Large Energy User Procurement Melbourne

Large energy users in Melbourne face unique challenges. High consumption levels, peak demand exposure, and market fluctuations can dramatically impact operational costs. Termina provides a specialist large market energy procurement Melbourne service designed for businesses that consume significant electricity or gas, helping them secure lower rates, negotiate stronger contracts, and reduce exposure to wholesale volatility.

If your organisation spends over $30,000 per year on electricity, or consumes more than 100 MWh annually, you may qualify for large-market pricing, where strategic negotiation can unlock major savings.

Who Counts as a Large Energy User in Melbourne?

Large energy users typically include:

  • Manufacturing facilities

  • Data centres
  • Food production & processing plants
  • Hospitals & aged care sites
  • Retail chains with high consumption
  • Multi-site commercial operations
  • Large office buildings
