What is an Energy Buyers Group?

Written by

An energy buyers group is a collective of businesses that join forces to purchase gas and electricity in bulk, enabling them to access wholesale energy rates. 

By pooling their energy requirements, members of the group leverage collective buying power to negotiate better deals with energy providers. 

These groups are particularly beneficial in markets like Australia, where fluctuating energy prices and a diverse supplier landscape can make it challenging for individual businesses to secure competitive rates.

Energy buyers groups typically operate by aggregating the energy demand of multiple companies, creating a stronger negotiating position with suppliers. 

This approach allows businesses of all sizes to benefit from rates and terms typically reserved for larger organisations.

How Termina leverages energy buyers groups

At Termina, we take the concept of energy buyers groups to the next level by combining collective purchasing power with our unique saving split model.

This means our only incentive is to save you as much as possible unlike traditional brokers who are incentivised to put you on the price with the biggest commission (we refuse commissions).  

We leverage our extensive network of businesses across Australia and New Zealand to negotiate unbeatable energy rates, while our advanced platform ensures you always benefit from the lowest prices available. 

By automating rate optimisation and providing comprehensive management tools, Termina simplifies energy procurement and delivers tangible savings for our clients.

Benefits of energy buyers groups

Energy buyers groups are an attractive option for businesses looking to cut energy costs. And since they offer a range of financial and operational advantages, more businesses in Australia are getting on board. Here are ways businesses are benefiting:

  1. Access to Lower Rates: By aggregating demand, energy buyers groups can secure wholesale rates that are significantly lower than retail prices. This can result in substantial cost savings for members.

  2. Reduced Administrative Burden: Negotiating energy contracts and comparing rates can be time-consuming. Energy buyers groups handle these tasks on behalf of their members, freeing up internal resources.

  3. Price Stability: Group contracts often include fixed-rate options, protecting businesses from sudden price hikes in the energy market.

  4. Expert Negotiation: These groups typically have energy market experts who negotiate on behalf of members, ensuring optimal terms and conditions.

How can your business save with Termina

Termina goes beyond the traditional benefits of an energy buyers group by offering an automated solution to energy cost management. Here’s how Termina stands out:

This ensures you’re always paying the best price without lifting a finger. Forget manual comparisons and tedious negotiations - Termina eliminates the hassle entirely.

Comprehensive Dashboard

Termina provides businesses with a centralised platform to manage all their energy accounts.

Leverage Group Buying Power

With thousands of businesses across Australia and New Zealand in our buyers group, Termina secures better-than-market prices that would be impossible for individual companies to achieve alone.
