Energy and Natural Resources

The sector is migrating to ACL and renewables. Commercial management still operates as if contracts were static.

Utilities that integrate PPA, non-technical losses and field ops reduce OPEX by 20–25%. But most operate curtailment, O&M and commercial portfolios in silos. Bunker connects concession, asset and contract with Bunker Protocol, Salesforce and AI.

The silent risk in energy

Up to 40% of distributed electricity is lost before reaching the customer. Does your operation know exactly where?

When commercial, operations and service run on separate systems, every decision happens without context. Contracts expire without renegotiation, assets operate without visibility and margin dissolves into losses no one consolidates.

The real scenario

Four fractures that erode margin with every contract renewed without context

Contracts are long-term with dozens of adjustment clauses, and no one knows when what expires. Commercial closes without visibility into the cost to serve, and operations complains we sell poorly. Every PPA renegotiated late is margin that dissolves through the indexer.

01

Inaccurate demand forecasting

Without advanced predictive models, error in energy demand forecasting reaches 39%. Each percentage point of deviation represents invisible operational cost and reactive decisions.

Wen et al. / Scientific Reports-Nature 2024
02

Poor-quality corporate data

Between 15% and 25% of revenue is lost due to inconsistent data across asset, contract and operations systems. Any decision that depends on that data inherits the error.

Redman / MIT Sloan 2017
03

Contracts without traceability

Long-term contracts with adjustment clauses, SLA and penalty terms live in spreadsheets and emails. Renegotiations happen too late, and margin-protection opportunities are missed.

04

Productivity without data guidance

Operations that do not use structured data for decision-making lose between 5% and 6% in productivity. At energy scale, that translates to millions per quarter.

Bunker

We understand the difference between the free and regulated markets: and where PPA portfolio management disconnects from operations.

The contract portfolio lives in spreadsheets with IGP-M and IPCA adjustments that no one consolidates. Non-technical losses erode revenue the commercial team cannot even see. Curtailment generates lost revenue with no traceability. Bunker Protocol connects commercial, operations and service in a single architecture: with ACL/ACR contract governance, cost-to-serve visibility by asset and integrated management of maturities and indexers.

We don't sell CRM. We design the operation that turns portfolio management into traceable revenue by contract.

  • +300 CRM projects: including energy operations with long-term contract management
  • +120K users impacted, from trading to asset operations
  • Commercial governance deployed in 8 countries with sector regulatory compliance
  • Direct experience with generators, traders and utilities

Bunker Protocol applied to Energy

Four phases. One architecture. Auditable results.

Phase 01

Structural Diagnosis

Trading, asset operations and service run in silos: each with its own system and its own version of the truth. We map where the disconnect between contract, dispatch and customer management drains margin and exposes the operation to regulatory risk.

Outcomes
  • Diagnosis of flows between trading, asset operations and service
  • Quantification of the impact of each disconnect on margin and regulatory exposure
  • Roadmap prioritized by revenue recovery and risk mitigation
Phase 02

Prioritization Architecture

Salesforce connects to SCADA, ERP and trading platforms. The view integrates long-term contracts, asset operations and customer relationships: without the commercial team depending on dispatch for context.

Outcomes
  • Salesforce integrated with ERP, SCADA and trading platforms (CCEE)
  • Unified view of contract, asset, customer and contractual exposure
  • Automated journeys for origination, contract management and service
Phase 03

Tailored Engagement

Agentforce monitors PPA maturities, alerts on load deviations, prioritizes accounts by ACL migration potential and generates briefings for the commercial team. Regulatory compliance embedded in every recommendation.

Outcomes
  • PPA maturity alerts and renegotiation or migration opportunities
  • Portfolio prioritization by ACL migration potential and contribution margin
  • Continuous monitoring of contractual exposure with regulatory guardrails
Phase 04

Outcomes and Transfer

Governance across trading, operations and service with performance dashboards by contract, asset and channel. The commercial-regulatory team operates the platform and evolves autonomously.

Outcomes
  • Performance dashboards by PPA, asset and trading channel
  • Review cadence across trading, operations and regulatory compliance
  • Commercial and regulatory team autonomous in platform operations

Transformation

From a contract portfolio in spreadsheets to integrated management by asset and indexer

Without Bunker

Each contract as a black box

  • Commercial and operations with separate data and conflicting versions of the truth
  • Long-term contracts with no traceability of clauses and maturities
  • Demand forecasting based on historical data without a predictive model
  • Service without visibility into the customer's commercial and operational history
  • Executive decisions based on manual, delayed reports

With Bunker

Portfolio, asset and operations in a consolidated view

  • Single view of account, contract and asset across commercial and operations
  • Contract governance with maturity and renegotiation alerts
  • Demand forecasting with analytical models integrated into CRM
  • Service connected to CRM with prioritization by criticality and value
  • AI applied to daily routines with alerts, summaries and action recommendations

Every PPA renegotiated too late is margin lost to an indexer that has already run.

The first step is a portfolio and operations diagnosis. No CRM generalism, no ignoring regulatory complexity. We map where your operation loses margin between contract, asset and cost to serve.

Frequently asked questions

Answers for Energy and Natural Resources

01 Do you understand the difference between ACL, ACR and the regulatory complexity of the sector? Expand

We are not a regulatory consultancy, but we design the operation knowing that an energy contract is not a standard contract. The architecture covers PPA, load, market migration and CCEE obligations. Regulatory compliance is embedded in the flows - not in parallel layers.

02 Do you integrate with SCADA, CCEE and trading platforms? Expand

We integrate Salesforce with ERP, SCADA and trading platforms so the commercial team negotiates with visibility into assets, contracts and exposure. Dispatch, generation and PPA maturity data connect with pipeline and service.

03 Does the protocol apply to generators, traders or distributors? Expand

It applies to any player that needs to connect commercial operations and contract management. The diagnosis identifies the specific bottlenecks of the business model - generation, trading or distribution - and the architecture is designed to fit.
