Market Dojo has adapted a large lotting structure which was originally created with energy suppliers in mind. The advanced lot structure allows for multiple components, multiple line items and multiple totals. The line items could be used for different sites and meter readings. The components can be used to collect day rates, night rates, standing charges and capacity charges. the multiple totals can look at different scenarios. We even developed Unit of Measure sets so suppliers will be able to bid in their preferred UoM set such as Kilowatt Hour or Gigawatt Hour.
The liquidity here will greatly depend on the size of your spend. The energy market tends to be dominated by very large suppliers who often will refuse to actively take part in an Event unless the spend is attractive to them. However, you can often negotiate with energy brokers on their behalf to take part in events and ensure competitive bidding. Remember to talk to them and use the process as a sales opportunity; this can always help to get one more participant on board in a category where there may not be many possibilities. Look to break the requirement into several Lots as discussed above to get maximum liquidity in each area.
As previously mentioned, the energy market can be highly competitive and one in which can fluctuate heavily. We suggest negotiating with suppliers through a Reverse Auction to maximise competition ensuring that you are purchasing your energy prices at market value.
Although suppliers can often take part in auctions or eSourcing events, ensure that they are aware of how to use the eSourcing platform software before the event. Our system is specifically designed to make it easy and allows suppliers to bid in their preferred formats.
