Optimal Purchase
of electricity
and natural gas.
Savings guaranteed thanks to our incisive, collective bargaining model. Odot pools the energy demands of industrial consumers, multi-site companies, SMEs and the self-employed. In order to negotiate the most advantageous energy contracts for each type of consumer with maximum weight. We also monitor the market non-stop in order to fix your tariff at the most favorable price points. The entire Odot approach is naturally tailored to your situation, budget and wishes regarding green energy.
Companies with consumption from 5 to 50,000 MWh per year.
For whom.
Almost 1,000 companies in Belgium already stepped into our purchase model. Result: annual savings of up to 30% on energy costs.
Self-employed
and SMEs.
Did you know that small and medium-sized businesses typically purchase energy at the 3 most expensive rates on the market? That has a big impact on budgets.
By bundling energy requests from multiple companies, Odot strengthens your negotiating position with energy companies. This assures you of terms that no single company can set individually. Moreover, we take care of all the administration. Less time investment, less cost.
Companies with multiple locations.
Companies with different branches often have separate contracts. These are placed with different suppliers and with different rates and often with high and hidden margins. The terms for each branch can also be different, often resulting in a steeply increasing price for energy.
We organize everything, provide insight into your current contracts and help you optimize them. So you keep a clear overview of all the conditions, prices and your consumption - regardless of your supplier. And we ensure that you purchase energy at the lowest price.
Large consumers up to 50,000 MWh.
The share of energy costs within your cost structure is significant. Consequently, optimizing these costs also leads to significant savings. If you want to take advantage of this, you need an expert to bundle your consumption with other large consumers. And takes care of the search, selection and negotiation of energy contracts.
Odot acts as your independent energy trader and energy buyer. We bring expertise into your company that you may not have internally or strengthen your internal experts through close collaboration. We negotiate the most competitive terms for your contract. And take care of market monitoring, negotiations and contract follow-up.
The Odot model
How does the Odot model
work for purchasing electricity and natural gas?
Clustering & Negotiating.
Odot bundles different types of energy consumers into ideal volumes. Thus, we arrive at the start of negotiations with sufficient weight. We only negotiate contracts that:
- Do not include hidden margins and costs
- include a minimum visible margin, so that you recoup our cost at least once. Fact: typically our clients earn it back up to three times!
- Integrate fixed and variable price formulas into one contract.
From the offers of different suppliers, we select the terms that offer maximum benefit for each company. We put all the paperwork in order for you, so you can switch smoothly. Thanks to this approach, you buy almost at wholesale prices.
- Outsourcing energy contract management. In exchange for limited compensation
- Negotiation and continuous management.
Energy contracts for the benefit of client. - Energy supply and billing through the supplier
Acquisition strategy.
Consciously purchasing energy at the lowest price requires a thoughtful strategy.
We combine fixed and variable price formulas within one contract and negotiate the most competitive terms. At Odot, we monitor the evolution of stock market prices. So that we can make the right moves at the right time.
For companies with large consumption, we work closely with your internal departments to determine the optimal purchasing strategy.
Unburdening &
Communications.
Spend less time finding the cheapest energy contract. Odot monitors the market and prices, provides you with clear insights and signals evolutions when they make a difference for you. Moreover, we provide clear answers to all your questions about energy.
Every year you receive a clear report. This gives you insight into the savings you have achieved, the evolution of energy prices, the strategy followed and relevant opportunities.
