- Shipley Energy advises fuel resellers and end users on managing risks in volatile wholesale fuel markets as of May 2025.

- Supply chain mitigation strategies include maintaining strategic reserves covering 10 days of demand, diversifying suppliers, working with wholesalers having established redundancies, and managing inventory to reduce holding periods.
- Applying fixed price or price cap programs can stabilize fuel budgets for end users, but careful market-structure alignment is necessary to avoid losses amid local price volatility.
