An intermunicipal public utility operating as a central purchasing body for multiple public partners needed to secure new electricity and natural gas contracts for the 2027–2029 period. Acting within a strict public procurement framework, the organisation combines cost responsibility with a high level of governance and accountability. 

Impact

Financial impact

  • 18% cost reduction on pricing formula

Risk impact

  • Risk exposure remained controlled within predefined governance boundaries.
  • We model, we roll out, we operate so your energy stays in control.

AYA helped understand the stakes of energy contracts ownership and tailored a solution to optimise energy costs.

Challenge

Several constraints had to be balanced:

  • As a public utility, the organisation had to follow a transparent tender procedure 
  • The existing contract structure limited price competitiveness 
  • There was a need for more flexibility to leverage market opportunities without increasing unmanaged risk 

The challenge was to align competitiveness, flexibility and public governance in one coherent contract strategy. 

Solution

AYA supported the organisation throughout the full public tender process for electricity and gas. 

We structured technical specifications, price formulas and market timing within clearly defined risk boundaries. Contract restructuring enabled competitive pricing while preserving flexibility and full compliance with procurement rules. 

Results

  • Competitive contracts secured within governance constraints
  • Price formulas allow controlled exposure to market volatility
