Who Do We Choose?
There are several providers to choose from out there and just
as many reasons why the company we recommend you work with is so
critically important and here’s why:
- Financial Strength – Financial strength equates to them being able to buy huge blocks
of energy at bigger savings. It also means they’ll be around for
a long time.
- Energy Management Program – They must have the
ability to help your company manage its energy program by
partnering up with you and their customized procedures that
eliminates the need for broker services & fees. Why spend the
money on extra staffers when they can (and should) do the work for you?
- ISO 9001 Rating – This is a very exclusive rating
which proves a company
has gone the extra mile to service your business with the most
comprehensive and customized billing available.
- Coverage – We want a company that is licensed in
every deregulated state and territory across America. So if your operations span nationwide,
you’ll be able to count on
them being there for you as your needs grow, expand or move.
- Strategic Partnership – We want a company that makes sound, long term decisions when it
comes to saving you
money. Many companies think short term and want you under
contract as quickly as they can put you there. We expect to see
smart timing when it comes to spending your money and investing into your
future. If the market is high, they would still save you money
over the current utility rate, but will buy your energy on the
“spot market” and index you until the market recovers and shows
long term savings before fixing your price. Why save a little
when you can save a lot? They’ll talk with you about trends and
what they think will happen on the trading floor and help you
set trigger points so you won’t need to be bothered when the
market hits your target. We want a company with a very high
retention rate amongst its clientele.
- Going Green – If your company wants any portion of
your energy procurement to be “Green” renewable power, we will
recommend someone who is
the leader in solar, hydroelectric & wind generated electricity
in their marketplace.
- Experience – We want a company that has an incredibly wide range of
expertise with energy consumption for all types of businesses.
Whether you’re a manufacturer, restaurateur, retailer or any
large consumer of power, we can assure you that your new
provider has seen it all and been a
tremendous asset to businesses looking to improve their bottom
line with smarter buying.
- Speed – Certain states open & close their markets
with very small windows of opportunity. A top performing energy
provider should understand
market volatility and timing better than anyone. They must keep
an ear to the rail and notify you when opportunities arise.
They will keep you abreast of important legislation and
conditions that will benefit your company's position. Having a
strong partner when timing is so important will ensure you
get in the market with expedience, especially when time is of
the essence.
