Technology Company Streamlines Energy Procurement Strategy On A Global Scale

With over 100 sites — and an average yearly consumption of 64 million kWh per site — a large technology company realized that they needed to have an aggressive strategy in order to reach 100% renewable energy in Europe and the United States. Challenge Their strategy of managing multiple energy contracts for each site was time intensive, costly, and a complicated administrative undertaking. Not only were these sites in deregulated markets, each had its own contract, contract duration, and up to six internal signatories. The entire process to coordinate and secure an energy contract with multiple suppliers took several weeks and did not ensure consistency between sites. Procuring energy for multiple sites in various countries is a complex initiative which incorporates market research, negotiating cost and reviewing convoluted contracts. With several suppliers and contracts to review, the technology company knew they wanted to streamline the entire process, reduce administrative costs and expand their green energy portfolio. So, they partnered with ENGIE Impact to craft a global strategy at a local level.
