Tranche Einkauf Strom Gas enPORTAL connect

Customised energy purchasing with the tranche model

With the tranche model of energy procurement, you do not specify the entire energy requirement at a single point in time, as is usual with classic fixed-price purchasing. Instead, you divide your total quantity into several partial quantities - known as tranches - which you can purchase at different times. The diagram opposite shows an example of how four tranches are determined before the start of delivery. As the energy buyer, you have the flexibility to determine the number and timing of the individual tranches. This allows you to react specifically to market developments and customise your purchasing strategy. Compared to fixed-price purchasing, where the entire quantity of energy is procured at a fixed time, the tranche model offers maximum flexibility and the opportunity to spread price risks and optimally utilise market opportunities.

Horizontale Tranche Strom Gas enPORTAL connect 2025

Arrange horizontal tranches with enPORTAL connect

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.

  • Profile impact: The supplier levies a surcharge on the current exchange price to cover the specific requirements of your energy supply.
  • Base and peak factor:
    • The Base factor refers to the base load - i.e. the constant electricity demand of your company over a longer period of time.
    • The Peak factor takes into account the peak load, i.e. the increased electricity demand on working days (Monday to Friday) between 8 am and 8 pm.

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.

Vertikale Tranche Strom Gas enPORTAL connect

Fixing the vertical tranche with the energy platform

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.

Holger Leschinski

Former Head of Purchasing, Fränkische Rohrwerke

Challenge

"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.

Solution

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.
