Are you saving the most that you can on energy?

Our services

 

We develop and execute an energy supply strategy that is optimal to your financial and operational objectives. Financial objectives include risk tolerance, budget requirements and schedules, and putting energy in its proper perspective as a share of operating expenses. Operational objectives include matching the supply strategy to the potential variables in your business, considering the value and operational impacts of curtailment programs and never getting caught by surprise.

Electricity

We have one of the largest supplier bases in the industry coupled with an extensive portfolio of clients which keeps our suppliers competing aggressively. We offer four different electricity supply strategies to meet your needs.



Invoice Audits

Our comprehensive auditing service includes validation of all charges and line items, ensuring taxes were applied correctly, bandwidth charge review (suppliers & consultants often get this wrong!), and handling disputes with suppliers.

Natural Gas

From large industrial to smaller commercial locations, we have helped clients move from take-what-you-get utility tariffs to the more dynamic competitive market. We even work with clients’ national energy management staff to achieve local savings by optimizing supply strategies to complement national risk-management strategies. From large to small, if you’re not sure whether you’re getting a good deal, or whether your location can even source competitive gas supply, send us a bill copy and we’ll let you know whether savings are available.

Contract Management

Working with us means we’ll track volumetric performance and changes to avoid bandwidth penalties. We’ll also actively managing supply positions on heat-rate or block-index strategies, while using strike-price strategies to continually drive your costs down. We benchmark performance to comparison strategies/state averages, evaluate cost/benefit of early termination, and facilitate adding/removing meters from your contract.

Four Basic Electricity Supply Strategies

Fixed Price: Most common supply approach, Ideal for budget certainty, Not necessarily the “low cost” or even the “low risk” solution

Spot Price: Also known as “LMP”, Lowest expected cost, High price volatility

Heat Rate: Can beat Spot Price in ideal conditions, provides opportunity to convert quickly to fixed price based on transparent natgas futures

Block-Index: Not offered “off the shelf.” Better suited to larger clients as a means to buy wholesale power and drive costs substantially lower than standard pricing structures.
