For many organisations, the energy conversation is no longer just about cost. It’s about resilience, predictability and supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Recent years have shown how volatile energy markets can be, making it difficult for businesses and community organisations to budget confidently or plan long-term sustainability initiatives. In an uncertain market, price stability can be just as valuable as price reduction.
One approach gaining increasing attention is collective energy purchasing. By combining demand across multiple organisations, purchasing groups can access greater buying power, secure fixed pricing arrangements and reduce exposure to sudden market fluctuations. Forward purchasing strategies can also help lock in favourable rates when opportunities arise, providing greater certainty for future budgets.
The experience of the 2buy2 Energy Basket demonstrates the potential of this model. For over a decade, 2buy2 have delivered collective procurement, supporting more than 6,000 small and mediums sized organisations, delivering fixed-price energy contracts, simplifying procurement and helping participants access 100% renewable electricity.
For members of the South East Wales Business Climate Coalition, energy procurement is an area where working together can strengthen resilience, support net zero goals and create greater confidence in an increasingly uncertain energy landscape.
