We work both sides, on purpose.
Most intermediaries pick an end. We deal with generators looking for offtake and businesses looking for supply, which means we know what the other side will accept before we ask for it.
Francis Carroll
Francis has worked in energy since 2014. He started a business-to-business energy brokerage, and now leads Export Energy’s global PPA advisory.
Most of his work sits where the contract meets the asset and the buyer: deciding what a generator should accept, what a business should sign, and what gets missed in between. He would rather tell a client a deal is not worth doing than close one that will not survive its term.
He believes net zero will be decided in contracts, not in targets. Projects get built when the offtake works, and corporate buyers only stay committed when their clean claims stand up to scrutiny.
What we are
Export Energy is an energy strategy and contract structuring firm. We source, structure and negotiate offtake and supply positions for renewable generators and for organisations that use a lot of energy, in Great Britain and internationally. On-site and off-site, physical and virtual, power and biomethane.
We are small and independent. There is no supplier that owns us and no panel we are obliged to place business with, which is the whole point.
How we work
- Independent
- No ownership by a supplier, generator or developer. Every process is run across the market that will realistically price it.
- Open about who pays
- On supply contracts our commission is shown in the contract itself. On PPAs we are commonly paid by both sides, and both sides are told so before committing.
- Willing to say no
- If the deal in front of you is worse than the one you have, we will tell you, even where that ends the engagement.
- Present after signature
- Settlement checks, indexation reviews and extension planning. The contract is the start of the work, not the end.
- Honest about reach
- Deep in Great Britain, capable across Europe and North America, partnered where we are not local. We will tell you which of those applies to your deal.
Wherever you are in the contract, we can help.
Generators, buyers, and the people advising them. The first conversation costs nothing and usually tells you quickly whether there is anything here.
