Power Systems Group reduces your energy
costs by working to lower utility infrastructure charges you
pay for the energy you consume. Energy is a commodity
and you have options available regarding your sources of
energy supply.
Power Systems Group's energy consulting
program management begins with analysis of the cost of
electricity delivery infrastructure, which is approximately
the same as the delivery system for natural gas, and the
cost stratification among various providers is more or less
equally distributed among the:
-
energy commodity supplier
(generator or gas source)
-
transporter of the commodity across
state lines
-
local distribution utility company
that supplies power to your business and provides local
services
It is well known that the largest price
on a power or gas bill comes from suppliers of local
distribution services – namely the utility. The costs can
sometimes be 2-3 times the cost of interstate
transportation, due to the socialist funding mechanisms that
provide oversight for the local distribution companies.
Public Service Commissions across the
country attempt to equally distribute aggregate system-wide
costs over each unit of gas or electricity consumed by
business, so companies that receive no direct benefit from a
new industry coming to town must still pay for the delivery
infrastructure used to supply the new business with
electricity and gas. Local fees for gas delivery can 10-20%
of the total cost of delivered gas and the situation in the
cost of energy is becoming similarly burdensome.
Power Systems Group program management
typically first works to understand the actual costs
associated with the delivery of a company’s electricity and
gas to their location and the options available for
alternate supply of electricity and gas, as well as optional
fuels that will serve the same requirements of your
facility. Those costs are then compared and a strategy for
using them to leverage the cost of the existing delivery
method down to more reasonable levels is developed.
Power Systems Group then presents the
energy consulting methodology designed to put significant
downward pressure on utility pricing to your facility energy
management team and develops a joint plan for making
the utility aware of the options your facility has at its
disposal for doing business without use of their service.
When presented with the realistic
option of losing a large facility’s revenue and throughput
of gas or electricity, most utilities will negotiate and
lower their price to meet the alternatives. |
