Abstract: | Electric utility deregulation introduces new risks for businesses that consume a lot of electricity. CPAs can help clients avoid a shock by steering them toward an energy risk management program. To limit the risk of spiking electric power prices, companies can employ strategies similar to those used to tame the price volatility of energy commodities such as oil or natural gas. |
