Advanced Procurement
The electricity industry continues to evolve rapidly and is undergoing unprecedented change as the high cost of energy and its impact on the climate have created their own climate in which technology is driving change down to the lowest levels, your home.
The transition to 100% renewables is underway, with unprecedented challenges for the electricity sector in Aotearoa New Zealand. We are leading the change - no other island nation is planning to be at 100% earlier than we are.
These challenges provide opportunities, but also create uncertainty and volatility that electricity consumers will have to navigate over the next decade, and perhaps longer. Energy Link’s Advanced Procurement Service (APS) provides larger energy consumers with information, insights, expert advice, and assistance, which will make navigating the transition easier and more successful.
With a correctly employed APS you will:
- Be up to date with market conditions and contract status as they evolve.
- Minimise administrative overheads associated with bill checking, issue resolution, budget development and progress tracking.
- Enhance procurement processes and supplier engagement.
- Minimise the longer-term cost of electricity.
- Respond more rapidly to changes in market.
Procurement
There are only two ways to reduce energy costs: reduce the prices you pay for your energy or reduce the energy you consume.
The key to reducing the prices you pay for energy is having a procurement plan. This can be a complex and daunting process but keep in mind that despite rising energy costs, there is still increasing competition from providers to supply you with energy. This means that the more informed you are, the more you can minimise your energy prices.
