Which Sydney businesses count as large energy users?

Manufacturing, logistics and distribution, food production, cold storage, data centres, hospitals and multi-site retail and hospitality groups.
Demand and load shape
High peak demand and long operating hours make the load profile as important as the rate.

The process
How does a large-market tender work?
Four steps, and nothing changes until you approve it.
Send your bills and interval data
For every large-market site: the latest bills and the usage history behind them.
We tender the whole market
Your load is put to 37+ retailers at every renewal, including retailers that pay brokers nothing.
You choose, with the offers side by side
Every offer on the same basis, already after our share. Nothing is signed until you approve it.
We track the contract
End dates, renewal windows and what you pay against what you signed, for every site.
Who pays your adviser
How do energy brokers get paid?
Most are paid a commission by the retailer that wins your contract, usually built into the rate you pay. Termina refuses retailer commissions.
A commission-paid broker
Paid by the retailer that wins your contract. The commission usually sits inside your unit rate, so it never shows as a line on your bill.
Termina
No retailer pays us anything. Our only income is a share of the savings we find, and every rate we quote is already after our share.

What qualifies a Sydney business as a large energy user?
A business is generally classified as a large energy user if it consumes over 100 MWh of electricity annually or spends more than $30,000 per year on energy. These businesses can access bespoke large-market pricing not available to SME customers.
How does Termina help large energy users reduce costs in Sydney?
Termina analyses your load profile, times the market for optimal pricing, runs competitive tenders across NSW retailers, structures your contract for stability, negotiates stronger terms, and aggregates multi-site usage to secure lower rates.
What is the benefit of large-market energy procurement compared to standard contracts?
Large-market procurement provides access to customised tariffs, wholesale-informed pricing, reduced demand charges, risk-managed contract structures, and greater flexibility. These advantages are not available through standard retail agreements.
Why is tendering important for large energy users in Sydney?
Tendering creates competitive pressure among retailers, ensuring they compete for your business. Termina manages documentation, pricing rounds, negotiations, and evaluation so you secure the best commercial offer with full transparency.
What risks do large users face in commercial energy contracts?
Large-user contracts may include market pass-through clauses, volume risk, capacity constraints, demand penalties, environmental certificate costs, and complex break provisions. Termina identifies and negotiates these risks to protect your business financially.
How can multi-site Sydney businesses benefit from aggregated procurement?
Pooling multiple locations into one procurement event increases buying power, simplifies management, reduces administrative burden, and attracts more competitive retailer bids. Termina specialises in multi-site consolidation across NSW and nationwide portfolios.
