How to get more buying control if you spend more than £80k a year

close×

It involves much more work than simply finding the best-fixed price contract, but it allows you to buy energy when you want to and not just when your contract renews. This might be:

When prices fall and you want to lock in a ‘win’.
When prices rise and you want to reduce the risk of further rises.
To allow you to buy little and often to smooth out the peaks and troughs of the energy markets.

Although more complex, it gives you more flexibility and control over your energy purchasing.

Other key benefits of flexible-price contracts include:

Transparency: unlike fixed prices that are unique to your business, all flexible contracts are based on the published price.
If you change your usage to avoid the most expensive times of day you’ll save money straight away.
The potential for lower cost: in order to guarantee a price for your electricity or gas in the face of shifting markets, suppliers add a risk margin to fixed prices. Flexible contracts remove that risk to suppliers and therefore the risk margin.

We place flexible contracts with suppliers every day and use our buying power to get the lowest possible supplier management fees – a key negotiable cost with this type of contract. The devil is very much in the detail and we ensure there are no hidden surprises and explain the pros and cons of any offer.
