PowerPortfolio^®

Portfolio Strategies for Electricity

PowerPortfolio® is a customized, blended wholesale electricity procurement product with fixed and index priced (market-based) strategies for an appropriate degree of risk exposure throughout your business cycle and contract term. Through this approach, your electricity procurement strategy is structured as a portfolio of layered forward purchases. As the market moves, you're positioned to seize new forward purchases - at the most favorable price offerings available.

Customized Strategy and Streamlined Transactions
PowerPortfolio delivers added value to your energy management program with personal consultation and supply management support. Your Portfolio Strategist begins the process with an analysis of your usage profile and business requirements to develop a clearly defined electricity buying strategy for your business.

Other Portfolio Options

Lower Annual Usage
You may still be able to take advantage of PowerPortfolio if your annual usage is less than 50,000 MWh. If your usage is between 10,000 and 50,000 MWh per year, ask your sales representative about PowerPortfolio options that can better meet your business needs.

Aggregation
Direct Energy Business also works with groups of customers to develop and manage electricity aggregation programs. Groups of smaller customers with combined usage that meets PowerPortfolio requirements can gain access to this unique procurement choice. To discuss aggregations, contact an office near you or send us an e-mail.
