Optimising Costs

Energy is one of the largest overheads for many organisations, making effective cost management essential. Our tailored energy procurement solutions help businesses reduce spend and secure long-term stability. By analysing market trends, industry changes and your consumption patterns, we identify the most cost-effective options for your needs – delivering measurable savings and supporting informed decision-making in a volatile market.

The Role of L&C

As trusted energy consultants, we simplify complex procurement processes. Our decades of market experience and a trusted network of suppliers will help you to secure the most competitive rates and contract structures available. We handle market analysis, tendering, negotiation and risk management – ensuring your energy strategy aligns with your business goals and delivers value beyond price alone.

Aligning Procurement with Sustainability Objectives

We help clients procure 100% renewable electricity and low-carbon gas, aligning energy purchasing with corporate ESG and Net Zero objectives. Through transparent, traceable supply agreements backed by recognised schemes, we make it simple to achieve your green energy goals without compromising on reliability or cost.

Energy Under Management

0.7 TWh

This volume is managed across a range of contract structures, predominantly flexible, risk-managed agreements. This scale strengthens L&C’s market position, enhancing our ability to negotiate effectively with suppliers on our clients’ behalf.

TYPES OF ENERGY PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES

Fixed Price Contracts

Fixed price contracts provide cost certainty and budget stability, ideal for businesses seeking protection from market volatility. We negotiate competitive fixed rates and contract terms that reflect your risk appetite, helping you manage exposure while maintaining predictable energy costs.

Flexible Contracts

For organisations seeking greater control and opportunity, flexible contracts allow purchasing to be spread across a number of transactions – reducing risk whilst enabling customers to capitalise on market opportunities. We craft bespoke strategies for all our clients and monitor the market continuously, ensuring your buying strategy is proactive and aligned with your business’s operational profile.

GREEN ENERGY

Incorporating Renewable Energy Sources

We help organisations transition to renewable energy through a range of options – whether sourcing renewable electricity and green gas (both inside and outside of supply agreements), or supporting on-site generation. Our tailored solutions help businesses enhance their ESG performance, reduce emissions, and demonstrate real environmental responsibility.

Navigating Regulatory Compliance

Our green procurement solutions are backed by verified schemes and regulatory standards, such as REGO (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin). This provides the assurance that your renewable energy contracts meet compliance requirements, as well as the transparency and accountability your stakeholders expect.
