Coal Sales and Marketing

Market Segments and Focus

Enserco Energy participates in financial and physical coal markets, primarily focused in coal basins west of the Mississippi River. Employing an entrepreneurial culture, with over 110 years of combined experience, we source, supply, transport, store and convert physical coal commodities as well as trade in the financial markets for our growing customer base.

Our emerging market presence spans the physical coal supply chain from sourcing, storage and delivery, where we can leverage extensive experience and partnering arrangements to identifiy ways to support customer needs in meeting the challenges facing the physical markets. We are rapidly becoming the supplier of choice for those individuals and utilities seeking superior delivery performance.

We maintain long-term supply positions from multiple sources in mulitple basins, incluing the Powder River and Uinta Basins that moves Enserco away from a traditional merchant participant and closer to a primary supplier with excellent sourcing flexibility for added security of supply.
