Unlock Smarter Energy Procurement: How WiseUp Tailors Solutions for Every Business
Navigating the Energy Market Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming
Energy procurement can be a minefield. With fluctuating rates, confusing contracts, and retailers pushing deals that aren’t always in your best interest, it’s easy to feel you’re over your head. But what if there was a way to cut through the complexity and secure the best energy solution for your business—without the hassle?
At WiseUp Energy Solutions, we take the guesswork out of energy procurement. Our commission-free, independent approach ensures you get the best value for your energy needs—tailored specifically to your business. But what does that look like in practice?
We offer four distinct service models, each designed to optimise cost savings, reduce risk, and align contracts with your business goals. Let’s dive into the details of each and explore how they can benefit different types of businesses.
1. Competitive Tender Process
Best for: Large commercial users (C&I) or multi-site businesses with 10+ NMIs.
The energy market thrives on competition. With our competitive tender process, we prepare, lodge, and manage a multi-retailer tender, ensuring you secure the most competitive contract.
Key Benefits:
- Cost Savings: Inviting multiple retailers to bid creates a pricing war that works in your favour.
- Risk Management: Our industry expertise helps mitigate exposure to market volatility.
- In-Depth Analysis: We provide a detailed breakdown of each offer, so you can confidently make an informed decision.
- Budget Forecasting: Clear insights into your energy costs for the contract duration—no surprises!
Why it works: If your business has high energy usage or multiple locations, a tender process ensures maximum cost efficiency by leveraging retailer competition.
2. Direct Negotiation
Best for: Businesses using under 100MWh/year or change of ownership situations.
Sometimes, a full tender isn’t necessary. When quick, strategic negotiation is the smarter approach, we engage directly with retailers to secure a favourable contract tailored to your needs.
Key Benefits:
- Fast Turnaround: Ideal for businesses needing a quick energy contract resolution.
- Tailored Strategy: If tendering isn’t the best fit, we customise the negotiation to maximise your savings.
- Transparent Pricing: Commission-free negotiations ensure you get an unbiased deal.
- Hassle-Free Process: We handle all the negotiations without needing back-and-forth with retailers.
Why it works: This model is perfect for small businesses that don’t have the energy volume to benefit from a tender process but still want expert guidance in securing cost-effective contracts.
3. Landlord Negotiations
Best for: Businesses within Embedded Networks or Embedded Network Operators.
Energy costs can be inflated for businesses operating in shared commercial spaces due to third-party fees.
WiseUp partners with landlords and embedded network operators to reduce costs and ensure tenants receive fair, market-aligned energy rates.
Key Benefits:
Lower Energy Costs: Ensure your rates reflect true market pricing, not excessive markups.
- Fairer Agreements: We negotiate more equitable energy terms with landlords.
- Regulatory Compliance: We help landlords align with energy regulations to protect tenant rights.
- Simplified Billing: Transparent pricing structures eliminate confusion and unfair charges.
Why it works: If your business operates in a commercial complex, shopping centre, or managed office space, WiseUp ensures you don’t pay more than necessary for your energy.
4. Direct Metering Agreements
Best for: Businesses looking to reduce metering costs and gain control over meter data.
Most businesses don’t realise that their energy retailer adds a markup to metering costs. With a Direct Metering Agreement, you bypass the retailer and deal directly with the meter provider, which gives you full control over your data and significant cost savings.
Key Benefits:
- Lower Metering Costs: Cut out unnecessary retail markups and fees.
- Greater Data Access: Gain real-time insights into your energy consumption for better decision-making.
- Avoid Meter Churn: Retailers frequently switch metering providers, which can cause billing confusion and disruptions—this solution eliminates that issue.
- Simplified Energy Management: Direct access to accurate usage data supports better forecasting and budgeting.
Why it works: If your business values precision in energy management, a direct metering agreement removes retailer control and gives you direct access to the most reliable data.
