THE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY

Your energy contract is only part of the picture.

Your electricity costs are influenced by more than the price you pay for each unit of energy. We look at your current contract, consumption profile, energy requirements and future plans to help you understand your wider commercial position.

01

Understand your current position

Review your existing energy arrangements, consumption and contract position.

02

Look beyond the unit rate

Consider the wider structure of your energy costs and how your business uses electricity.

03

Plan around future demand

Consider changes such as expansion, electrification, EV charging, solar and battery storage.

04

Explore your options

Understand the procurement routes that may be available and how they could fit your business.

Start with your energy position. Then consider what could make sense for your business.
UNDERSTAND YOUR ENERGY POSITION

Before you choose a route, understand where you are.

A better procurement decision starts with a clear view of your current energy position. We look at how your business uses electricity, where your current contract sits and what could change in the future.

01

Usage

Understand how much electricity your business uses and when that demand occurs.

02

Contract

Review your current energy arrangements, contract position and relevant renewal considerations.

03

Costs

Look beyond the headline unit rate and understand the wider commercial picture around your electricity costs.

04

Future Demand

Consider changes such as expansion, electrification, EV charging, solar and battery storage.

05

Options

Bring the information together to understand which procurement routes could be relevant to your business.

Don't start with a tariff. Start with your energy position.

Once the wider picture is understood, it becomes easier to compare procurement options against the actual requirements of your business.

PROCUREMENT OPTIONS

Different businesses. Different procurement routes.

There isn't one procurement approach that works for every business. We help you understand the routes that may be available and how they could fit your current position, future requirements and wider energy strategy.

01
CONTRACT ROUTE

Fixed-Term Contracts

A defined contract period can provide a clear structure for your electricity supply and help your business plan around an agreed procurement arrangement.

Other Suitable Routes

Depending on the business, contract position and procurement requirements, other commercial arrangements may also be considered where appropriate.

Subject to requirements
The right route depends on your business.

We don't assume that one procurement structure is right for everyone. We look at your current position, energy requirements and future plans before helping you compare the available options.

ENERGY + TECHNOLOGY

Procurement shouldn't happen in isolation.

The way your business buys electricity can connect directly with the wider energy decisions you may make. We look at procurement alongside solar, battery storage, EV charging and future energy requirements.

SOLENLY · THE WIDER ENERGY PICTURE

Your electricity strategy should support where your business is going.

A procurement decision made today can sit alongside other energy decisions your business may make over time. Looking at the wider picture can help you understand how those decisions fit together.

01

Electricity supply

Understand your current electricity position and how procurement could fit your business requirements.

02

Solar generation

Consider how generating electricity on site could affect your future energy requirements and procurement strategy.

03

Battery storage

Assess whether storage could complement changing energy demand and provide additional flexibility for the site.

04

EV charging

Consider how vehicle electrification and charging could affect future electricity demand.

Look at the whole energy picture. Procurement is one part of a wider energy strategy for your business.
THE COMMERCIAL ASSESSMENT

The right energy strategy starts with the numbers.

Your energy strategy should reflect how your business actually operates. We look at the factors that can influence your current position, future requirements and the commercial routes available.
