When to lock in and why timing matters for your energy contract

When to lock in and why timing matters for your energy contract

Most businesses know energy prices move around, but not everyone realises how much the timing of your contract can change what you pay.

We’ve seen it first-hand. Two almost identical clients. Same usage, same contract length, even the same supplier. One locked in at the right time. The other waited. The result? Completely different rates.

Why the market moves

Prices respond to what’s happening in the real world. Weather, supply, trade, policy changes. A mild winter can ease prices down. A cold snap with low wind can send them flying up.

We track all of that every day. That’s how we help clients avoid the spikes or take advantage of dips. Sometimes it makes sense to move early. Other times, holding off is better. It all comes down to having the right data in front of you.

Small shifts make a big difference

A 5 percent change in wholesale rates can add thousands to your bill. And that kind of swing can happen in a matter of days. By the time it feels obvious, the moment’s usually passed.

We give clients clear numbers and direct advice so they can act while the window is still open.

Don’t wait until renewal

We can help at any point, but you get the best results when we’re involved early. More time gives you more options. It means we can track the trends, explore the strategy, and lock in at a time that makes sense for your business.

When you’ve got the right support, locking in doesn’t feel like a gamble. It feels like you’re taking control.

We stay ahead of the market so you don’t have to. And when you’re ready to get your timing right, we’ll be ready to help.
