Strategic Procurement Excellence

TAILORED ENERGY PROCUREMENT SOLUTIONS

At Broadleaf, we deliver strategic energy procurement solutions for commercial clients with locations across the nation. Our process begins with partnering with carefully vetted suppliers, evaluated for competitive pricing, financial stability, billing efficiency, and contract flexibility—such as the ability to add or remove sites during a contract term. We provide clients with a detailed comparison sheet featuring a point-by-point ranking system, ensuring clarity and confidence in supplier selection.

Energy pricing is complex, with varying supplier approaches to locking, passing through, or adjusting costs. Comparing equivalent offerings can be challenging due to inconsistencies in calculations. Broadleaf simplifies this process, offering expert guidance to achieve true apples-to-apples comparisons and secure cost-effective outcomes aligned with your business goals.

MAXIMIZING VALUE THROUGH COMPETITIVE BIDDING

By engaging Broadleaf, you gain access to highly competitive pricing through our established supplier relationships. Unlike direct negotiations, where limited competition may lead to higher costs, our approach ensures suppliers vie to offer the best rates. This competitive dynamic drives value, delivering customized offers that meet your specific needs.
 
Suppliers are motivated to provide Broadleaf with competitive pricing for two reasons: our significant role in the consultant/broker model and the risk of exclusion from future bidding opportunities if rates are not competitive. This structure ensures we consistently secure optimal pricing for our clients.

YOUR ADVOCATE IN ENERGY PROCUREMENT

When working directly with suppliers, their representatives prioritize their own interests. Broadleaf serves as your dedicated advocate, negotiating terms that prioritize your business needs. Our industry expertise helps identify and avoid unfavorable contract terms, ensuring procurement decisions support your operational and financial objectives. With Broadleaf, you gain a partner committed to simplifying supplier selection and optimizing your energy procurement strategy for long-term success.

How does fuel mix affect futures?

This is a question that your energy procurement partner should know the answer to among many others. The future of energy is changing the dynamics of what was once simple “fixed” or “indexed” pricing. The fuel mix, the customer’s capacity obligations, ongoing infrastructure changes, demand management and many other elements play into the decision process where expertise is now mandatory.  A trustworthy expert will help maximize your savings potential.

NATURAL GAS SUPPLY

The future of gas is changing.

This infographic tells a great deal about the shift in the natural gas market. With the adoption of hydraulic fracturing – or fracking, much more gas is now available.

How does that play into pricing? That will depend on a number of factors. Your partner needs to know the markets, the pipelines, the news, the politics, the industry, the weather, and more in order to be an effective buyer.

Let Broadleaf assist with your natural gas purchasing decisions.
