Energy Procurement
Minimise your energy costs with our range of business energy procurement services. We will help you identify and implement the right energy procurement strategy to support your business and sustainability objectives.
Energy Procurement Services are ideal for businesses seeking to minimise their energy costs and advance their Net Zero pathway. If your organisation uses more than 1GWh of electricity or gas we can help you build and execute the right energy procurement strategy for your energy and business objectives. We offer fixed, flexible, and basket procurement and have an extensive supplier portfolio.
Which one is best for me...?
1. Fixed
Fixed energy procurement service gives you a set unit rate, providing budget certainty and peace of mind. With this service, your business can avoid market price fluctuations and enjoy price stability. Using our proprietary eAuction platform, we invite up to 46* suppliers to bid for your contract. The competitive process will give you the best possible price, and the eAuction platform makes the tendering process transparent.
2. Flexible
Flexible energy procurement service will help you minimise your energy costs by combining market intelligence and the expertise of our Risk and Trading team to help you take advantage of market volatility. We will work with you to create a bespoke flexible procurement strategy, factoring in your organisations energy objectives and risk appetite. Then, utilising real-time market trends and analytics, we will procure your energy in tranches so that you react quickly to dips in the market and minimise your energy costs across the length of your energy contract.
3. Basket
Basket energy procurement service offers organisations with an annual energy consumption of between 1GWh and 10Gwh the opportunity to group with other organisations to maximise their buying power through economies of scale. By pooling their energy consumption, organisations can enjoy the commercial benefits of a flexible purchasing strategy whilst maintaining budget certainty via pre-agreed price caps. We offer two flexible procurement strategies, Purchase in Advance and Purchase within Period, giving you the choice of what works best for your organisation's objectives and risk appetite.
Energy Bureau Services
Energy Bureau Services will give you the information, knowledge, and support to proactively manage your energy strategy and help realise your organisations energy objectives.
Planning is crucial to delivering a successful energy strategy, that's why we work with you to develop robust annual energy budgets for your entire portfolio using a range of metrics to predict consumption volumes. We also work with you to develop forecasts for up to five years ahead, based on future energy costs and your business and energy objectives. This service allows you to budget for future energy costs confidently.
Energy Client Services
Our Energy Client Services are designed for businesses looking for expertise in the execution of energy management. Whether you're looking to optimise your energy supply capacity through kVA analysis, proactively manage the energy consumption of your portfolio, manage supplier queries or handle new connections, we're here to help.
1. kVA Analysis
Ensuring you have the right kV allowance for your organisation is important, as suppliers can impose fines if you exceed them. Our team can carry out kVA analysis for every meter in your portfolio, analysing your energy usage patterns against the agreed allowance. If you want to increase your kV allowance, we will work with the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) to increase your supply capacity.
2. Portfolio Management
Ensuring your portfolio is up to date and you're only paying for the energy used by sites within it can be a time consuming job. That is why we offer a dedicated portfolio management service, to allow you to focus on other areas of your organisation. Our team will look after site additions and removals, supplier objections, and occupancy changes. You will receive a monthly report detailing the status of every meter in your portfolio.
3. Query Management
Our dedicated Client Services team will handle any queries arising through the implementation and ongoing management of your energy strategy, offering quick, accurate resolutions. Whether it's a supplier objecting to a site switching to another supplier, a supplier losing connection with the AMR so a manual reading is required, or a supplier not updating the occupier details of a new addition. Our client services team will resolve these queries efficiently, keeping you updated through your preferred communication channel.
4. New Connections
We can help you establish new energy connections, whether you're setting up a new operation or upgrading existing infrastructure. We have years of experience managing simple and complex new connection projects and our Client Services team will manage the process from start to finish. Once we have your requirements, we will work with the relevant DNO to get the project started. We will handle the complex logistics and compliance, making your transition smooth and stress-free.
Net Zero Consultancy
1. Baselining
To develop a Net Zero pathway, you first need to understand your organisation's Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Using industry-leading technology, our expert team of Sustainability Consultants will work with you to map your carbon emissions against the different scopes, giving you a complete picture of your carbon footprint for each scope.
This baseline then gives you a point to report all progress against as you move along your Net Zero pathway.
2. Pathway design
Understand that every organisation is unique, and therefore your Net Zero pathway will be bespoke to you. That is why our team of Sustainability Consultants works with you to understand your current carbon footprint, your organisation's business objectives, and your Net Zero goals.
Understanding all of this is critical to developing a plan that makes your organisation more sustainable, both environmentally and financially. Our Net Zero pathways come with financial breakdowns, showing both the investment required and the potential Return on Investment.
3. Pathway execution
As part of DCC plc, we are uniquely placed to help organisations take the first or next step on their Net Zero pathway. As well as the solutions we offer, we work with our sister companies to deliver other carbon reduction solutions such as on-site generation, solar PV, heat pumps, HVAC optimisation, and alternative renewable fuel sources such as HVO.
You will have a dedicated Client Management team who will manage all the projects centrally, with each company delivering their part of the pathway. This unique approach means that you have a central team coordinating your Net Zero pathway, reducing the complexity for you.
4. Compliance
Whether it is ESOS, SECR, GHG reporting, or specific industry legislation, such as CSRD and CBAM, our team will take the pain away and ensure that your organisation meets the required deadlines and avoids unwanted penalties and fines.
Our team will provide guidance and support to you throughout the process, removing the complexity and ensuring you meet the required criteria. We have worked with businesses across multiple industries, helping them remain compliant and protecting their brand reputation in the process.
