The Planalytics EnergyBuyer Service provides daily global market monitoring, price analysis and buying guidance to help companies manage financial risk in today’s volatile energy markets. The EnergyBuyer Service includes direct support with Planalytics market experts and meteorologists, “InsideEdge” e-newsletters delivered throughout the week and 24/7 access to the EnergyBuyer website. The website is an analysis platform with live futures pricing (Nymex and Globex); buying, hedging and risk management suggestions; accounting and reporting functions; and charting and market research tools.

With daily market tracking and a year-ahead view of the market the EnergyBuyer Service provides viewpoints for both tactical decisions (“Should I buy gas today or this week?”) and strategic purchasing objectives (Should I lock in prices for next summer or year now?). Planalytics continuously monitors the market to determine when prices are attractive or too high, delivering companies straightforward purchasing guidance in the form of “buy” or “wait” suggestions for individual commodities and months. Suggestions are based on Planalytics’ analytical models and predictive technologies that project how prices will be influenced by a combination of variables that include global financial conditions (interest rates, foreign exchange, credit markets, exchanges etc.), fundamental factors (demand, inventory levels, etc.), technical analysis, trading dynamics (open interest, spread positions, etc.) and future weather conditions.

The Planalytics ImpactPower Service isolates and quantifies weather's impact on demand and then projects it up to a year forward. Through ImpactPower’s Power Weather IndexSM, companies are able to forecast and plan for the weather-driven change in power demand for a period (week, month or season) this year compared to the same period of the previous year. The Power Weather Index is provided through a variety of maps, graphs and tables and companies can download the information into spreadsheets or .pdf files.
