Ensure day-to-day portfolio and market monitoring without information noise.
03
Build a market benchmark and clear comparability across countries to support decisions.

What we did
Strategy review and refresh: we assessed the current model and defined clear rules—what to track, when to trigger a decision, and how to close it.
Portfolio & market monitoring: we implemented regular tracking of power prices and key market indicators, so decisions are data-driven—not gut-driven.
Market data & benchmarking: we provided a clear benchmark across markets and short commentary: what changed and what it means for the business.
Tender & negotiations: we ran the tender process and negotiations, securing favourable terms with suppliers.
PV business case (solar): we compared investment scenarios to support a numbers-based decision and shorten payback time.
Results
Improved energy buying strategy
An optimised purchasing approach was rolled out across the organisation.
Cost savings
5% year-on-year savings on energy procurement costs.
Better contract terms
A competitive tender and negotiations delivered stronger contract frameworks and pricing terms.
How clients rate our support
"Before we engaged Enerace, we already had a fairly advanced approach to energy procurement, based on risk management and tranche-based contracting.
Enerace significantly strengthened our strategic approach. With their support, we run a clear and consistent process aligned with our objectives. We value that our consultant is open and ready for difficult discussions when needed. Ongoing monitoring of our strategy’s execution has noticeably improved the effectiveness of our purchasing decisions.
Their support in organising the tender also deserves special recognition. During negotiations, Enerace demonstrated a high level of professionalism and helped us secure very strong terms with the energy supplier — both on price and on non-price conditions — including renewable energy requirements."
