NUS Consulting Group, the world's leading provider of energy management solutions to businesses and energy intensive organizations, announced today that it has acquired Viking Energy Management, L.L.C., a private company, specializing in risk management and energy procurement. Viking Energy Management is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Today's increased economic uncertainty, energy price volatility and developing carbon emissions regulations are forcing businesses to change the way they think about sourcing and managing their energy requirements. To meet this challenge and minimize its potential impact on profitability, businesses are reassessing their risk management and sourcing processes as well as creating and implementing sustainability and carbon reporting programs," said Richard D. Soultanian, Co-President of NUS Consulting Group. The acquisition of Viking Energy Management will not only complement NUS Consulting Group's existing staff and services, but will also provide us with a strong and experienced energy trading and risk management team which will broaden our existing service offerings in this extremely important area. I am very pleased that Viking has agreed to join and become part of NUS Consulting Group."
