Unlike traditional energy brokering firms, Choice Energy is able to offer a bespoke procurement experience with your own dedicated account manager. Energy brokering with us is a simple, straightforward approach that takes the pain out of reducing costs, and puts the power back in your hands with expert advice and industry knowledge.
Here’s how we do it.
Unlock the jargon, and challenge providers to offer their best
Business energy bills are extremely different to residential bills, and are calculated in extremely different ways. This is because the requirement for energy (known often as “energy demand”) is a lot higher for many commercial sites, especially factories and warehouses. This need for predictable and consistent energy can have a huge impact on the way your final charge is calculated.
Understanding these complexities means unlocking the potential to save money by allowing us to bring your energy bill to over a dozen of the best energy providers who are vying for your business. We know what you need in order to see savings, so we’re able to proactively challenge providers to offer their best, and not the other way around.
Because of our dedication to knowing you and understanding your business, we’re not merely looking for a low price, but also terms that suit your needs. For example, your dedicated energy expert knows pricing right now is favourable, and may strategize seeking out a longer contract term to ensure you keep this low rate for longer.
Seeing the big picture, to find the big savings
Procuring energy solo for your large business can quickly become stressful and overwhelming - You might ‘go with who you know’ out of habit, or keep your head in the sand and ignore it.
But when you ignore the complexity of many commercial energy bills, you also ignore the opportunity to save significant money.
Take for example the tariff attached to your energy demand requirements we mentioned earlier. This can often account for up to 60% of your total bill. This tariff is a charge designed to ensure you are allocated the correct amount of available energy that your site requires, and is calculated by past usage. What many are not aware of, however, is that this tariff charge is rarely shifted alongside your shifting energy requirements.
So, for example, if you move half your labour force to a second worksite, which reduces your energy consumption, you may still be being charged the same tariff. In fact, you might even be charged a tariff that reflects the energy use of the site owner before you - after all, there is no gain in your provider tapping you on the shoulder to point this out.
Don’t think we’re talking small change here either - for some of our customers, a tariff and demand analysis has seen them save tens of thousands each year. Check out this case study here to learn how Newstone Australia is set to save over $17,000 each year thanks to a new network tariff.
Tariff and demand analysis is one of the many additional skills your Choice Energy expert manager can bring to the table when it comes to energy procurement. After all, saving on energy bills is more than just cost per kW. Hidden costs and overcharges are more common than you might think for high energy users, so teaming up with the best for additional services like metering and monitoring and bill validation could see thousands more saved than with brokering alone - not to mention our expertise in high quality, cash flow positive solar solutions.
