There are a number of ways you can reduce your energy costs. Almost all of which fall into two buckets:
- Reducing energy prices; and
- Reducing energy usage
Reduce energy prices
To reduce energy prices, especially for businesses with multiple locations, an optimised approach is needed. The energy market is too complex for any single retailer to be the lowest price for every meter type, in every region, especially over a period longer than a few months.
Energy retailer's strategy tends to be to have a target set of meters the price as competitively as possible, while making more money on other meters. This means it's never the best option to go with a single retailer for your portfolio for any significant period of time.
The best way to reduce your energy prices are by optimising your portfolio with a progressive procurement strategy. Taking advantage of the best prices in the market for both small and large market meters. This is exactly what Termina does.

Reduce energy usage
The 2nd most common way of reducing energy costs in business is to reduce energy usage.
