Group power
1Circle is a leader in arranging and achieving collective purchasing of electricity
Purpose
Achieve cheap renewable outcomes for groups and portfolios
We help groups of disparate organisations and/or collectives form a single buying group to achieve the following:
-
- Significantly improved buying power e.g. 10 to 20 times that of acting alone
- Reduced risk
- Reduced transaction costs
- Improved knowledge, capacity and confidence
- A more confident decision

Our process delivers confidence and results
In the first instance we prepare and FORM THE GROUP before applying our five step COMPETITIVE ENERGY PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
Forming the group establishes the buying power, organisation and focus to achieve confident results.
