Unique Challenges of Multi-Location Companies

Due to the sheer number of facilities you have, your spend on electricity is significant. As a result, errors or oversights in managing your energy accounts are magnified and can be costly.

Your facilities span multiple electric distribution companies (EDCs), each of which have their own unique rate schedules. Auditing all bills for correct rate schedules and other billing errors is impossible unless you are trained to understand rate structures.

Understanding the details of energy deregulation and how it applies to each individual site within your organization is critical to mitigating the amount you spend on energy. Not only is deregulation status unique to each state, but it’s unique to different EDCs within a state. Letting accounts that should be competitively shopped remain on default service because you don’t understand which accounts can be shopped, and when, can be costly to your company.

Putting together meaningful budgets can be impossible when you can’t project the status of deregulation at each location, or the effect that rate caps and constantly fluctuating energy markets will have on your energy spend.
