Member of the Board

Already on October 15, 2021, at the Pomeranian Employers' Energy and Climate Forum, we will deal with the most timely topic - energy prices. Virtually every day the media reports about the sharp increase in energy prices. Until recently, entrepreneurs paid PLN 300 for each MWh of energy consumed. Currently, the rates exceed PLN 500 and although they are shocking - unfortunately - they are less and less surprising.

What will you learn at the meeting?

• How much will entrepreneurs' electricity bills increase? We will talk about energy and gas prices in 2022 and forecasts for the coming years. We will also analyze the current situation on the Polish and European market, which has an impact on the finances of our companies.
• How to negotiate energy prices with sellers? Here are some practical ways to pay less. Why is it worth taking a little more time to rethink your energy purchasing strategy? We will tell you about the products offered by sellers - what options are available for small and large enterprises.
• We will debunk the monopoly myth and encourage you to consider switching supplier. We will tell you about the secrets of energy sellers - which is not told to customers.
• What are the current market trends, ie energy that is becoming more and more renewable. Fashion or investment that saves money?
• How to increase the company's energy efficiency? We will talk about investments in our own energy generation sources and the use of technical solutions to reduce electricity bills.

Energy purchase based on the exchange model allows you to contract all or part of the volume at current market prices. The purchase is based on tranches indexed to prices from the Polish Power Exchange (TGE). Thanks to this solution, public institutions gained access to the wholesale energy market through an intermediary (seller) and can independently decide when and in what quantity they will purchase all or part of the volume they will consume in the future. This is a good solution - by spreading the purchase over a longer period, public institutions increase the likelihood of obtaining favorable prices.

Exchange purchase, available to customers who consume at least several hundred MWh of energy per year, increases the chance of generating savings compared to purchase at a fixed price, as it reduces the risks for energy sellers themselves. However, it should be remembered that this form of purchase is associated with the risk of an increase in stock exchange prices, which in the event of insufficient control of the purchasing process may result in higher final energy prices.

Energy of the future – from energy storage to dynamic tariffs

The dynamic development of renewable energy sources (RES) opens new prospects for enterprises. In the face of challenges related to connecting new renewable energy sources to the power grid, storage technologies are becoming an increasingly important element. Hybrid installations combining renewable energy sources with energy storage are developing at a fast pace. This solution not only increases independence from traditional sources and the national system, but also increases the security of energy systems. Thanks to this, the electricity produced from renewable energy installations at the peak of production (e.g. a photovoltaic installation during sunlight hours) can be partially used for current needs, and the rest of the produced energy will go to storage. This will make the owners of such sets more energy independent, regardless of the consumption profile, provided that a sufficiently large generation and storage capacity is built. An additional environmental advantage is the ability to obtain 100% green energy for your company.

Preparing customers' electricity systems to use dynamic tariffs will be an interesting topic in 2024. Although the launch of the Central Energy Market Information System (CSIRE) will not take place in mid-2024, as originally planned, this moment is getting closer. The introduction of a fully functional system will mean that consumers who consume even little energy will have the opportunity to use dynamic tariffs, in which the price will be different for each 15-minute delivery period. The introduction of purchasing automation supported by artificial intelligence to this model will allow for better management of energy flows, prediction of failures and optimization of deliveries. Artificial intelligence will begin to play an increasingly important role in the energy sector, from process automation to advanced analyses. This is not only efficiency, but also the key to understanding market trends. As energy networks digitize, new risks will emerge: cyberattacks. Investments in advanced security systems will become key to protecting critical infrastructure. Reliability of energy supplies will be a priority, and a key aspect in the near future will be the modernization of the network to strengthen its resistance to failures and the diversification of energy sources.
