When is the best time to review your energy procurement strategy?
When the market becomes volatile?
Six months before your contract renewal?
For me, the answer is neither.
The best businesses are reviewing their options continuously, not just when a contract is approaching its end date.
Energy procurement isn't simply about securing a price. It's about understanding:
✅ Market movements and future risks
✅ Supplier performance and service levels
✅ Contract terms and conditions
✅ Alignment with wider business objectives
Making informed procurement decisions takes time, expertise, and a clear understanding of what your business is trying to achieve.
A well-planned strategy helps protect budgets, improve visibility of future costs, and reduces the likelihood of unexpected issues further down the line.
At Stratagem Energy Consulting, we work closely with clients to take a deeper look at their energy portfolio. We help identify cost optimisation opportunities, review contractual risks, and provide clear, evidence-based advice so businesses can make confident decisions.
If you'd like to discuss your energy strategy or simply have a question, feel free to send me a message.
I founded Stratagem after having worked with energy suppliers and consultants for 20 years that I wanted to build something different.
