Energy Procurement“He who lives by the crystal ball is destined to eat ground glass … Between 1979 and 1982, I had eaten enough glass to realize that what was most important wasn’t knowing the future, it was knowing how to react appropriately to the information available at each point in time.”- Ray Dalio, PrinciplesThe ChallengeProcuring energy in an\u00a0unpredictable market\u00a0has become a challenge (and\u00a0savings opportunity) for organizations that are under continuous pressure to reduce costs and risks. Additionally, accurately comparing apples-to-apples prices on\u00a0risk-appropriate\u00a0products while navigating changing legislation can prove time-consuming, overwhelming and, if not done properly, costly. A few things to consider: Do you have expertise to accurately compare competitive pricing? Commodity prices can have additional 10-15 separate ancillary components that are billed differently by different suppliers. Those components can drastically affect your overall spend. Can you get better terms and conditions? What is standard? When is the best time to go out for a new deal? Does third-party supply make sense for your facility At times, the utility is the cheapest option. Are there regulatory changes that may positively\/negatively impact your energy profile.
