When comparing commercial electricity suppliers, people usually only see fixed-rate tariffs. However, there are other ways to source energy that can be around 10 per cent cheaper than traditional standard tariffs. trawa finds the right option and puts it into practice.
Buy electricity like a major corporation
Professional procurement models for commercial electricity consisting of direct electricity contracts (PPAs), forward market products and exchange-traded electricity – were, for a long time, only available to companies with large procurement teams. trawa makes precisely this kind of professional procurement available to your company, without you having to set up your own energy team.

Comparison of options
A comparison of two ways to source electricity
SLP or RLM: How your consumption is measured makes all the difference
Whether you can save money through optimised electricity procurement – and, if so, how much – depends on how your consumption is measured: as a standard load profile (SLP) or via registered load profile measurement (RLM).
With RLM, trawa can combine procurement components such as exchange-traded electricity, direct electricity contracts (PPAs) and forward market products to suit your consumption.
