Define the requirement.
Identify the entity, activity, delivery profile, project stage and intended outcome. Agree what information is relevant to assess the opportunity.

Our approach
A practical framework for moving from a first conversation to an agreed commercial and operational scope.
Energy markets are complex. The conversation about a potential partnership should still be understandable.
Our proposed working framework connects the commercial requirement with the relevant data, market arrangements, credit considerations and operational responsibilities. The exact process is adapted to the transaction or service being discussed.
Identify the entity, activity, delivery profile, project stage and intended outcome. Agree what information is relevant to assess the opportunity.
Review the applicable market arrangements, operational scope, data availability and counterparty requirements. Make assumptions and outstanding items visible.
Discuss price, volume obligations, security, costs, payment dates and the allocation of responsibilities. Confirm what is included and what remains outside the proposed scope.
Identify contacts, calendars, confirmations and data exchange. Implementation follows the completion of the applicable agreements and prerequisites.
Use agreed references for delivery, settlement and corrections. Distinguish confirmed information from provisional values and track unresolved questions.
Risk awareness
Consider price sensitivity, production uncertainty and the implications of a delivery profile.
Understand the contracting entity, payment obligations and any agreed security.
Clarify source quality, timestamps, handovers and the responsibility for exceptions.
Tell us what you need to buy, sell or structure. We will clarify the information and next steps relevant to the discussion.
