Aggregate to unlock better pricing
Suppliers price volume and administrative simplicity. Presenting twenty meters as one portfolio typically beats twenty individual negotiations, both on rate and on the amount of internal time consumed.
Align or stagger — deliberately
Aligning all sites to one end date maximises buying power but concentrates risk into a single market moment. Staggering across two or three dates smooths that risk. The right choice depends on how much price volatility your budget can absorb.
Reporting is the control mechanism
A single portfolio report showing site, meter number, supplier, rate, end date and notice deadline turns energy from a recurring surprise into a managed line item. Most overspend in multi-site estates comes from lost visibility, not bad rates.
