Electricity Solutions
Procuring and managing electricity rates and costs is a core part of commercial energy strategy. Developing an energy purchasing and management approach is a measure of risk tolerance.
Fixed rates can secure a set price per unit when budget certainty matters. Indexed rates have performed well over the years and, depending on current natural gas futures contract pricing, can show historical rates below current fixed-rate offers. Indexed rates can be converted to fixed rates at strategic times. Hybrid approaches offer a middle ground. Momentum helps match fixed, indexed, and hybrid products to your budget priorities and outlook.
Natural Gas Solutions
Natural gas transportation describes how customers can take competitive supply from a natural gas marketer that tailors a price structure to a company's specific consumption needs.
Many companies remain on default tariff rates designed for broad customer classes. Understanding the layout of pipeline companies, which marketers serve your area, and the tariff rules for local distribution companies can make a significant difference in what your company pays for natural gas.
Demand Side Management
Demand side energy management reduces the amount of energy consumed through strategies to cut back, curtail, and reduce consumption—capturing savings from lower use and from rebate programs that reward efficient and timely use (or reduced use) of energy.
To reduce consumption during critical peak demand periods, many states have monetized programs. Our work helps commercial clients evaluate curtailment strategies and, where available, participation in programs that reward reduced load or backup generation.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency includes a host of disciplines that together reduce and optimize energy consumption in a sustainable, financially beneficial way. Because the field is broad, a holistic review of available options matters.
Opportunities can include retro-commissioning or retrofits, power factor studies, behavioral conservation programs, and Energy Star benchmarking, along with guidance on financing and grants where relevant.
Tax Exemption and Rebates
Many states grant tax-exempt status to manufacturers and a variety of other companies. We pursue exemption savings opportunities aligned with applicable state tax codes. In addition to achieving tax-exempt status, many states provide a process to recover past utility sales taxes that have been paid.
The process typically begins with a qualifying assessment and, if eligible, may be followed by an engineering study that supports tax-exempt status with professional documentation.
Billing & Tariff Analysis
Understanding how customers consume energy is the starting point of our process. Whether you use energy at a steady rate year-round or primarily in cold winters or hot summers makes a considerable difference in which options fit best.
Analysis of billing and consumption helps ensure meters are categorized in the proper rate classes and calibrated to actual energy consumption, so tariff and billing issues can be identified early.
