EnergyUSA-TPC has many examples of successful collaborations with our customers. These successes range from discovery of simple billing errors all the way to creation and implementation of corporate energy strategies. All of these items have one critical thing in common – our unswerving focus on providing value to our customers. This value takes many forms including cost savings, usage optimization and overall energy management. However, the bottom line is always our goal of providing a value that far exceeds our cost.

#1 – Utility Invoicing

Customer was receiving gas on two separate utility delivery rates. The billing utility flip-flopped the calculations and applied the firm delivery price to the much larger gas usage and the interruptible price to the first gas through the meter. Our account management staff caught the error during the first invoice review and saved the customer nearly $13,000 in excess annual delivery charges. Bottom line – the customer is now billed correctly every month and total cumulative savings are approaching $50,000.

#2 – Account Management

Customer was receiving gas from another marketer who was consistently under nominating and under supplying. EnergyUSA-TPC was hired to take over the gas supply and management role and noticed a substantial negative monthly balance looming. Our management team was able to quickly shift supplies and build a positive balance in the bank. Bottom line – our action saved the customer $8,400 in annual imbalance penalties and also shielded the account from large purchases of daily market gas moving forward.

#3 – Tariff Selection

Customer is receiving interruptible local gas delivery service on a utility system with a high number of interruptions. We examined the feasibility of converting supply to firm service and discovered that this option carried a $52,000 annual premium cost over the interruptible. The account was left on the interruptible tariff and we now watch the account very closely and track interruptions and the resulting penalty gas used. If the penalties begin to subtract too much money from the annual $50,000+ savings, we implement a strategic plan designed to shift load to alternative methods. Bottom line – the customer retains most of the $50,000+ in annual savings that before was taken by penalties.

#4 – Multiple Account Management

A corporate customer with a number of individual facilities and accounts was struggling to manage the procurement and risk avoidance process. EnergyUSA-TPC was contracted to provide energy supply and overall account management. Working with the customer, a strategic plan was developed that optimized energy costs while reflecting a risk profile that matched corporate requirements. Bottom line – the overall hedging strategy has saved the customer over $200,000 over previous years costs.
