With recent deregulation of the energy industry, consumers now have many choices as to where they buy their energy, and can opt out of purchasing energy supply from the state-regulated utilities. As a result, there is increasingly more competition in the energy market, and third parties can now supply customers with energy commodities from a variety of sources at more competitive pricing. These sources can include solar, wind, and natural gas, in addition to more conventional supplies.

 
Unfortunately, since deregulation has occurred, energy markets have at the same time become increasingly more confusing. Hidden fees, misguided long term contracts, variable uncertainty and poor price point negotiation are now all too commonplace.

With so many companies now vying for your business, why should you go with Sander?

Many energy supply brokers fail to take into consideration planned efficiency improvements or renewable projects; fundamental changes in the business model; altered production or operating hours; or anything else that may affect future usage. This can end up costing clients big because every energy contract contains some sort of usage clause, usually in the fine print. Sometimes the usage clause is pegged to being within a range or percentage of a specific usage number (e.g. 10% – 30% of 800,000 kWh), and other times it is vague (e.g. “no material change in usage”). It is essential to address this when negotiating a procurement contract or prior to implementing a retrofit that will reduce usage while under contract, so that the client does not end up getting penalized for failing to meet the usage target. This is where Sander’s energy services division excels.

We additionally possess a strong fundamental understanding of deregulation and the deregulated markets. Our commitment to market research, multiple top tier supplier relationships and around the clock market exposure, provides our clients access to extreme market depth and understanding. We work with our clients to better understand how energy is being used and employ an “efficiency first” approach to supply procurement. After all, the greatest savings are realized from the energy you don’t use!

Taking a holistic approach to energy management maximizes environmental benefits, financial savings, and generates the greatest return on energy-related investments.
