Utility Contracts
Energy and utility costs represent a significant operating expense. A proactive procurement strategy – often called energy procurement – involves sourcing energy from third‑party suppliers and selecting contract structures that balance cost and risk.
What we do
- Contract review – Analyse existing electricity, gas and water contracts to identify hidden charges, unfavourable clauses and renewal opportunities.
- Market analysis – Monitor wholesale energy markets and regulatory changes to advise on timing and contract type (fixed, indexed, block and index).
- Supplier negotiation – Manage tendering processes, evaluate supplier offers and negotiate favourable terms, including price components, billing arrangements and contractual flexibility.
- Risk management – Develop hedging strategies to minimise exposure to price volatility; advise on green tariffs and renewable energy purchase agreements.
- Regulatory compliance – Ensure contracts comply with Irish energy market regulations and support clients in submitting required documentation.
Benefits
- Improved budget predictability and reduced energy costs through competitive procurement.
- Reduced risk of hidden fees or contractual penalties.
- Access to expertise on market trends, regulatory requirements and renewable energy options.
