Procurement strategy and risk control

Contract structures and terms

Procurement contracts vary widely in length, pricing mechanisms (fixed, variable, indexed), and terms. We provide expert review and negotiation support, focusing on transparency, flexibility, and clauses protecting your interests.

Market and counterparty risk

Energy markets are volatile. Our strategies include diversifying the supplier base, hedging options, and incorporating risk-mitigation clauses into contracts to protect against price spikes, supply interruptions, and regulatory changes.

Procurement process

A decision-ready path from qualification to contract

  1. Initial qualification

    30-45 minute discovery conversation covering facility characteristics, current energy management approach, key priorities, and decision-making process. We identify whether our services align with your needs.

  2. Data Review & Scoping

    Start with one recent electricity bill and a short discussion of facilities, load, contract status, and objectives. Once fit is established, we request the historical bills, interval data, registrations, and contract information needed for analysis.

  3. Procurement Strategy Structuring

    Define the appropriate sourcing structure, evaluation criteria, commercial guardrails, certificate requirements, and risk position before contacting suppliers.

  4. RFP Issuance to Qualified Suppliers

    Issue a structured RFP to qualified counterparties, manage clarifications, normalize proposals, and compare pricing, load fit, certificates, credit, flexibility, and material contract terms.

  5. Implementation Support

    Support selection and negotiation based on total value and risk, then establish a clear implementation, registration, and performance-monitoring plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Qualified Supply allows large electricity consumers to purchase power directly from licensed suppliers in the wholesale electricity market (MEM), instead of buying energy solely from CFE Basic Supply. It enables access to competitive pricing, renewable energy, and long-term contracts.
Facilities with a peak demand of 1 MW or higher (or groups of sites aggregated to reach 1 MW) are eligible to become Qualified Users under CRE regulations.
Yes. Renewable energy sourced through Qualified Supply can typically reduce electricity costs by 5–25% compared to CFE Basic tariffs, while also providing long-term price certainty and protection from tariff volatility.
No. Most Qualified Supply contracts are structured as off-balance-sheet PPAs or energy supply agreements, requiring no upfront capital investment from the customer.
Yes. Energy procurement strategies can aggregate multiple facilities and meters nationwide, allowing companies to optimize pricing, standardize contracts, and simplify energy and emissions reporting.
Contracts can include Clean Energy Certificates (CELs) required under Mexican regulation, as well as I-RECs or other international certificates to support global ESG and sustainability reporting.
