Energy Procurement & Energy Management Consulting
The Energy, Utility & Telecommunications practice group has provided extensive assistance to large commercial and industrial purchasers of energy for consumption or resale. The restructuring of public utilities in many states has permitted customers to purchase energy from unregulated or lightly regulated suppliers. Our in-depth understanding of the energy markets and utility delivery systems provides invaluable assistance to the potential client looking for purchasing assistance and contract management. Our lawyers have negotiated with utility companies to reduce energy consumption costs, improve cash flow and create operational efficiencies for the clients. Often, the savings can be dramatic and bottom line profits will increase.
For Business Owners:
Consider for example, a five or ten percent savings on energy costs, which is often the second largest corporate expense behind health care. With all energy consumers facing rising energy costs as state utility commissions are forced to provide utilities with rate increases to keep them in operation, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to protect your company's interest.
We Will:
- Review your utility invoices and look at 12 months of historical usage to determine your volume needs.
- Identify your tariff rate and research other options that you might have either with the utility or with a third party energy marketer.
- Determine if it is possible to form an energy buying consortium to aggregate your interest with others who are similarly situated.
- Negotiate with the utility and determine if there are any special rates or programs that we could access that would save you money or provide you with longer term rate stability.
