Risk managed, opportunity optimised

We believe risk management should be at the heart of any energy procurement strategy, and we will work with you to tailor a holistic approach that balances your specific priorities and risks with opportunity.

As part of our initial analysis, we complete a thorough energy cost audit, covering elements such as supply and demand and economic conditions. As well as understanding how your business is impacted by a changing energy spend, we’ll consider the marketplace in which you operate, your product/service pricing structure, consumption expectations, budget requirements, and net-zero strategy.

You can achieve the best results from your energy procurement strategies with our extensive experience, market monitoring and knowledge guiding the way.

We have a wealth of experience delivering energy savings for businesses, procuring all types of energy contracts from fixed to flexible. Unlike other energy procurement companies, we're entirely independent of any supplier, so you can always get a fully impartial tender process and the best contract for your business.

Let’s discuss your energy procurement requirements.

You can always expect a high-quality service from the Trident team, whether that’s from our excellent attention to detail or our in-depth evaluation of client performance.

You can benefit from our innovative software, Pulse, which provides you with valuable reports and increased transparency. We can provide reports to ensure compliance with SECR requirements, as well as other relevant frameworks.

Are you concerned that you might have been overpaying for energy bills? Then you should ask us about our revenue recovery services, which enable you to claim back overpaid bills for your company.

Fixed

Fixed energy contracts set the price of your energy based on market prices on the date you sign the contract. They can benefit businesses that class budget certainty as an overriding priority, for example those that can’t add changing energy costs to their product price or pass them on to their end user. Businesses with small energy spends in relation to other costs may also choose fixed contracts to free up time for more important spend categories.

Fixed-contract holders should be aware that supplier risk premiums will be increased, as the supplier is taking on risk by agreeing to set rates. Changes to consumption may also invoke volume tolerance clauses, as the volume is set for the contract duration. And finally, fixed contracts see all volume purchased in one transaction. This may work in your favour, but it’s important to remember that you won’t benefit from any decreases to commodity or non-commodity costs until your contract ends.

Flexible

Flexible energy contracts allow you to purchase your energy requirement across multiple transactions throughout your contract duration, rather than relying on a single purchasing decision. Non-commodity costs can be fixed or passed through at cost, and most supplier offerings allow unlimited re-forecasting of volume to ensure you remain in control.

Choose a bespoke flexible contract and we’ll hold a discovery workshop with you to understand your individual priorities and risks. These will inform a whole market tender to ensure your contract meets all of your requirements. Next, we’ll work with you to draw up a risk management strategy, including a hedging strategy, which our experienced trading team will execute using both fundamental and technical analysis to monitor markets to the second, to maximise market opportunity. Our Pulse energy management software can monitor your market position 24/7.

We don’t believe in standing still. We’ll constantly evaluate and report back on your risk management and hedging strategies to ensure they remain appropriate for your needs and changing market conditions.

Framework

Trident’s frameworks offer a flexible purchasing option for consumers who can’t access stand-alone flexible contracts due to volume thresholds. We have several framework providers, including options for 100% natural renewable energy and green gas.

Our rigorous tender process means you can trust all our providers to provide transparent fee structures negotiated by our team, to have agreed to SLAs, and to designate named contacts and set escalation points.

You can choose from several framework risk strategy options and are free to switch strategy at any time, providing you transfer your traded position to the new strategy.

No matter which one you chose, your volume requirement is purchased over multiple transactions, which reduces the risk of buying large volumes at unfavourable times.

What are REGOs?

Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates (REGOs) are issued in the UK to demonstrate that a specific amount of electricity has been generated from renewable sources and fed into the National Grid. They provide transparency to electricity consumers about the proportion of their energy that comes from renewable sources. They also help energy suppliers verify and report their renewable energy contributions to comply with regulations and targets.

How do REGO's Work?

Ofgem issues a REGO certificate for every megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated. The certificates contain information about the generator, the renewable energy technology used, and the generation location.

End users can purchase REGOs to offset their consumption. These essentially guarantee that enough renewable energy has been generated to offset the user’s demand during the compliance period.

Many businesses choose to bundle REGO purchases into their energy supply contracts, but this is not the only route to market. When you partner with Trident, we can assist with procuring REGO certificates independently of your supply contract, via the secondary market. This allows you to have a greater choice in the type and location of any sustainable generation, as well as creating competitive tension between market players.

We have access to several partners and generators and can help obtain independent quotes for REGO certificates.
