Sarah Hayns, Risk Management Analyst, provides an insight into Portfolio, our flexible group purchasing option.
"Portfolio is an innovative fully risk managed flexible purchasing solution. It's ideal for businesses looking for an alternative to fixed price, fixed term contracts or for those who find their current individual flexible contracts too restrictive. We bring together an exclusive group of sizeable energy users to join a 'best in class' fully flexible energy contract, normally only available to the very largest electricity and gas consumers.
EIC Portfolio clients benefit from the critical mass and contract flexibility of a group deal, but still retain control over a policy that matches their individual risk appetite. Using a flexible energy contract with full refloat facilities, our clients can choose from a range of purchasing strategies.
The Portfolio, also allows clients to change their strategy throughout the duration of the contract, enabling them to adapt their approach based on changing business requirements or market conditions. The Portfolio is expertly managed by a team of highly qualified and experienced risk managers and every client has a dedicated Account Manager on hand to support them with all their energy needs.
The EIC Portfolio recognises that all businesses are unique. By offering choice and flexibility, even once the contract has started, we provide a tailored solution that delivers consistent results irrespective of your risk appetite or prevailing market conditions."
