Procurement
Flexible Energy Procurement
A smarter way to buy your energy
Flexible electricity and gas procurement spreads your buying decisions over time — reducing risk, capturing value when markets fall, and protecting your budget when they rise.
Because energy market prices move constantly, shaped by weather, policy, geopolitics and demand, that flexibility really counts.
We define a buying strategy that works for your business — then track the market and buy your energy the way you want to buy it.
Is flexible procurement right for you?
Flexible procurement is ideal for energy-intensive organisations and large estates.
For smaller estates, our flexible basket arrangement lets you access the same strategic approach through collective purchasing.
Not sure if flexible procurement fits your energy profile? Book a discovery call, and we’ll assess your options.
Why it matters
-
Spread the risk
Buy in tranches, not all at once. You avoid locking in at the wrong moment.
-
Protect your budget
Set a maximum spend you won’t exceed, while keeping the freedom to benefit when the market falls.
-
Avoid risk premiums
Fixed contracts add in supplier risk premiums. A flexible strategy strips them out.
How it works
- 01
Discovery workshop
We start by understanding your consumption profile, risk appetite, budget needs and sustainability goals. You also decide how hands-on you want to be — autonomous, authorised, or a hybrid approach.
- 02
Risk strategy agreed
Based on discovery, we define a risk-managed procurement strategy aligned to needs. Together, we set budget thresholds, trading schedules, trigger points and authorisation preferences.
- 03
Strategy execution
Using live market data, fundamentals, sentiment and technical analysis tools, we monitor markets continuously and execute trades on your behalf.
- 04
Review and refine
Regular updates keep your strategy aligned to market conditions and business needs. Monthly position reports, transaction confirmations, and market intelligence reports as standard.
Green energy options
-
REGOs & RGGOs
Match your electricity and gas consumption with verified renewable generation. Support compliance, strengthen reporting and demonstrate clear environmental action without changing how your energy is delivered.
-
HH-Matching
For deeper alignment between your consumption and renewable generation, half-hourly matching pairs your usage with green generation on a half-hourly basis. A more transparent way to evidence renewable sourcing.
-
CPPA alignment
Already have a corporate power purchase agreement, or considering one? We align your wider buying strategy around it so the two work together rather than against each other.
Frequently asked questions
When should I start thinking about renewal?
As early as possible. A longer runway means a wider buying window and more chances to buy well, which is where flexible procurement earns its keep.
Can you guarantee my energy price?
No, and anyone who says otherwise is overselling. What we can do is set a maximum spend you will not exceed, and manage the strategy so you benefit when the market falls.
What level of market exposure suits us?
That is exactly what the discovery workshop establishes — your consumption profile, your budget tolerance and how much decision-making you want to keep in-house.
What tools do you use to monitor the market?
Live market data, fundamentals, sentiment and technical analysis, run through our dedicated trading desk with direct wholesale pricing.
