European Energy Markets have for many years lagged behind the UK but we are now seeing significant moves on the continent towards greater liberalisation, transparency and openness across national borders. All these changes represent both threats and more importantly, opportunities in the management of your energy requirements.

Energy Management’s many years of experience negotiating contracts within the UK and the excellent relationships that we have built up with European energy providers enable us to find you the most appropriate and competitive deal that fits your business needs.

Not only do crucial factors such as the length, type and timing, of energy contracts need to be considered in Europe but, in addition, there are other important factors to be taken into account. For example, some countries have the option to revert back to government subsidised tariffs which can provide significant financial benefits. Others still offer an extension to the existing contract at no extra cost, this can dramatically avoid huge budget increases provided this contract option is invoked in sufficient time with suppliers. At Energy Management, market intelligence and analysis is used to assess both short and long term trends within each country’s unique energy market. With this grasp of the European market and our knowledge of the many different tariffs and structures available, we can maximize the savings.

Alongside this proactive approach to market timing, we recognise that energy purchasing has to be right for your company and its priorities. For example, some businesses will prefer to opt for a longer term arrangement that allows for greater security, planning and budgeting. Alternatively, there are more flexible arrangements which enable energy purchasers to take advantage of fluctuations in energy pricing in a more pragmatic manner. Our account managers can explore the range of options with you in order to find the best energy solution for your business.
