The Challenge
The client’s existing broker had made several energy purchasing decisions close to market highs and had failed to clearly communicate the strategy behind these purchases.
This created several concerns for the client, including lack of trust and transparency, limited forecasting, miscalculations and poor communication.
These issues left the client exposed to unnecessary cost risk and reduced confidence in their existing procurement strategy.
Goals & Objectives
- Review the client’s existing energy purchasing position
- Provide an independent assessment of market conditions
- Develop a clear and structured purchasing strategy
- Align procurement decisions with the client’s risk tolerance and budgeting requirements
- Improve transparency, reporting and market understanding
Our Approach
After being approached for advice, we carried out a detailed review of the client’s existing energy purchases to understand their current position in the market.
We worked closely with the client to discuss their risk tolerance and their need for budget certainty, ensuring that future purchasing strategies aligned with their operational requirements.
While the client continued to receive recommendations from their existing broker, SeeMore Energy provided an independent second opinion on trade decisions.

Results / Impact
Using both fundamental and technical market analysis, we produced a comprehensive assessment of the energy market and developed a procurement strategy covering short, medium and long-term time horizons.
By following SeeMore Energy’s recommendations, the client achieved significant cost savings across multiple energy purchasing periods.
Over three electricity purchasing seasons, the client saved more than £80,000 compared to the pricing levels previously recommended.
Additional savings of £21,000 were achieved on gas purchases, bringing total identified savings to over £100,000.

"We have gained so much appreciation for where our energy is being used."
Since working with SeeMore Energy, we have gained so much appreciation for where our energy is being used at site and what we can do to try and minimise unnecessary spend.

Their bill validation service has ensured we’re 100% confident that we’re being invoiced correctly by our energy supplier and after years of uncertainty, that peace of mind allows us to fully concentrate on our own business in the knowledge our energy management is in safe hands.

"I couldn't recommend them highly enough."
Working with SeeMore Energy has allowed me to fully understand my business energy spend and accurately forecast costs for the foreseeable future.

Their support and knowledge of the markets has been crucial over the last 12 months and having access to their customer portal provides me access to everything I need in one place. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
