Energy procurement cohort

Creation of the energy procurement cohort

Our consultants meet with the consortium coordinators or all members to :

• Validate the governance associated with the consortium,
• Define the project roadmap, objectives, and schedule,
• Provide support for communication and member recruitment.

Collecting membership in the cohort

Pulsener offers user-friendly tools and possible resources to manage registrations for electricity and natural gas procurement cohort.

We assist consortium members in :

• Centralizing contractual and administrative data,
• Collecting and enriching technical data from sites,
• Obtaining signed mandates to access site consumption data,
• Obtaining any delegation of authority and mandates.

Upon request, Pulsener provides coordinators with a team able to communicate via email and/or phone with members to facilitate these key steps prior to procurement operations.

Establishment and validation of the procurement scope

Following the previous phases, our consultants will validate the procurement scope to launch operations with energy suppliers.

Tenders for energy procurement cohort

Please visit our dedicated page on energy tendering to explore the various stages of competitive supplier bidding.

Multi-buyer PPA

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) requires a potential offtaker or buyer to have a sufficient electricity consumption volume to become available.

The formation of an energy purchasing cohort offers businesses the opportunity to access such solutions.

Note: Some groups, motivated by reducing CO2 emissions from their scope 3, also encourage their suppliers to join them in forming renewable energy purchasing cohort through PPAs.

As experts in renewable energy procurement and PPA negotiation, as well as in managing purchasing cohort, Pulsener implements PPAs on behalf of groups of companies or organizations interested in this decarbonization lever..

Collective self-consumption

Collective self-consumption is also a decarbonization tool available for a group of companies.

Pulsener supports companies interested in this solution to overcome the technical and administrative constraints often associated with such projects.

Feel free to visit our dedicated page on renewable energy procurement to learn more.

Our energy-focused financial analysis models and services are tailored to the expected formats for purchasing cohort with several thousand members and thousands of sites. Therefore, regardless of the size of your cohort, Pulsener adds value to the teams in charge of business budgets.
