MultiPurchase for power and gas
A simple, fixed term, energy contract for electricity and gas, allowing you to split your contract into multiple purchases. With MultiPurchase they can fix their energy prices at points throughout the contract term to limit the risk of market fluctuations but benefit when prices fall.
How they split their contract is up to them. Additionally, MultiPurchase includes a range of benefits, including invoicing and expert support.
Flex Streamline for power and gas
This option provides complete flexibility around how you purchase energy on behalf of your customers, with full support from our market-leading Optimisation Desk. Consumption that falls outside standard base and peak-load blocks is covered by a pre-agreed shape premia. A forecasted invoicing rate is set to aid invoice validation, with a monthly reconciliation to ensure your customers accurately pay for their final purchase price.
Fast Flex for power
All the benefits of Flex Streamline but with the removal of a pre-agreed invoicing rate and monthly reconciliations. Instead, each monthly invoice shows exactly what is transacted.
Flex Innovate for power and gas
A contract designed for more sophisticated energy buyers, with all the usual benefits of flexible purchasing but allowing them to pay a published index price for any difference between their tradable blocks and their actual consumption. This means shape is transparently priced and there is no requirement for contractual volume tolerances, since your customer pays for exactly what they use.
Unlock new business 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 for your gas and electricity.

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 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
- SE Advisory Services assurance stamp provides peace of mind that our products and processes are robust and compliant

- Renewable Energy Label to display on your site
- Available with our fixed or flexible purchasing contracts
SE Advisory Services assurance
The SE Advisory Services 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. SE Advisory Services carries out annual audits of our UK renewable products.
