Unlocking the Power of Group Energy Procurement for SIBA Members

For businesses in the brewing industry, managing rising costs while meeting sustainability goals can feel like pushing beer uphill. Unpredictable energy prices and pressures to reduce carbon emissions mean brewers are facing challenges from all sides. But what if there was a way to not only cut costs but also align your business with the UK's growing demand and need for Net Zero progress?

This where the Energy Oasis group green energy deal for the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) can offer hope. An exclusive green energy solution designed specifically independent brewers. Why settle for opaque energy deals when you can switch to a tailored renewable energy contract that aligns with your values and supports sustainability? With a group deal SIBA members gain access to competitive rates, reduced carbon emissions, and a dependable energy partner committed to a greener future. 

With over 50 years of collective expertise in renewable energy and energy efficiency, Energy Oasis are offering SIBA members this group energy procurement plan that promises lower costs, greater operational efficiency, and a tangible path to achieving Net Zero goals.

Why Group Energy Procurement Is a Game-Changer

At the heart of the SIBA and Energy Oasis collaboration is the concept of group energy procurement. With SIBA now giving the go-ahead for a group deal for their North East regional members, this initiative is set to deliver real value. Instead of individual businesses navigating the complexities of energy contracts on their own, this model allows the group—SIBA members in this case—to band together as a collective purchasing power. Energy Oasis will align contract end dates to 30th September 2027, tendering the ‘SIBA group portfolio’ for power and gas to all major UK suppliers.

 

  • Energy suppliers often offer lower rates to large buying groups than to individual businesses. For brewers, this can mean noticeable savings on energy bills. By aligning contract end dates to 30th September 2027, Energy Oasis will tender the SIBA group portfolio at the optimal time, ensuring members lock in the best prices. We also monitor market trends and provide weekly tracker updates to help SIBA members avoid peaks and take advantage of dips. This ensures you’re not overpaying for energy.

  • Energy contracts can be tricky, with terms like “non-commodity charges” and fluctuating rates. We simplify the process by handling tenders, finding the best deals, and managing procurement for the group. This saves time and lets SIBA brewers focus on what they do best.

  • Group energy procurement isn’t just about saving money—it’s about sustainability. SIBA members can access 100% renewable electricity backed by Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates. If your brewery is considering biogas, we offer carbon-offset gas from sustainable sources like anaerobic digestion. For those ready to invest further, options like solar installations or battery storage systems are available to help align your business with a Net Zero future.

  • Stability is critical in an industry with tight margins. A fixed group energy deal provides members with budget certainty, allowing them to plan long-term investments without fear of price volatility.

 

Think of it as strength in numbers. By pooling resources, SIBA members gain access to competitive rates and greater bargaining power with energy suppliers. Energy Oasis will tender the group portfolio to all major UK electricity and gas suppliers, leveraging supplier options such as free AMR rollout and wide volume tolerances. We step in as the expert negotiator, ensuring the collective secures the best green energy deal possible.

A Step Toward Net-Zero Goals

Consumers and stakeholders are increasingly demanding that companies step up and contribute to a more sustainable future. Fortunately, the SIBA-Energy Oasis collaboration gives independent brewers to invest in a green future.

Energy Efficiency

We don’t stop at procurement. We also provide clients actionable measures to optimise their energy use. The greenest kilowatt is always the one you save.

Aligning with Net-Zero Goals

For breweries looking to make a statement and show their commitment to sustainability, this is an undeniable opportunity to align with nationwide goals.

Lower Carbon Footprint

Switching to renewable energy sources significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. By using 100% green electricity and exploring carbon-offset gas options, each SIBA member contributes to a collective carbon reduction.

The Power of Collective Action

When an entire group like SIBA commits to renewable energy, the ripple effects go beyond individual savings. It sends a powerful message to energy suppliers and the broader market, pushing the industry toward greener and more sustainable practices.
