CASE STUDY
PLN 3–5M in annual savings with an energy procurement strategy
A food industry company needed to stabilise energy costs and avoid buying at the wrong market moment. We implemented a long-term strategy, ran a tender, and executed purchases according to plan — resulting in PLN 3–5M annual savings and more predictable energy prices.
Result
3–5 million PLN in annual savings (for annual consumption of over 20,000 MWh)
Industry
Food & beverage
Services
- procurement strategy
- tender process
- decision framework and monitoring
- cost stabilisation
Goal
Stabilise energy costs and deliver savings over the coming years by choosing the right buying moments and putting a clear procurement process in place.
Challenges
01
No strategy or clear rules: when to act and when to wait.
02
Risk of buying at the “wrong moment” during high price volatility.
03
Pressure on the budget and the need for stable terms for the next periods.
04
Need for a transparent process that is easy to defend and get approved.
What we did
Procurement strategy and decision rules: we defined the plan—what to track, the risk thresholds, and when to trigger a buying decision.
Energy tender: we ran the supplier and contract selection process, ensuring bids were comparable.
Buying in line with the plan: we aligned execution with the strategy and market conditions—so decisions were data-led, not reactive.
Market monitoring and recommendations: we implemented monitoring and clear “what’s next” guidance to keep costs under control.
Results
PLN 150–250/MWh vs market benchmark
Savings versus average market prices at the time of contracting.
Savings
PLN 3–5 million in annual savings, with consumption above 20,000 MWh per year.
More stable energy prices
Higher budget predictability and lower exposure to price spikes.
