Energy procurement FAQs

Common questions about business energy procurement strategies.

What is the difference between fixed and flexible energy procurement?

A fixed-price contract locks in your unit rate for the contract term, giving cost certainty. Flexible procurement allows you to purchase energy in tranches at different times, potentially benefiting from market dips — but with more exposure to price movements.

When is the best time to procure energy?

There's no single 'best time' — wholesale energy prices are influenced by many factors. We monitor the market and advise on timing, helping you avoid procuring at market peaks where possible.

What size of business benefits from strategic procurement?

Any business with an annual energy spend above approximately £50,000 typically benefits from a more structured procurement approach. Below this threshold, a straightforward fixed-price comparison usually delivers the best outcome.

Do you manage the procurement process end to end?

Yes. We handle everything from initial audit through to contract signature and ongoing management. You retain full visibility and control at every stage, but we do all the legwork.
