Since "Absatz" has about a trillion meanings and since this appears to be a term specific to utility provision (also used in the field of electricity provision), can anyone - preferably who works in the field - give me an exact rendering of this term?
Context for you:
"Die konkrete Ausgestaltung unserer Vereinbarung orientiert sich dabei an Ihrem Absatzportfolio."
I might well have some more terms in the next few hours. The text itself is mostly general marketing/contractual stuff, but has a few specialized terms now and then.

consumption profile, use profile
IMO it literally means 'sales profile' as seen from the perspective of the supplier (how much they sell to the customer), but here it's more usual in English to word this from the persective of the customer (esp. given the possessive form: *your* profile).

something like "range of services you offer".
The term Absatz is used as a general term for what can be sold (i.e. gas and electricity in ths case).
Not being a native speakter, I'm not clear about whether "service" is appropriate in the context of utility provision.

range of products and services
...if the term has been properly used in the German source, it describes the amount of products and services (in units) (to be) sold - in contrast to *sales*, which stands for the turnover made with sold products and services (in Euros, USD etc.)
--> thus, *range of products and services* would be correct, which is also used in a gas business context (see British Gas reference)

Discussion
Thanks for the note. The party "speaking" is the utility company. The "Ihrem" refers to a potential customer, whose "Absatzportfolio" is the subject of my query.
More context:
"Wie könnte ein Vertrag für Sie in der Praxis aussehen? Wir beliefern Sie mit Ihrem gesamten Jahresbedarf an Erdgas. Die konkrete Ausgestaltung unserer Vereinbarung orientiert sich dabei an Ihrem Absatzportfolio."
