YEM optimization: customized fixing strategies

The YEM optimisation tool is designed for all standard B2B variable price gas and electricity supply contracts. YEM experts are at your disposal to analyse the clauses of your contracts. If you have any further questions please contact us!

Yes, you can start optimising a contract at any time. Contract optimisation can start from the date you sign the contract with your supplier until the end of the energy delivery period. However, the earlier the optimisation starts, the greater the potential gains!

The following information is required: the type of energy, the minimum fixing period and the fixing already carried out. The required information is available on the contract or through your supplier.

YEM provides a schedule with optimal fixing dates created on the basis of your contractual parameters. Yem optimisation gives you a dynamic view of market prices consistent with your chosen risk appetite.

By choosing a high, medium or low risk strategy, you tell the instrument whether you want to take more or less risk.
 The strategies correspond to YEM algorithms based in particular on Ref-E economic intelligence and their forecasts of energy market prices.
YEM’s fixing advice covers 100% of your gas or electricity quantities for the fixing periods of your contracts.
 YEM advises you on fixing transactions at least 2 months before the start of each fixing period of your contracts. For example, we do not advise you to fix the January-March 2021 period later than 1 November 2020. Risking fixing at the last minute is too risky a strategy that YEM does not consider or recommend.

Yes, at the beginning of optimisation you choose your risk strategy. But you can change this strategy at any time. This change will cause YEM to automatically and instantly recalculate your future recommendations. YEM allows you to manage the risks associated with an indexed contract by piloting with 3 predefined risk levels. The risk you take increases the possibility of making a higher profit, but also increases the possibility of loss.

YEM allows you to manage the risks associated with choosing an indexed contract by guiding you with predefined strategies. It will not guarantee you a profit over another strategy such as a fixed price or a strategy chosen elsewhere, but it will give you all the elements to achieve it! 
In principle, YEM advises to limit market risks and is based on fundamental trends: it does not offer advice when fixing periods are closed when markets can fluctuate a lot for reasons not under the control of our experts, such as weather conditions. Therefore, for each calculation, it only optimises the periods for deliveries beyond M+2 if the calculation takes place during month M.

Yes! YEM sends its recommendations, but you are free to contact your supplier to request whether or not to fix prices.
