In short: We review every clinic against the whole market and keep it on the lowest energy rate, automatically. It’s $0 to join, we’re paid only from a share of the savings we find, and 10,000+ business locations already buy their energy this way. Medical, dental, veterinary and allied health, from one clinic to a group.
Energy procurement for healthcare practices
We review every clinic against the whole market and keep it on the lowest energy rate, automatically.
Why do healthcare practices rarely buy energy well?
A clinic can’t switch its equipment off to save money. That changes how its energy should be bought.
Equipment that never switches off
Vaccine and medicine fridges have to hold temperature around the clock, and sterilisers, imaging and lab equipment draw energy through every session. The base load stays on overnight and on weekends.
Opening hours that don’t fit the tariff
After-hours clinics, and vet hospitals with animals in overnight, use energy at hours most business tariffs aren’t built around. The right tariff depends on when a clinic uses energy, not just how much.
Clinics change hands
Practice groups grow by buying clinics. Each one arrives with its own retailer, contract and renewal date, and the energy handover is easy to miss.

How does energy procurement work for a healthcare practice?
Start with one clinic, or the whole group
See an estimate for one clinic in 60 seconds, or send us every clinic’s bills and we review them together.
We review every clinic against the whole market
Each clinic is benchmarked on its own tariff, distribution network and usage, then priced as part of a buying group of 10,000+ business locations. Larger sites go to tender.
You approve before anything changes
You see the saving for each clinic and the rate it will pay, already after our share. Nothing switches until you approve it.
We handle the switch, then keep watching
We manage the switch with the retailer. Supply isn’t interrupted, so fridges and equipment keep running. Then we keep reviewing prices and hold every renewal date, including for clinics you acquire.
What does a single clinic get, and what does a group get?
For a single clinic
$0 to join. We refuse retailer commissions. Our only income is a share of the savings we find you, and every rate we quote is already after our share.
Kept on the lowest rate. We review your prices every month, and if there’s anything cheaper we switch you. On small business plans in Australia: if no better rate is found in 12 months, you get $100 off your next bill.
No calls to the retailer. We handle the switch and the paperwork, so nobody at the front desk is on hold about an energy bill.
For a group of clinics
One process for every clinic. Every clinic is reviewed, switched and watched the same way, whichever state or network it sits in.
Acquired clinics come across properly. When you buy a clinic, we move its energy account into the group’s process instead of leaving it on the previous owner’s contract.
Every bill, site and contract in one place. The platform keeps every clinic’s energy data in one view, across retailers. First 50 bills free, and free when we run your procurement.

Which healthcare groups already buy energy this way?
Vets Central
Runs energy for its veterinary clinics across two countries on one platform, including the handover when it acquires a clinic.
The Pharmacy Collective
Kept on the lowest gas and electricity prices automatically, with new store openings handled through Termina.

What else do people ask about healthcare energy?
Will switching interrupt supply to our fridges or equipment?
No. A switch changes who bills you, not the connection. Nothing changes physically at the clinic and there’s no interruption to supply.
We’re an after-hours or 24-hour clinic. Does that change anything?
It changes which tariff suits you. When much of your usage falls overnight and on weekends, the off-peak rate carries more weight. We benchmark each clinic on its own usage, not an average.
Is a large clinic or hospital priced differently?
Yes. Above the large-market line for its state, a site is priced through a tender rather than off a published offer. The line is 40 MWh a year in Victoria, 100 MWh in New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT, and 160 MWh in South Australia.
What does it cost?
$0 to join. We refuse retailer commissions, and our only income is a share of the savings we find. Every rate we quote is already after our share, so the number you see is the number you get.
We’re buying another clinic. What happens to its energy?
We move the account across and review it like every other clinic in the group, so it doesn’t stay on the previous owner’s rate. If the clinic sits in a different company, it gets its own pricing round and signs its own agreement.
What if you can’t find a saving for a clinic?
Then that clinic pays nothing, and it stays in the 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.
Can we see every clinic’s energy in one place?
Yes. The platform keeps every bill, site and contract in one place, across retailers. The first 50 bills are free, and it’s free when we run your procurement.
What is Termina?
Termina is an Australian and New Zealand business energy procurement company and energy data platform. 10,000+ business locations buy their energy through Termina as one group, clients have saved $11.2M+ across ANZ, and it costs $0 to join.
