Energy Management Use Cases

Budget Forecasting

Track natural gas and diesel prices for annual budget planning. Build scenarios based on historical volatility and current forward curves.

✓ Monthly price averages
✓ Year-over-year comparisons
✓ Volatility metrics

Procurement Timing

Identify optimal times to lock in fuel contracts. Compare current prices to historical ranges and seasonal patterns.

✓ Seasonal trends analysis
✓ Price percentile rankings
✓ Alert when prices hit targets

Multi-Site Management

Track regional energy prices for facilities across the US, Europe, and Asia. Compare costs and identify arbitrage opportunities.

✓ US, European, Asian benchmarks
✓ Currency-adjusted comparisons
✓ Regional differentials

Variance Reporting

Explain energy cost variances to executives and boards. Show how market prices drove cost changes vs. operational factors.

✓ Historical price charts
✓ CSV/Excel export
✓ Audit trail for compliance

Energy-Intensive Industries We Serve

Steel & Metals

Track natural gas and coal for electric arc furnaces and blast furnaces. Energy is 20-40% of steel production costs.

Chemicals

Monitor natural gas as both fuel and feedstock. Track naphtha prices for petrochemical production economics.

Cement & Glass

Track coal and natural gas for kiln and furnace operations. Energy is 30-40% of production costs.

Mining

Monitor diesel prices for haul trucks and mobile equipment. Fuel is a major cost driver for mining operations.

Food & Beverage

Track natural gas for heating, drying, and processing. Monitor diesel for distribution fleet costs.

Pulp & Paper

Track natural gas for drying and steam generation. Energy is 15-25% of production costs.

Simple API Integration

Pull energy prices into your procurement systems and dashboards

# Python example: Energy cost tracking
from oilpriceapi import OilPriceAPI

client = OilPriceAPI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Get all energy prices for procurement dashboard
prices = client.prices.latest()

print(f"Natural Gas (Henry Hub): $" + str(prices.henry_hub) + "/MMBtu")
print(f"Natural Gas (TTF): EUR " + str(prices.ttf) + "/MWh")
print(f"Diesel: $" + str(prices.diesel) + "/gallon")
print(f"Coal (Newcastle): $" + str(prices.coal) + "/ton")

# Historical data for budget variance analysis
historical = client.prices.historical(
    commodity="henry_hub",
    start="2024-01-01",
    end="2024-12-31"
)

# Calculate monthly averages for budgeting
monthly_avg = historical.resample('M').mean()
avg_price = round(monthly_avg.price.mean(), 2)
print(f"Average 2024 gas price: $" + str(avg_price) + "/MMBtu")
