Given the nature of the energy markets over the last few years having the right partner has been critical. EIC has provided excellent support to us in a friendly, professional and pro-active manner guiding us through the energy procurement maze. We can recommend them without reservation.

Louise Speksnyder, Head of Operations, provides an overview of her team's approach to procuring energy via a fixed term contract.
"In order to secure a contract that brings genuine competitive advantage, it is essential to work with a consultancy who understands the dynamics operating within the energy market to identify when conditions are most favourable. By working closely with our Energy Markets team our Account Managers are able to provide accurate, interpreted energy market analysis.
Our procurement service is extremely proactive and completely independent. EIC adds real value by advising clients on the timing of their approach to market. The sites we look after are price tracked far in advance of the contract renewal dates; enabling us to identify prime opportunity points to tender.
Our team of dedicated Account Managers are in regular contact with our clients to provide advice on current market conditions and agree to a purchasing strategy by looking through a range of contract options.
EIC fully manages the contract renewal process from start to finish, providing informative and concise reports. With prices often available for only hours at a time, we ensure all information sent through to our clients is as clear-cut as possible to facilitate their decision.
After the tendering process is complete, we check that all sites and meters are registered correctly and manage any queries with your supplier. We also offer an invoice validation service to ensure that the correct energy rates have been applied and, if applicable, will assist you in completing the necessary Climate Change Agreement forms".
