How the service works

In a fixed strategy, your total energy requirement is bought in a single transaction. The most important factor in achieving a competitive price is timing.

To make sure we fix at an optimum time, the fixed strategy has two key features:

First, the placement of energy is informed by our team of trading analysts who are tracking market activity in real time all day whilst energy wholesale markets are open.

Second, the tender process has already taken place, so once a signal to buy is received from our analysts we can immediately place the volume with our suppliers. This means the Fixed Strategy is price focused as opposed to process focused.

if you would like more information about the process we have followed to select our suppliers please refer to our Fixed Strategy Supplement.

Who is the fixed strategy service for?

The Fixed Strategy is for organisations with price certainty as their main energy procurement priority; that is they cannot tolerate any movement up or down from the price provided. Organisations looking to further optimise their price, or simply to budget to an upper price may wish to consider our Protection or Optimisation strategies.

“In order to invoice my tenants I need to know what the energy bill is going to be exactly with no room for change up or down, so I can invoice accurately"
