The basics

What is energy procurement?

Energy procurement is how a business buys its electricity and gas: choosing the retailer, negotiating the rates, and setting the contract terms. Do it well and energy is just another line item that quietly stays low. Do it badly, or not at all, and you pay whatever your retailer decides a distracted client should pay.

Most businesses repeat this process every year or two, under time pressure, against offers that are deliberately hard to compare. The cycle exists because retailers hike rates once the honeymoon pricing ends, and a broker paid at signing has no reason to renegotiate. It's why "30% discount" offers sit on variable base rates that can move the month after you sign.

Our approach is different: procurement isn't an event, it's a system. We benchmark your sites against the whole market, negotiate with the buying power of 10,000+ business locations, and keep re-checking after you switch. The lowest rate every month, not just on signing day.

The process

How our energy procurement works

01

Share a recent bill

A recent bill helps, but you don't need one to start. Keep it self-serve, or talk to us if you'd prefer. Your call, whatever the size of your business.

02

We go to the whole market

Your sites are benchmarked against current market pricing for electricity and gas. Multi-location portfolios are negotiated as one book of business, not site by site.

03

See the saving in dollars

You see the saving we found and the rate you'll pay. Every rate we quote is already after our share, so the number you see is the number you get.

04

Approve once, we handle the rest

We manage the switch with the retailer. Nothing changes physically, no interruption to supply. Then we review your prices every month, and if there's anything cheaper we switch you.

Follow the money

Who pays your energy adviser?

Before you appoint anyone to buy energy on your behalf, ask one question: who signs their cheque?

Brokers and consultants paid by retailers

Most energy brokers are paid a commission by the retailer they place you with, often priced into your rates for the life of the contract. Their income grows when your bill does. They can promise to be on your side. Structurally, they can't be.

Termina is paid only from your savings

We refuse retailer commissions. Our only income is a share of the savings we actually find you, so we make money when your bill goes down, not up. A commission-paid adviser cannot say that. Not won't. Can't.

Multi-location businesses

Procurement across every site, on one bill

Franchises, groups and portfolios don't need a better site-by-site deal. They need every site bought as one.

One negotiation, every site

Your whole portfolio goes to market together, whatever the mix of states, meters and retailers. Larger books get sharper pricing, and larger sites keep a larger share of the saving.

One consolidated bill

Every site, every fuel, one invoice. No more sixty bills a month across five retailers. Propel Funeral Partners run 286 sites across three fuels through Termina on one consolidated bill.

New sites join automatically

Opening a location? It joins the portfolio's arrangements from day one, instead of starting on whatever default rate the local retailer offers.

5 or more locations? Skip the form queue: book a portfolio review and we'll look at the whole estate at once.

After you sign

The procurement that never stops

A great rate in June is a mediocre rate by March. The market moves every month; a one-off procurement exercise can't follow it, and nobody else in the market is paid to tell you when your deal stops being good.

We are. Our model is built to actively manage your account: we review your prices every month, and if there's anything cheaper we switch you. You approve the model once; the switching is our job, not another task on your list.

On small business plans in Australia: if no better rate is found in 12 months, you get $100 off your next bill.

No savings today doesn't mean no savings ever. Sites where we find nothing stay in the review cycle, and when the market moves, you'll be the first to know.

Electricity and gas together

Electricity procurement and gas procurement run through the same review. One authority, one process, every fuel benchmarked on the same cycle.

Tenders, when the portfolio calls for it

Cheapest path first: online review and rate card in parallel, a bespoke tender when a commercial and industrial portfolio genuinely needs one.

Renewable procurement, layered on

GreenPower, power purchase agreements and solar can be layered onto either lane. Cost down and emissions down, at the same time.

Questions

Commercial energy procurement, answered

What does an energy procurement service actually do?

It buys energy on your behalf: benchmarking your current rates, taking your sites to the market, negotiating with retailers, and managing the switch. Ours also keeps working after you sign, reviewing your prices every month and switching you when there's something cheaper.

What does it cost?

$0 unless we save you money. Our only income is a share of the savings we find, and every rate we quote is already after our share. Your split depends on the size of your sites; larger sites keep a larger share.

Will I be dealing with a new retailer every few months?

No. You approve the model once and we handle any switching from there. Nothing changes physically at your sites and there's no interruption to supply. Most clients notice nothing except the bill.

I already use an energy broker. Isn't this the same thing?

The mechanics look similar; the money is opposite. Most brokers are paid commissions by retailers, so their income rises with your rates. We refuse retailer commissions and are paid only from savings we find you. How do you want your adviser paid: out of the savings they find you, or by the retailer?

Can you handle sites in different states or regions, or with different retailers?

Yes. Mixed states, meters, fuels and retailers are normal for multi-location portfolios. Everything is negotiated as one book and lands on one consolidated bill.

What if you can't find savings?

Then you pay nothing, and your sites stay in the monthly review cycle for when the market moves. On small business plans in Australia: if no better rate is found in 12 months, you get $100 off your next bill.
