Unlocking Value and Efficiency in Energy Procurement
Over the past few years, energy prices have witnessed significant increases. With Net Zero commitments and the global decarbonisation of economies gaining momentum, these upward trends are expected to accelerate. In the face of current market volatility and rising non-commodity costs, having a clear purchasing strategy aligned with your business objectives is now more crucial than ever
At E2, we offer comprehensive electricity, gas, fuel oil, and water procurement solutions. Leveraging our extensive experience in both wholesale and retail utilities, we provide diverse procurement options and a wide range of value-added services. Our approach to procurement is an integral part of E2's 360° ethos, which encompasses Total Energy Management and integrates risk and demand strategies to achieve optimal cost reductions.
Our Procurement Approach
We provide a turnkey solution to your procurement strategy, encompassing tendering, contract administration, budget forecasting, and ongoing invoice validation services. Our expertise is particularly beneficial for clients with large property portfolios. Additionally, we offer an array of value-added services, including forensic analysis, change of tenancy management, new connections, meter upgrades, and the implementation and management of automated monitoring and targeting systems.
Here's how our procurement process works:
- Procurement Strategy: Our analysts develop a tailored strategy based on your objectives, whether it's achieving budget certainty, improving budget performance, price optimisation, or a combination of these goals.
- Tendering and Market Testing: We prepare your portfolio for tender and evaluate market pricing and supplier interest to secure the most favorable contracts when market conditions are favourable.
- Contract Fixation: Once market conditions are favourable, we oversee the full transition of incoming and outgoing suppliers, ensuring a smooth transfer and prompt resolution of any transfer-related issues.

Green Contracts
Sourcing green energy solutions is becoming increasingly important. At Johnson Controls, we understand the importance of environmental responsibility and offer comprehensive options tailored to your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) considerations. With a preference for low carbon solutions, we guide you towards electricity generated without burning fossil fuels. This includes biomass, wind, solar, hydro, and other sustainable sources.
Today, green energy can be on par or even cheaper than traditional brown energy. Using Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates, we work closely with suppliers to source specific sources of energy to help you achieve carbon neutrality.
To support your Net Zero ambitions, we can exploit Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which allow us to source energy directly from generators such as PV or wind farm owners. This approach offers numerous benefits, including price certainty through longer contract terms and negotiated pricing.
Electricity Contracts
At Johnson Controls, we simplify the complexities of the energy market and provide you with the knowledge to make informed decisions. With our expertise, we secure the most suitable and cost-effective electricity contracts at the optimal time, ensuring your budget security and competitive advantage.
Choose from three contract types:
- Fixed Contracts: Enjoy budget predictability with agreed-upon energy prices for a specific duration.
- Flexible Contracts: Unlock savings by fixing non-commodity costs and adapting to changing wholesale prices.
- Variable Contracts: Track the market for potential rewards while being aware of cost spikes.
Our dedicated analysts guide you through contract options to meet your objectives and allow us to shape a greener future together.
Gas Contracts
Unlike electricity, gas prices closely follow the ever-moving wholesale market, influenced by factors such as crude oil prices and temperature fluctuations. Johnson controls can help you navigate this intricate landscape and unlock the most favourable gas contracts for you.
We understand that the sheer variety of gas contract offers can be overwhelming. That's why we're dedicated to demystifying the complexities and providing you with clear guidance. Our expertise empowers you to secure contracts that align perfectly with your needs, ensuring you benefit from the best possible prices.
Johnson Controls recognise the importance of sustainability in today's world. That's why we consider green options when purchasing gas. Whether it's carbon offsetting in accordance with the Kyoto protocol or sourcing the greenest gas derived from farm waste methane, we help you make environmentally conscious choices without compromising on cost-effectiveness.
Water Contracts
From our perspective, this deregulation is a long-awaited revolution, disrupting the monopolistic water supply industry. The changes provide us with a variety of opportunities, including enhanced customer service, streamlined billing, and a wide array of value-added services like smart metering. As competition intensifies, you can expect tangible benefits such as reduced costs, unlocking significant savings for your business.
Through our in-depth expertise and unwavering commitment to maximising your water strategy, Johnson Controls can empower you to harness the full potential of this transformative change.
