Find budget stability in a volatile energy market with our Corporate Fixed Procurement Solutions
The energy market is highly volatile, with ever-changing wholesale and non-commodity costs. As a result, many businesses prefer an energy contract that is simpler than a flexible deal and will aid budget certainty and financial planning.
Having a fixed corporate energy contract helps give businesses budget security by setting costs for the duration of their agreement. It’s important to understand whether all your costs are fully fixed; not all non-commodity charges are fixed within a fixed price contact.
