A Pennsylvania manufacturer had a huge problem – totally invisible to them.They engaged a broker to get them the best natural gas supply deal. But instead of getting the best deal, they got a terrible deal. Their natural gas price was 25% higher than it could have been. Worst of all, they thought they were getting a “free” service from their natural gas broker; but, their broker was unperceivably sucking $140,000 per year from them – in perpetuity. Needless to say, the executive team was shocked and not happy.But I helped them understand the problem, quantify the problem, and solve the problem. Not only did they eliminate invisible cost leakage, they engaged me to do energy procurement to help them get a better natural gas deal – which they did!I love working with businesses that want to get real about energy and utility expenses – and I’m always looking for more opportunities to do so.You don’t have to wonder or worry if your natural gas & electricity supply and utility arrangements are good. You can be like this manufacturer – confident that your situation is rock solid. If you’re interested in learning how I can help you find savings, reduce risk and eliminate cost leakage regarding natural gas, electricity, and demand response, please call me at (412) 308-6482 or message me through my website listed above.
