Meals On Wheels

How our energy buying and management services helped Meals On Wheels make significant savings.

The client

Meals on Wheels SA is a not-for-profit that has delivered over 50 million meals since 1954. With 84 branches across South Australia, it provides hot meals, social connection, and care services to help people live independently.

The Problem

Existing energy contracts offer little protection against rising prices

Managing energy procurement across 40 plus sites creates unnecessary complexity

Internal resources are stretched, leaving limited capacity to run a competitive procurement process

“The support from Energy Action has helped us make real savings without the complexity. This lets us focus on delivering meals and care across South Australia”

The Solution

Energy Action ran a competitive tender for electricity and gas, inviting offers from multiple retailers. After several negotiation rounds, a major retailer delivered the best electricity offer, cutting annual spend by $47,500. Energy Australia returned with a revised gas offer that boosted savings to $13,275. The combined outcome was a confirmed $60,000 annual saving. All contracts were aligned to a two-year term to simplify management. The strong market engagement and clear reporting gave the client confidence in the process.

By benchmarking one-, two- and three-year offers against prevailing market rates, the team secured a $60,000 in savings.
