Transport company reduces electricity costs by 4.5% and strengthens budget control

results

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.  

Impact

Financial impact 

  • Average electricity cost reduction of around 4,5% 

Risk impact 

  • Budget certainty achieved, significantly reducing contract and timing risk.

Impact

Financial impact 

  • Average electricity cost reduction of around 4,5% 

Risk impact 

  • Budget certainty achieved, significantly reducing contract and timing risk. 

By introducing structure in market timing, hedging and contract design, we were able to reduce risk while creating room for upcoming PV and battery projects.

Challenge

  • 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 

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. 

Results

  • Annual cost savings of approximately €11 250 
  • Average electricity cost reduction of around 4,5% 
  • Budget certainty achieved, significantly reducing contract and timing risk.
