Engineering consultancy · Our shared path

From understanding
to the right energy strategy.

Seven steps in three phases – from understanding your business to ongoing support.

We focus on the areas where savings can make the quickest difference.

Understand · Steps 1 & 2

What your business
really needs.

01

Getting to know your business

Free of charge

In the initial consultation, we clarify how your company operates and uses energy: its activities, operating structure, total electricity and gas consumption, load profiles, current procurement model and recent supplier bills.

02

Assessing generation & storage

Free of charge

We assess the potential for on-site generation and energy storage, as well as reducing peak loads. This includes options such as photovoltaics and battery storage, considered in the context of your operations.

Understanding consumption – on site.

Plan · Steps 3 to 5

Identify potential.
Question costs.

03

Assessing funding opportunities

Success fee

Exclusively for our existing clients. We assess potential savings through funding. For this step, we work exclusively on a success-fee basis: a percentage of the funding actually received.

04

Reviewing grid charges closely

Free of charge

We carry out a plausibility check and a detailed review of your grid charges, covering this significant component of your energy costs.

05

Planning procurement strategically

Free of charge

Based on your consumption patterns, we develop an optimised strategic procurement concept. Your energy needs, operating structure and suitable procurement model form the basis.

Support · Steps 6 & 7

The right supply.
Personal support.

The right energy supply.
06

Selecting the right supplier

Free of charge

We select the supplier best suited to the procurement concept we have developed. Your company's requirements and the corresponding supply and contract terms guide the choice.

07

Supporting the switch & monitoring the market

Free of charge

We support the supplier switch and transfer of your supply points. Afterwards, we continuously monitor the energy market and help you renew or change your procurement model at a favourable time.

Taking the first step together

Procurement models, clearly explained

Which buying strategy
fits your business?

A model starts with your consumption. How much predictability do you need? How flexible are your volumes? And how can on-site generation be taken into account?

We consider these questions together in the strategy consultation. The following models help explain your options.

Explore strategic procurement
Illustrative industrial facility with photovoltaics and battery storage.
Consumption and on-site generation belong in the same strategy.
Fixed priceSet the price basis

A fixed energy price for the agreed supply period. Volume provisions, the contract term and other billing components are considered separately.

Spot marketParticipate in the market

The price follows the short-term wholesale market and can rise or fall. Your consumption profile and how you manage these fluctuations are key.

Tranches & portfolioDivide the volumes

Portions of your energy volume are purchased at different times. Secured and variable volumes, together with on-site generation, can be combined in one strategy.

PPAInclude generation

A longer-term agreement to buy electricity from a generation facility, such as wind or solar. The contract term, generation profile and remaining electricity needs must fit together.

Pooled buyingCombine demand

Several companies pool their demand. Unlike combining your own supply points, this requires reviewing shared participation terms, individual volumes and flexibility.

Which solution is available and suitable depends on the supplier, your consumption profile and the specific contract terms. We consider the energy price alongside the other cost components.
