Never miss a market move. Keep all your options open. Keep your eyes on the impact of the market all the time with MarketPro’s Rate Watch

If you need to buy, monitoring the price of all your potential contract options is vital. With your contracts based on a dynamically constantly changing market, you need a computer-like brain to keep track of how the underlying future markets and off futures activity affect you. Finally, you have one – MarketPro’s Rate Watch.

As a Commercial or Industrial customer, your electricity is priced more like insurance than petrol. And it’s constantly changing because of the energy markets. Don’t miss out when the market moves any longer.

Your unique consumption profile and your future unknown potential consumption drive the cost of your electricity. Use more during peak times, and your average price may be higher than your neighbour’s business even though you may use precisely the same amount of electricity. Your electricity price is unique and special. Due to a constantly changing market, your next contract’s potential price is also constantly changing.

Created by a mathematician, computer scientist and software patent author, Alan Jones, AECO Energy’s MarketPro has an exclusive price estimation system called Rate Watch that continuously simulates every MarketPro customer’s next contract price based on the dynamic electricity market. Rate Watch gives MarketPro customers accurate estimates of their next 3, 6, 12 and 24-month contract options when the market trade data becomes available.

You are in control. You know what the market is doing for your next contract without ever having to run a tender or do a reverse auction or even ask for a quote.

The MarketPro and Rate Watch pricing information provides you the secret edge to catch every market move. At last, you have the power.

Start saving today; see buying opportunities without ever having to lift a finger.

Choice of any contract length: 3 to 24 months, limited only by the length of your subscription and your imagination

You have the power to determine how long your next contract can be. You have the control. From 12 months to 48 months, limited only by the length of your MarketPro subscription and your imagination, you can choose how long your next contracts should be. Don’t like 12 months? Change it. 24-month contract seems cheaper than 6-month contract? No problem. Want to buy in lots of 3 or 4 ×3-month contracts? Do it! You are in control.

You set the rules. Let MarketPro do the monitoring with automatic Rate Watch Action Triggers.

You need to act fast to take advantage of price movements. With Rate Watch Action Triggers, you can tell MarketPro to notify you by email when prices for any of your Rate Watch forward contracts cross trigger levels, with up or down. Depending on your subscription level, you can even automatically initiate a buying cycle and set electricity retailers chasing your business for definite contract offers, all without lifting a finger.

You set the rules and let MarketPro monitor the market. Get Notified or Start to Buy – all without lifting a finger.

MarketPro empowers your buying process with best practice automated tender and reverse auction electricity buying methods.

12 to 60 months subscription. Choose what you want. Save how you want.

MarketPro can start with a full demo of the platform to make the buying decision easier for you. And then, choose the plan you want to have based on your level of electricity consumption, and you can choose the features and contract lengths offered that best suit your business. Start with a one-month plan, and then upgrade whenever you want.

Once you sign-up, you can upload your current contract and your last 12 months of electricity bills to populate your consumption profile to kick-off the Rate Watch engine. Our Customer Service team will check everything, set-up your account with your initial contract and profile, and notify you when you are fully enabled.

If you are too busy and are happy to wait a little while, you can even authorise us to contact your existing electricity retailer to get the data for you. How easy is that?

You may also get access to a demo account to see the full functions that are available before you subscribe. 

Our Customer Service team is happy and always available to assist you during business hours, that’s Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 5pm.

Manage 10, 20, 100, 300++ separate contracts and buying opportunities with a single interface

When managing costs across multiple countries and markets and managing hundreds of sites and separate arrangements, having a simple, powerful interface and visibility of costs is essential. With MarketPro Enterprise Edition, you will have a single powerful platform to manage your current contracts and grab future buying opportunities in any market.

Identify and pool sites together for bids based on load profile

To get lower pricing offers for specific load profile types, MarketPro Enterprise Edition’s automatic profile pooling will group your sites within a market with similar load profiles. These can be taken into a buying cycle with a reverse auction or tender to garner lower prices with retailers that best matches that kind of profile – no need to guess or assign manually. Just click and run. Let’s make MarketPro Enterprise Edition run the math.

Automatically manage both Tenders and Reverse Auctions of pools of sites

Managing future contracts across hundreds of sites in a single market becomes easy when you manage the pooling of sites and contracts. Rather than take a single site to market, with MarketPro Enterprise Edition, you can group the sites into a single pool and then plan and acquire energy contracts for that pool within a buying cycle. With a single click, Rate Watch Action Triggers can be applied to pools with multiple contracts analysed across pools containing hundreds of sites with a single click. Simplify and manage.

Never miss a contract renewal again. Workbench dashboard with contract expiry alerts.

With visibility of all your enterprise contracts and sites across multiple countries, markets and suppliers, you will never have a site that goes out of contract again with continuous monitoring and alerts. You can even pre-empt a contract expiry with automatic buying cycles starting when a contract approaches its expiry. 

You never have to worry about missing a contract across your organisation.

Renewable Energy Bundles. Lower your renewable energy costs with a bundled and planned SustainPro option.

With complete visibility of your electricity consumption and usage, you can integrate a SustainPro contract into MarketPro Enterprise Edition and plan and acquire Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to meet your sustainability goals.

You can plan, manage and acquire RECs with both year-on-year purchases and SustainPro futures contracts of pre-arranged REC supply from a single, simple-to-use platform.

The ultimate sustainability and energy management solution for your enterprise.
