Market Tracker explained
Market Tracker
The Market Tracker contract follows the pulse of wholesale energy prices, giving you a market-reflective rate for the energy you use each month. This is an excellent choice for a business who wishes to benefit from dynamic prices, shorter-term contracts and more flexibility.
Unlock new energy prices with Mid-Term Review
Want to fix your energy costs but don’t want to miss out if wholesale prices start to fall?
With Mid-Term Review, you now have the option to request and secure new prices prior to the midpoint of your contract. So, if the energy market experiences a downturn, you could take advantage of updated prices.
If you don’t secure new prices following a price review, your original contract will continue without any changes. It's all about giving you more control and potential savings.
Mid Term Review is available with our Fixed Certainty contract for power and gas.
Energy trading, made easy
Flex Portfolio Solutions is the easy way to explore into the complex wholesale energy market. With the help of our experienced Portfolio Managers, together we can create an energy buying strategy that minimises potential risk and enables you to take advantage of any dips in prices.
Your Portfolio Manager will trade on your behalf, following the agreed strategy, so you won’t need to always keep up to date with the constant fluctuations of the market. We will keep you well informed with frequent market updates, risk reviews and performance reports.
It’s the perfect way to familiarise yourself with the technicalities of energy hedging, without taking on more than you can handle.
With net zero on the horizon, finding ways to reduce your emissions is more important than ever, which is why many UK businesses are opting for carbon-free supply.
Our UK Business Renewable energy provides independently verified sustainable power that’s fully compliant for zero-carbon GHG Scope 2 market-based reporting.
REGO Backed Renewable Energy
With our UK Business Renewable, you can reduce your carbon footprint, meet your environmental goals, and report zero emissions in your Scope 2 reporting. UK Business Renewable Energy is generated from renewable sources in the UK, backed by REGOs.
How do REGO certificates work?
Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates provide evidence that a specific amount of electricity has been generated from renewable sources.
We match the power you consume by securing the corresponding number of REGO certificates, which are usually issued for each megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable generation fed into the UK electricity system.
Benefits
- 100% renewable energy generated in the UK
- Fully compliant with WRI GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance
- EcoAct assurance stamp provides peace of mind that our products and processes are robust and compliant
- Report zero-carbon emissions without any requirement for additional evidence
- Renewable Energy Label to display on your site
- Available with our fixed or flexible purchasing contracts
EcoAct assurance
The EcoAct assurance stamp gives you confidence that your supply is robustly backed by a sufficient amount of REGOs (from UK generation only) and can therefore be reported as zero-carbon emissions power. EcoAct carries out annual audits of our UK renewable products.
Renewable Energy Label
We will provide you with a Renewable Energy Label which you can display on your site to demonstrate your commitment to renewable energy.
