The company launched its Portfolio Delivery service in 2011 with the objective of improving the way ACES delivers analysis and hedging recommendations to its members. The service has grown in importance as clients adopt more individualized hedging strategies, long-term strategies for power supply portfolios, and as the industry faces new and growing long-term challenges from competition, coal retirements, EPA carbon regulation and changing market and RTO structures.
Recognizing that less of the team’s time is being spent coordinating the delivery of recommendations and more time working with members on the power supply strategies that address the broader risks facing our clients today, ACES decided to rebrand the Portfolio Delivery team as “Portfolio Strategy”. The same team will continue to be the key interface with members for any long-term portfolio recommendations and will lead client strategy projects for ACES, as directed.
