A Smarter Approach to Energy Procurement

Most energy advisors focus primarily on the retail marketplace—comparing supplier offers and negotiating contracts. Tradition Energy takes a fundamentally different approach.

Our unmatched scale and experience, industry-leading intelligence, and ability to create greater supplier competition give clients advantages throughout the procurement process. Primary market visibility helps our experts understand the forces shaping energy prices and identify the right time and strategy to act, while our scale and transaction activity create the supplier competition and leverage to execute effectively.

The result is smarter procurement decisions, stronger contract terms, and superior financial outcomes.

Unmatched Scale & Experience

Benefit from resources, reach, and transaction activity other advisors cannot replicate. With 40 years in the energy markets, 1,400+ clients, and $134 billion in energy spend managed, Tradition brings unmatched experience, market perspective, and capabilities to every procurement decision.

Industry-Leading Market Intelligence

Turn primary market visibility into smarter strategy, stronger timing, and better decisions. Tradition market experts combine decades of experience with AI-powered technology to continuously monitor markets, identify risks and opportunities, and deliver timely, client-specific recommendations.

Competition That Creates Leverage

Put Tradition’s scale to work creating greater competition for your business. Our transaction activity and transparent sourcing process drive broad supplier participation—helping create greater negotiating leverage, stronger contract terms, and superior financial outcomes.

Strategic Risk Management

Build a procurement strategy around your objectives—not a single view of the market. We help clients evaluate market exposure, balance cost and risk, and determine when and how to execute based on their objectives and market conditions.

How We Deliver Better Procurement Outcomes

Every procurement decision should be informed by market intelligence, disciplined analysis, and competitive supplier engagement. Our proven methodology brings these capabilities together in a transparent, structured process designed to create greater competition, strengthen negotiating leverage, and deliver smarter procurement decisions.

1

Understand Your Objectives

We begin by understanding your organization’s financial objectives, procurement priorities, risk tolerance, sustainability objectives, and operational requirements.

2

Analyze Your Energy Profile

Our team evaluates historical usage, utility invoices, existing contracts, market exposure, and operational data to establish a baseline and identify procurement opportunities.

 

3

Develop Your Procurement Strategy

Using forward-looking market intelligence and your organizational objectives, we develop a customized procurement and risk management strategy that determines when, how, and what to procure.

Create Supplier Competition

Through our proprietary Tradition Energy Procurement System (TEPS), suppliers compete through a standardized, transparent process designed to create greater competition and negotiating leverage on your terms.

TEPS normalizes supplier offers so that pricing, cost components, contract terms, and risk can be evaluated accurately and transparently. Our experts then provide an independent recommendation based on your objectives and the documented competition.

 

6

Negotiate & Execute

Our procurement specialists negotiate commercial terms, finalize supplier agreements, and manage implementation to help ensure a seamless transition and successful execution.

 

7

Benchmark & Measure Performance

We benchmark procurement results against market conditions and your organization’s objectives to evaluate performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

Energy markets continually evolve. We provide ongoing market intelligence, portfolio monitoring, and strategic advisory support to identify new opportunities, manage market risk, and optimize procurement performance over time.

Procurement

The Right Procurement Strategy Depends on Your Objectives—Not a Single View of the Market

Fixed Price

Lock in energy prices for a defined term to provide budget certainty and protection against market volatility. Fixed-price contracts are often well-suited for organizations seeking predictable energy costs and financial stability.

Allow energy prices to fluctuate with market conditions, providing direct exposure to wholesale market pricing. This approach offers flexibility and potential savings opportunities but requires a greater tolerance for market risk.

Combine fixed and market-based purchasing approaches to balance risk and opportunity. By spreading purchases over time, organizations can reduce market timing risk while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing conditions.

Renewable energy products and structures can be incorporated into a broader procurement strategy to advance sustainability objectives while managing financial performance.
