Procurement model
enPORTAL connect
For companies with an annual consumption of more than 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity or gas, enPORTAL connect offers the ideal solution. Benefit from daily updated energy data, strong competition from over 700 suppliers and standardised, digital processes that adapt flexibly to developments on the energy markets. With the enPORTAL connect tranche model, you can purchase your energy in several instalments (tranches) at different times. This allows you to react specifically to market developments, utilise opportunities and effectively spread risks. This strategic purchasing model gives you maximum flexibility and planning security - regardless of short-term price fluctuations. Discover how you can organise your energy procurement flexibly, transparently and successfully with enPORTAL connect and tranche purchasing. Secure your competitive advantage now!
When procuring energy via enPORTAL connect, a customised tranche price formula is defined together with the energy supplier as part of the tendering process. This price formula is made up of two main components: the profile surcharge and the base and peak factors.
The ratio between base and peak share is individual and depends on your company's consumption profile. The prices for base and peak bands also vary accordingly. With enPORTAL connect, you have full transparency about these factors and can optimise your energy purchasing strategy to suit your needs.
With our energy platform, you can procure vertical tranches in different sizes - for example, quarterly or monthly. Short-term procurement from the start of delivery is also possible, which can result in different labour prices over the course of the procurement year. Other specifications are also possible, such as vertical tranches with or without a spot market share. We will be happy to discuss these individual options and details with you personally in order to optimise your specific requirements.
With enPORTAL connect, you benefit from a digital energy marketplace with over 700 energy suppliers for your tranche tender. The high level of competition ensures that you receive the best possible tranche price formula at the time of the tender. As with fixed-price procurement, the more energy suppliers you contact, the greater your chance of finding the most favourable supplier for your individual requirements. In this way, you can secure the best conditions and maximum transparency for your energy purchases.

Use Cases
Holger Leschinski
Former Head of Purchasing, Fränkische Rohrwerke
"Gas was negotiated directly with the individual energy suppliers. The load profiles, consumption points and consumption quantities were sent to different suppliers and final negotiations were carried out based on the results. That took about four weeks," says Holger Leschinski. The electricity purchase was similar: "In preparation, a few energy suppliers were asked for an offer and the different energy prices were painstakingly evaluated and compared. The effort was more manageable, but it also took two weeks," adds the energy buyer. He wished for faster processes and greater competition among the suppliers, because: The prices for electricity and gas are traded daily on the stock exchange. The longer the commitment periods, the fewer favourable market opportunities can be seized.
FRÄNKISCHE has been an enPORTAL customer since February 2016. Since all energy data is stored in the cloud, the purchasing manager can contact up to 620 suppliers at short notice via the online portal when market conditions are good. 24 hours later, the offers are available, which are clearly displayed in the automatically generated bidder comparison list. It can be seen at a glance which supplier offers the best energy price. After a two-hour binding period, the contract can be concluded. "It's easy to get an overview of the offers and the price difference is shown to me immediately. From our side, there is little effort behind it and it goes quickly," says Holger Leschinski.
