In 2002, Assofond created the Assofond Energia consortium, to which all associated foundries can join. The consortium aggregates the demand for electricity and/or gas by purchasing the supply for all consortium members from year to year. The aggregation of purchased volumes makes it possible to obtain favorable market conditions and, through purchase portfolio management, to minimize the risk of price volatility.
