Why use the WSA Procurement Portal and the 2buy2 Energy Basket?
The WSA Procurement Portal for Sport and Leisure provides members with access to more affordable, green energy, powered by our partners and procurement specialists 2Buy2.
Why 2Buy2’s Energy Basket through the Procurement Portal?
The 2buy2 energy basket combines the energy spend of multiple organisations into a single, larger volume of consumption. This collective buying power allows access to wholesale energy markets, that you don’t get with traditional fixed-term contracts.
While many organisations understand the benefits of purchasing energy through wholesale markets, they often lack the annual kWh volume to access these opportunities directly. By pooling like-minded customers into a single group, 2Buy2 create sufficient volume to trade on wholesale energy markets using a risk-managed approach, delivering better value for everyone involved.
By pooling energy demand with other organisations, you gain:
- Greater buying power – access to wholesale energy rates.
- Hedged pricing – shielding you from market volatility, ensuring more stable and predictable costs by spreading energy purchases overtime.
- Expert management – no need to negotiate contracts alone.
100% Green Energy: Supporting Your Sustainability Goals
The 2buy2 energy basket offers 100% green electricity as standard, helping you meet sustainability targets and reduce your carbon footprint.
They also provide an option for 100% green gas (subject to availability), ensuring your entire energy consumption is from renewable sources.
