Buy energy like an
institution. Not a customer.
For enterprises spending six and seven figures a year, energy procurement is a treasury function — not a renewal task. We run flexible, fixed and basket strategies on your behalf, with daily market intelligence and zero supplier commission.
Match the strategy
to the risk appetite.
There is no single best procurement strategy. There is the right strategy for your treasury policy, your forecast certainty, and the volatility you can carry. We build the framework, we execute the trades.
Fixed
Lowest variance
Lock the unit rate for 12–48 months. Budget certainty above all. Best when your CFO will not accept in-year P&L volatility — and when the forward curve is trading below your internal hurdle rate.
- Single tender, single price, single supplier
- Forecast certainty for budget setting
- Zero in-year hedging activity required
Flexible
Best risk-adjusted
Buy your volume in tranches across the forward curve, timed against market signals. Requires governance and trader discipline — delivers the lowest weighted-average cost over the cycle for most large users.
- Tranche schedule agreed in your Risk Management Mandate
- Daily price monitoring and trigger-based execution
- Monthly position reporting to your treasury team
Basket
Best small-volume rate
Pool your demand with other Taurus clients for a single, larger tender. You get pricing typically reserved for organisations 5–10× your size — without aggregating sites you do not own.
- Combined tender volume of 200+ GWh
- Same contract terms, individual invoicing
- Quarterly basket reviews — opt in or out
A trading desk
working for your position.
In-house analysts watch the wholesale curves daily. Triggers, technical signals, fundamentals, weather, gas storage, interconnector flows — the same inputs an institutional energy desk uses, applied to your tranche schedule.
- Daily market notes — sent before 09:00, summarising overnight prints and the day’s trading signals
- Trigger-based execution — you set the discipline, we execute when the price hits the level
- Monthly position report — board-ready, showing hedged vs un-hedged volume, weighted-average cost, and mark-to-market
- Treasury liaison — your CFO or treasurer gets a quarterly call with our head of trading
From mandate
to managed position.
Portfolio review & risk mandate
We assess every contract, every meter, every renewal date. We agree your Risk Management Mandate: tranche structure, trigger rules, escalation thresholds, board reporting cadence.
Supplier tender & framework selection
We run a fully transparent supplier tender. Same questions to every supplier, same scoring rubric, every response visible to you. We sit on your side of the table.
Daily market intelligence & tranche execution
We execute against your mandate. Triggers are armed, signals are watched, tranches are bought as conditions dictate. You see every trade and the reasoning behind it.
Monthly reporting & quarterly review
Monthly position reports go to your treasury team. Quarterly business reviews go to your board. Annual mandate refresh with your CFO as conditions change.
Every procurement
engagement includes:
Risk Management Mandate
Your governance document — agreed once, reviewed annually.
Daily Market Notes
Pre-09:00 briefing. Read in under 90 seconds.
Trigger Execution
Bought at the level — not at the renewal date.
Position Reporting
Monthly hedged-volume and weighted-average-cost report.
Supplier Tender
Fully transparent, scored on your criteria.
Contract Audit
Pass-through charges, kVA, capacity — all verified.

Zero Supplier Commission
Our fee is on the invoice — never baked into your unit rate.
Taurus restructured a £4.2M procurement portfolio across 87 sites. Inside 14 months, our weighted-average unit rate fell 17.4% against benchmark — and our finance director sleeps at night because she gets a position report on the 5th of every month.
Procurement, plainly.
How is Taurus paid?
Directly by you, on a fixed retainer or fixed project fee. We never accept supplier commission, bonuses, kickbacks, or any uplift inside your unit rate. Our fee is visible on every invoice we send. If you ever discover undisclosed compensation from a supplier, your fee is refunded.
Do we have to leave our current broker or supplier to engage you?
No — but we do recommend reviewing whether your current arrangement contains supplier commissions baked into your unit rates. Many do. We can run that audit before any commitment.
What is the minimum portfolio size you work with?
£100k annual spend is our floor. For flexible procurement specifically, we typically advise £500k+ — below that, fixed or basket strategies usually deliver better risk-adjusted outcomes.
Do you provide gas procurement as well as power?
Yes — NBP gas, with the same tranche-based methodology. For dual-fuel portfolios we typically run the two procurements with coordinated triggers, since gas and power are correlated through gas-fired generation.
How do you handle PPAs and on-site generation?
Power Purchase Agreements (corporate or virtual), on-site solar, CHP, and battery — all of these change your residual demand profile and therefore your procurement strategy. We model these together. Standalone PPA advisory is also available.
What happens if the market moves against the position?
Your Risk Management Mandate defines this in advance — typically with stop-loss triggers and an escalation path to your treasury function. Procurement is risk management, not prediction. We are explicit with clients that no consultant can call the market direction; what we can do is build discipline, capture average-pricing benefits, and avoid worst-case timing.
