Fixed Energy Procurement

Widely used by businesses in the UK ‘Fixed’ price contracts are ideal for customers who require budget certainty.

Fixed price energy purchasing allows you to freeze an agreed unit price for the future delivery of contracted energy volumes. The agreed fixed price lasts for the duration of the contract, which can be up to 3 years or in some cases, even longer.

A fixed price contract provides peace of mind and confidence in your budget projections. They are also less administratively demanding and suitable for customers who are risk averse and require stability.

With UPL you can rest assured that you are getting a professional service, as we take care of every aspect of the procurement process on your behalf. Our overriding consideration is to maintain effective communication at all stages of the procurement process.
