Chamber Utilities - save on gas, water and electricity

Businesses need to save money. As utility costs are becoming a larger proportion of overheads, more and more managers are looking for ways to reduce them.

Save even more with collective purchasing

ENER-G Procurement offers a range of collective purchasing products to enable businesses of any size to combine their energy volumes and purchase on the live wholesale market:

• ENER-G Gas Collective
• ENER-G Electricity Collective (Half Hourly and Non Half Hourly)

Combine energy volumes to buy flexibly and increase purchasing power

The advantages of collective purchasing

• The opportunity to benefit from flexible buying, without any administrative burden
• Access to more competitive contracts

By monitoring live energy market prices and purchasing flexibly throughout the contract, we buy your energy “little and often”, spreading the purchasing risk and helping you benefit from market price dips.

Why buy flexibly?

Although traditional fixed price contracts offer the advantage of budget certainty, they can also turn out to be poor value for money for two key reasons:

• The buyer has to lock into a market price at a single point in time
• The premiums charged by suppliers for providing a fixed contract can be substantial.

Organisations with large energy volumes have the benefit of purchasing their energy flexibly: buying chunks of consumption over a period of time to take advantage of market dips and avoid costly price spikes
