With multiple energy projects underway, including PV extension and battery storage, a transport company faced increasing complexity in its electricity consumption profile. At the same time, the existing electricity contract was approaching its end and no longer reflected market conditions or future operational needs. 

Without a clear hedging strategy and with limited time to organise a market tender, contract renewal risked becoming a reactive decision rather than a controlled one. 

The objective was clear. 
Enable projects. Secure budget certainty. 

Impact

The intervention delivered clear financial and organisational impact from the first contract year. 

Financial impact 

Annual cost savings of approximately €11 250 
Average electricity cost reduction of around 4,5% 

Risk impact 

Budget certainty achieved, significantly reducing contract and timing risk. 

By quickly introducing structure in market timing, hedging and contract design, we were able to reduce risk while creating room for upcoming PV and battery projects. The electricity contract now supports operational reality instead of constraining it.

Challenge

Several challenges converged. 

  • The contract was approaching its termination date 
  • Pricing conditions were no longer competitive 
  • Upcoming projects such as PV and battery storage had to be structurally integrated 
  • Time constraints prevented the organisation from independently organising a market tender 

The challenge was not only contractual. 
It was about creating a framework that could absorb change. 

Solution

AYA intervened at the level of the electricity contract, focusing on flexibility, risk control and future readiness. 

We managed the tender process, optimised market timing through scenario modelling and restructured the contract to accommodate upcoming energy assets. Hedging advice was aligned with the company’s risk profile, ensuring price stability without limiting strategic freedom. 

The contract evolved from a short term necessity into a supporting instrument for long term energy decisions.
