The Energy Market Reform (EMR), will go into consultation in the next few weeks, with 2011 promising to see the biggest overhaul of the energy sector since privatisation 20 years ago With rising underlying energy prices, this is a good time to review energy strategies.
Carbon floor prices, the extension of the Feed in Tariff and a new emissions performance standard, will all increase the unit price of energy and the complexity of energy management. Energy Managers need to understand the specialisms of their roles, and senior management needs to weigh up the merits of self operating versus outsourcing this non-core function.
