    Flexible Energy Procurement; Smarter Buying for UK Businesses

    In a volatile market, flexibility is a strategic advantage. Inteb provides flexible energy procurement services that allow organisations to spread risk, respond to price changes, and buy smarter over time.

    Our service supports finance teams, procurement managers, and energy-conscious estates in gaining more control and visibility over energy costs. With a flexible contract, your business isn’t locked into a single buying point; we help you buy at the right time, on your terms.

    Case Study: Flexible Buying Strategy for Industrial Operator

    Client: A UK-based manufacturer with two operational sites and high seasonal energy demand during Q4 and Q1.

    Challenge: The business had historically relied on fixed energy contracts, locking in rates during periods of market volatility. This resulted in inflated costs and limited budget flexibility, particularly during peak production months.

    Solution: Inteb designed a tailored flexible energy procurement strategy with clear risk thresholds and forward-buying guidelines. We supported the client in moving to a rolling contract, enabling purchases at three market lows while aligning procurement volumes to seasonal load patterns.

    Outcome:

    • £88,000 saved across a two-year period

    • Lowered exposure to high market rates

    • Enhanced cost control during seasonal demand spikes

    • Procurement and finance teams empowered with greater market visibility and decision-making confidence
