Competitive Supply Management
In a deregulated market, it's important to understand your local supply options and select the best supplier to meet your needs. Whether it's electricity, natural gas, or other fuels we can help you better manage the supply options that are available for each of your facilities.
We'll handle the entire process from identifying the best suppliers to managing a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), when necessary. This process will include an analysis of those critical factors important to your business. In addition, we know who all of the best suppliers are and we understand how to assess market timing risks associated with supply contracts.
Regulated Tariff Analysis
Energy costs can be complicated even in a regulated market. Utility companies are not obligated to identify tariff options and development credits that you may be eligible for so we do the research for you. We identify alternative tariffs, tax exemptions, rebates, and economic development opportunities that may bring you savings and rebates.
Utility Information Management & Reporting
We transform your energy data into insight that we help you use for making better decisions. We get your bills directly from the supplier and audit them to ensure accuracy of the unit price and review them for taxes and late payment fees.
The data is entered into a database, enabling us to generate monthly reports that will identify trends and comparative analysis related to facility consumption, peak usage, cost per unit of production, and many other areas that will help identify conservation or supply issues. In the end, your decisions will be based hard facts.
Risk Management & Budget Consulting
Every day of every week, we proactively monitor and track the NYMEX, deregulated electric markets, greenhouse gas news, and many other energy related trends and markets that could impact the purchased cost of energy. We look at supply and demand trends, as well as weather related factors affecting risk. We will put our insight to work for you to develop recommendations for short, medium & long-term price risk management strategies and for annual budgeting assistance.
Utility Infrastructure Consulting
Facility expansion and new construction brings with it a different set of issues that most companies are not familiar with. We'll work on your behalf to make sure the local utility is not over charging you for sub-stations, line extensions, and other services that your facility requires to bring the right energy solution to the property. We analyze all planned and past utility projects to determine if the pass through costs from the utility are fair and reasonable. To identify and negotiate potential reductions in your tax liability, we analyze the Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC) taxes, which can be 20-25% of the total cost of your project.
