Wholesale Energy Procurement

Currently, most contracts are traded through a traditional tender process in the Retail Market, providing fixed price, fixed term contracts, but this is not the future of energy procurement. More and more companies are following the lead of large industries and are looking to Quantum Energy Limited to trade contracts direct within the more flexible Wholesale Market sector.

Portfolio options for companies generally with an annual spend of less than £1m or Bespoke contracts for larger companies hold the key to offer significant benefits through the management of risk in the volatile energy market.


Market Strategy

Flexible market strategies are risk dependant. Suppliers apply "risk management" premiums to all contracts to cover the risk inherent in the requirement to "balance" individual site loads on an ongoing basis. Working with Suppliers to provide a "robust" demand profile reduces Supplier risk (and hence risk premium) and we are able to pass on those savings in reduced supplier account management charges to our clients.

A Virtual Cap model, which is a trading strategy, is currently being applied to both portfolio and bespoke contracts in view of the recent fall in prices brought about by difficult economic conditions.
