- W790701837 abstract "This article explains the principles of Energy Price Risk Management (EPRM), which can be used to create fuel price certainty for transit agencies. For transit agencies using diesel fuel, the commodity market is heating oil futures. Two important commodity market concepts are the spot price (current market cost) and the futures price, which can be a forecast weeks or even years in advance. When forward prices are lower than spot prices, a transit agency can “lock in” a price for future fuel needs. If markets are going up, it is cause to hedge more. If prices are very low, locking in also makes sense. The challenge is to balance between the two and find an acceptable average price. Certainty in fuel prices has a value because it enables more accurate planning. The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) in North Carolina began using EPRM when fuel prices began to rise in the summer of 2008. The agency looked for price protection, unlimited supply, and budget stability. It budgeted $2.45 a gallon and can lock in at about $1.75 a gallon for any of the estimated 3.5 million gallons required in one year. The length of time an agency locks in prices is another factor. Other agencies’ experiences are discussed, including those of the Topeka Metropolitan Transit Authority in Kansas." @default.
