Purchasing Strategies

A wealth of experience in flexible energy purchasing

Independent Utility Advice can not only offer bespoke flexible solutions but provide clarity and true value for money on existing flexible arrangements.

There are numerous issues we have identified with existing flexible purchasing arrangements such as:

• Poor purchasing strategy costing businesses money
• Hidden commissions built into the delivered unit price or management fee
• ‘Basket’ arrangement giving zero customer flexibility or involvement

We have recently identified a customer where their broker is purchasing energy entirely on the day ahead market, with zero advanced purchasing strategy, meaning the customer was subjected to monthly increases in-line with the increasing market costs. We have managed to take over the management of the flexible purchasing with the supplier, at the customer request, and have delivered savings of almost £500,000 in the first 3 months of trading.
