Businesses face growing challenges when it comes to securing cost-effective and reliable energy. Rising energy costs, unpredictable supply changes, and increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals make energy procurement more critical than ever.
Energy procurement, once viewed as a straightforward purchasing decision, has now become a strategic priority for companies aiming to balance cost-efficiency with environmental responsibility.
At Smarta Energy, we don’t just navigate this complex landscape – we lead the way, providing tailored energy procurement strategies that ensure businesses achieve the best possible outcome.
What is Energy Procurement?
Energy procurement involves the strategic process of sourcing and securing energy supply contracts for electricity and gas, often through a combination of market analysis, contract negotiation, and strategic planning. It goes beyond simply purchasing energy, it now involves securing the best possible price, while managing risk.
Historically, businesses have focused primarily on securing the lowest possible energy price. However, with the rising volatility of energy markets, growing demand for renewable energy, and increased regulatory pressure, procurement now encompasses a broader scope of considerations.

Smart businesses recognize that effective energy procurement is not just about finding the cheapest rates—it's about securing the right type of energy, from the right sources, at the right time. That’s where Smarta Energy comes in.
Challenges in Energy Procurement today
Before we jump into how Smarta Energy leads the way in Energy Procurement, and how an energy consultancy can help your business thrive, we want to share the current challenges in energy procurement today.
Volatile Markets
The energy market is prone to price fluctuations due to factors such as supply disruptions, geopolitical instability, and shifting demand. This volatility can dramatically affect a company’s energy costs, especially for those without a clear procurement strategy.
NetZero and Sustainability Goals
Businesses today are increasingly required to balance their energy needs with their sustainability goals. But it is easier said than done. Transitioning to greener energy sources or meeting regulatory environmental standards requires a nuanced approach to procurement that incorporations renewable energy options, like our renewable rewards system offers.

Complex contract negotiations
Energy consultants can be complex, often filled with hidden charges, complicated terminology that sounds like jargon, or clauses that can negatively impact a business’s bottom line. Having the expertise to navigate these intricacies is key to securing a favourable deal.
Smarta Energy’s Innovative Approach to Energy Procurement
At Smarta Energy, we view energy procurement as a dynamic, multi-dimensional process that requires both agility and foresight – plus a fantastic team.
Our approach is rooted in data-driven decision-making and a deep understanding of the energy markets. Here’s how we lead the way in energy procurement:
Tailored Procurement Strategies
No two businesses are alike, and neither are their energy needs. At Smarta Energy, we create customised procurement strategies that align with each client’s specific goals, whether it's reducing costs, increasing sustainability, or hedging against market volatility.
We work closely with our clients to understand their operational needs and risk tolerance, allowing us to design procurement plans that provide both short-term gains and long-term stability.
Our expertise enables us to navigate the complexities of wholesale energy markets, allowing our clients to lock in favourable rates when the timing is right, or to leverage flexible contract structures that adjust to market changes. This ensures that businesses not only save money but also maintain resilience against price spikes and market fluctuations.
Commitment to Sustainability
As the global transition to renewable energy accelerates, many businesses are looking for ways to integrate sustainability into their procurement strategies. Smarta Energy is at the forefront of this movement, offering procurement solutions that prioritize green energy sources without compromising on cost efficiency.

We work with businesses to incorporate renewable energy into their procurement plans, from Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with green energy providers to strategies that maximise renewable energy incentives and rebates, such as our renewable rewards program. By helping clients shift to cleaner energy sources, we enable them to meet their sustainability targets while reducing their carbon footprint.
Data-Driven Insights
In a volatile energy market, real-time data is a powerful tool. At Smarta Energy, our Trading and Risk team leverages advanced data analytics to provide clients with up-to-the-minute insights into market trends, allowing for informed decision-making. Our energy monitoring tools track usage patterns and market conditions, enabling us to pinpoint the optimal times for energy procurement.

This data-driven approach not only results in cost savings but also allows businesses to forecast future energy needs more accurately, ensuring that their procurement strategy evolves with their operations.
Risk Management Expertise
Energy markets are inherently unpredictable, and price volatility can have a significant impact on a business’s bottom line. Our team are experts in risk management, offering strategies that mitigate exposure to market fluctuations. Whether through fixed contracts, or flexible purchasing options, we tailor risk management plans that balance the need for cost stability with the opportunity for savings.
This proactive approach to risk ensures that businesses can maintain predictable energy costs even in the face of market turbulence, providing them with the financial stability needed to focus on their core operations.
