Utilities

Actively manage demand, drive profits and lower risk

The unfortunate truth for utilities is that traditional tools for energy trading and risk management too often fall well short of what they need. That can be the case for a large, integrated utility as much as it can be for small municipal operators. Either way, this troublesome state opens the door to increased risks and costs.

Allegro for Utilities

Allegro is made to mitigate risk. Designed to provide complete and timely insights, Allegro’s energy trading and commodity risk management software works with utilities by connecting their teams of traders, schedulers, accountants, compliance personnel and other strategic employees.

For utilities, the ability to manage assets at the lowest cost, and to handle logistics and operations with lower risk and improved profitability, is more important than ever, considering the increasing demand to satisfy customers, regulators and, if they’re publicly traded, shareholders. Whether you’re a power or natural gas utility, the way to address these challenges is with Allegro’s energy trading software.

  • "[With] the legacy system we had prior to Allegro, we could not manage all our commodity risk properly. Our emissions and renewables portfolio was in spreadsheets, and a lot of the gas activities was not as detailed as what we have today from a logistics standpoint. We had probably 8 to 10 small, little applications around the core risk management system, and it wasn’t sufficient."
