Energy marketing
Great River Energy is a member-owner of ACES, a nationwide energy management company. ACES transacts several billion dollars annually on behalf of its clients, who operate in nearly every wholesale electric market region of the US and have a collective portfolio of approximately 47,000 megawatts of both load and resources.
Providing services “as agent,” ACES represents its clients in the marketplace, working to manage energy risk. Because ACES does not buy or sell energy on its own behalf, it avoids conflicts of interest and ensures consistent and complete alignment with the best interests of the organizations it serves.
