Purchasing strategy: the essentials
A purchasing strategy defines when, how and in what quantities to buy your electricity, according to your consumption profile and risk tolerance. It replaces signing at the day's price with a schedule defined in advance.
Who is it for, and for what uses?
It concerns organisations whose electricity bill weighs on the budget and whose contract is coming up for renewal. Since ARENH (the regulated access scheme to historical nuclear electricity) ended on 1 January 2026, purchase timing and offer structure matter more.
What it changes for you
You have costed scenarios, market monitoring and a quarterly review. Your purchasing decisions follow a framework defined in advance, which you can share with your finance director or accountant.
Our solution
A purchasing strategy relies on three components:
| Criterion | With Eneffic |
|---|---|
| Market monitoring | Continuous tracking of prices relevant to your purchases |
| Costed scenarios | Costing of offer structures according to your risks |
| Quarterly review | Review each quarter and adjustment of the schedule |
Thomas's take, our expert
The right question is not "what is the best price today" but "which purchasing schedule protects me best". We answer it with costed scenarios, not with a bet.
