Most state and local governments (including transit agencies, airports, ISDs) must operate against a budget, but all are finding it increasingly more difficult to do this in the face of highly volatile fuel markets.

While hedging tools do not lower your cost of fuel buying, the process serves to reduce, if not eliminate, the risk of price fluctuations. Buy the fuel in the most cost effective manner through pooled purchases and then use our hedging tools to lock in your reduced price. Hedging is NOT speculating, but rather serves to ensure your government agency is not subjected to the risk of price fluctuations.

Our new DEPO Energy Group, headed by 20-year veterans who have served the transit industry, various refiners, jobbers and suppliers and even an OPEC member nation, as their fuel buying and selling strategists can help even the least sophisticated bulk fuel buyers to become very sophisticated and the more sophisticated buyers to become experts. The hedging tool is most useful and effective for governmental agencies that purchase over 2.9 million gallons of fuel per year but might be possible for agencies that purchase less if combined with other buyers. Call and let us help.

New hedging tools will be embedded in our software in the near future, but is fully available to you now by clicking here: energygroup@depo.org.
