Co-op Power, the UK’s largest co-operative energy buying group, has relaunched its operations with an expanded offering aimed at helping businesses reduce costs and procure renewable energy more sustainably, the company said on Monday.
The group, which manages energy procurement for the Co-op’s own operations, said it would now extend its services to external organisations looking for ethical and cost-efficient energy solutions.
“As the biggest Co-op in the UK, we buy power for our own business, and we decided to use our buying power to help other like-minded businesses save money and source energy in an ethical and sustainable way,” said Imran Rasul, chief procurement officer at Co-op.
Co-op Power has managed energy across a range of major facilities, including its Biggleswade distribution centre, which the company cited as an example of large-scale sustainable operations.
The relaunch comes after a two-year internal reform programme, during which the group enhanced its energy hedging strategy and expanded its use of corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
The updated service now includes consultancy and procurement support across four key areas: green energy strategy design, flexible purchasing options, portfolio and billing management, and dedicated account management.
“We’ve redesigned our approach to make Co-op Power stronger and more resilient than ever,” Rasul said. “This isn’t just about buying energy; it’s about co-operating to create value for businesses, communities, and the planet.”
The relaunch reflects a broader trend among UK companies seeking to manage energy volatility while aligning with long-term decarbonisation goals.
