Fixed vs Flexible Energy Procurement Overview

For businesses that use over 150,000kwh of electricity – over 300,000kwh of gas considering a flexible contract is a practical option.

Below are the comparisons of both options.

Fixed Procurement (Fully Fixed)
Definition: A fixed contract locks in a single unit price for electricity and/or gas for a defined term (typically
12–36 months).

Key Benefits:

• High budget certainty and predictable costs
• Simple contract structure and low administration
• Protection from market price spikes

Considerations:

• No ability to benefit from falling market prices after contract start
• May include supplier risk premiums

Best suited for:
Smaller users, risk-averse organisations, or businesses prioritising simplicity.

Flexible Procurement (Flex)

Definition: Flexible procurement allows energy to be purchased in multiple tranches over time, based on market movements and a defined risk strategy. This approach is often supported by trading expertise and continuous monitoring.

Key Benefits:

• Opportunity to buy at market lows and optimise spend
• Ability to hedge gradually to manage volatility
• Strategic approach aligned with energy risk management

Considerations:

• Requires active management and governance
• Outcomes depend on market strategy and timing

Best suited for: Larger users, organisations with energy market engagement, or those seeking cost optimisation.
