Buying Energy
Energy contracts that empower you to shape your ideal strategy
Every business will have a different set of priorities when it comes to energy purchasing. Whatever your strategy or objectives, we have the right contract to get you there.
Effective energy purchasing
Energy is often a major business overhead, accounting for a large proportion of overall running costs. So being able to create a purchasing strategy to fit your requirements and risk appetite is crucial.
We offer a range of contracts that can enable you to buy electricity or gas on a fixed or flexible basis, with options to tailor elements to suit your business including renewable electricity and carbon off-setting for gas.
We also work with reputable energy consultants and brokers to provide supply contracts and other relevant services for business customers.
Fixed energy contracts
When transparency and a straightforward approach are key priorities, consider buying energy via a fixed contract.
Our Fixed range provides an easy and transparent way to secure your electricity and gas supply at a pre-agreed rate for up to five years. But you can still choose how to pay for the non-commodity elements that make up a sizable share of your total invoice. You can also opt for renewable supply.
Flexible energy contracts
The energy market is notoriously volatile, which provides risks as well as opportunities.
Our range of flexible contracts enables you to spread purchasing decisions throughout the year, leaving you less vulnerable to market peaks and better placed to take advantage of lower prices. They are suitable if your business consumes 1GWh or more of gas or electricity each year.
Specialist options for energy consultants
In addition to our range of fixed and flexible contracts, we also offer dedicated support and specialist contract options to meet the needs of energy consultants who are managing a portfolio of customers.
