Procurement

SAIC assists customers with energy procurement, including auction support, for electricity, natural gas, diesel fuel, renewable energy, and carbon credits. Our services range from discrete energy procurements to complete energy procurement outsourcing.

Mitigating Risk and Cost

In a time of great volatility in energy prices and availability, adopting a routine and systematic process to evaluate energy market conditions, price volatility, and budget control requirements may lead to greater price certainty and cost control. SAIC works with our customers to manage the energy supplier selection and energy product procurement process, including procurement design, plan, and execution. We help customers develop innovative energy procurement and management plans to mitigate their risks, costs and, most importantly, to manage within their corporate guidelines. By refocusing the risk exposure into their impact on corporate objectives, our services help customers to convert a risk exposure into a management decision.
