Abstract
This Energy Insights report looks at eight vendors that provide
scheduling, nominations, and settlement functionality — Allegro, Amphora, OpenLink Financial,
SolArc, SunGard Energy, The Structure Group, Triple Point, and Ventyx.
With economic conditions and reduced liquidity in energy commodity markets,
the emphasis in energy trading has shifted from financial to
the physical delivery of energy. Today, companies trading energy are
emphasizing physical delivery of energy as they seek to reduce
costs and mitigate risk.
According to Jill Feblowitz, practice director of
Business Technology, "Over the past two years, vendors have been
building richer functionality in scheduling, nominations, logistics and settlement. There
are some vendors that have built in capabilities for more
operational intelligence such as the ability to optimize the delivery
path, such as for gas as it moves through storage
and pipelines, for economic benefit. This type of analysis will
be critical to energy companies going forward."
