Fixed energy purchasing
Fixed: Certainty
An all-inclusive power or gas contract that’s simple, predictable and transparent. It gives you maximum budget certainty as this contract fixes the pricing for both the commodity (fuel) and key non-commodity elements (key third party AND government charges) of your invoice. You can manage your account easily, supported by a dedicated Account Manager.
Fixed: Choice
A bespoke electricity contract, where you agree a fixed unit price for your electricity and then work with your Account Manager to set your selection of key non-commodity costs to either a fixed constant rate or to ‘at cost’ pass-through. The end result is an electricity contract where we guarantee to never reconcile any of the costs that we have agreed are fixed, whilst retaining the benefits of paying ‘at cost' for the remaining passed-through non-commodity costs.
Fixed: Commodity
A gas or electricity contract that combines the simplicity of a fixed commodity price with the potential for savings on the non-commodity elements as you pay the ‘at cost’ option for all non-commodity charges. Energy prices can be volatile , so securing them upfront at the start of a supply contract can help you to better forecast and remain within your budget. We now offer contracts of between one and five years in length, enabling you to increase cost certainty for longer, if preferred. But if you are still willing to risk some predictability in return for potentially cheaper overall costs, then Fixed: Commodity may provide the solution.
Select and Secure
