 Green Options & Demand-side Management
Green Options & Demand-side Management has brought forth new layers of complexity to the North American Energy Markets. NACC has found that many Companies are now struggling with these areas as many are feeling the need to offset and reduce their Energy footprint, but cannot allocate the resources necessary to do so and make an informed decision. While this has become the socially responsible thing to do, there are many options and different ways to achieve the similar results. Like Energy Risk Management, NACC will meet with you and assist in facilitating the best option to meet your needs. It is important that you have a full understanding of where your investment into these areas is going; transparency is paramount. As part of NACC’s account management services, our experts on staff will guide you through the process of identifying which green options are in line with your corporate objectives in a realistic and actionable approach.

 Someone won’t show up unexpectedly at your door – with a good offer.
What makes up a good price? This is a question NACC often receives, however we have found that many generic offerings do not bring transparency to the table. A retail offering can not necessarily be compared to a brokers offering as there are many variables such as balancing etc… that must be taken into consideration. The results have been Companies signing contracts and later finding that they are paying more due to being pooled, having to balance, overbuying, etc… A good price is not a boiler-plate agreement. A good price is the direct result of having a professional team understanding your usage patterns, your concerns, your objectives, and advising you of any risks you may be taking on, and then facilitating the option you choose while keeping all of these items in mind. No one that sells energy does it for free.

 The risk of launching a RFP
A typical RFP is not an effective way to purchase energy, but sometimes an RFP is company policy. NACC can show you how to ensure your RFP is truly an accurate representation of what YOU need from an energy supplier. Simply put, requesting proposals for Energy attracts everyone who earns margin selling Energy. Energy resellers and Wholesalers will all compete to provide you with the best price per unit, some will even go as far as to disguise their offer as ‘customized’ or ‘based on your objectives’. Understand your risk and exposure prior to an RFP. Understand your exact requirements. Would you like to know more? Click here. The fact is your business will pay the least amount for your Electricity or Natural Gas based on a customized strategy developed by someone who works for you - someone who adds zero margins on the commodity. Paying less for energy goes far beyond the lowest rate per unit. You aren’t purchasing widgets, your buying strategy goes far beyond the price per unit, and the single most important facet of this process is defining and executing a strategy that reduces your exposure and reduces your Energy expenditure. Licensed Energy Retailers are compensated on selling Energy, that’s why they typically try and sell you as much as they can for as long as they can.

 North American Commodity Consultants Inc. is privately owned, and our only source of revenue is our Clients. We are in no way compensated on selling you Energy .
"In this complex Energy marketplace, the need for truly unbiased advice is paramount. Obtaining Energy purchasing advice from a Company that sells Energy is risky business.” The best option is, and always will be, customized strategies based on how you use your energy and industrial commodities. This will ensure you minimize your risk, as many companies enter into arrangements and increase their exposure by over-buying. Would you like to know more? Click here. Generic fixed rate programs or block purchasing strategies generated by energy resellers are NOT your best option. Strategies need to be generated by experts that work for you. A price per kWh or m3 is only a small part of what it takes to save on your costs. The lowest price is crucial, but equally as important is your buying strategy. NACC uses proprietary software systems to run scenarios based on YOUR business, and generate strategies that look surprisingly different from the typical strategies recommended by energy resellers. NACC's Proprietary Software Analysis: NACC has developed proprietary software that calculates our Client risk and exposure in an extremely detailed fashion. Effective Risk Management is born from a non-biased point of view. NACC's sole purpose in every aspect is to minimize Energy & Commodity costs and Market Exposure; NACC does not profit from the sale of Energy . NACC's recommendations take into account our Analysis, your Corporate Objective, and the details illustrated through our proprietary software. This means that the customized options generated by NACC offer our Client much less risk and exposure which results in more opportunities to benefit when compared to out-of-the-box offerings. Fact is, "Now" is not always a good time to consider a fixed price option. Would you like to know more? Click here. |
