Natural Gas Utilities

Gas utilities must remain profitable while shielding commercial, industrial and residential customers behind the city gate from price volatilities and supply uncertainties that plague wholesale markets. Thus utilities need the best available decision support for trading and hedging — such as advanced decision analytics, easy-to-use simulation tools and “forward focus” for market optimization that only Allegro delivers.

Allegro solutions are built upon the industry’s only proven modular architecture and native Web services, providing users with unequalled integration, streaming market data, collaboration tools and business process automation. Allegro application modules stand on their own or “mix and match” in any combination to deliver a total solution that fits each company’s unique business requirements.

These capabilities support efficient contract management, purchasing, pricing and position management. As a result, utilities improve performance on trading, hedging and other risk management tasks such as dynamically calculating Credit Value at Risk (CVaR) in real time to manage credit limit exposures. Trading and hedging are fully supported in virtually all energy- and weather-related derivatives and other instruments. Users manage spot contracts, plus term contracts by any time period, using flexible pricing formulas including discounts and premiums to spot index prices or other benchmarks.

Allegro automates valuation and settlement of trades, with drag-and-drop scheduling for transport with all associated data and documentation. Because everything’s integrated, the scheduling application reflects new trades in real time and, at the user’s option, optimizes transportation contracts and matches natural gas supply to current demand.
