Distributed Generation (DG) employs small-scale technologies to produce electricity close to the end users. DG technologies offer a number of potential benefits, including high-power reliability, the opportunity to sell energy back to the grid for revenue, lower cost for electricity and more. DG technologies can provide power in capacities that range from a fraction of a kilowatt [kW] to about 100 megawatts [MW].

Brokers sell you power but work for the suppliers. Supplier costs include broker fees, which are not disclosed to you. Energy consultants, on the other hand, provide you with all the options for buying power at the prices that energy companies sell it for without any hidden fees. The consultant aligns with the customer rather than with the supplier.

First, make sure you fully understand the contract, which can be complex and include several risks. Second, make sure you familiarize yourself with all the charges and the total monthly cost for the new supplier. Next, make sure the supplier is financially strong and delivers accurate billing. Finally, make sure the supplier delivers every service it tells you it will deliver and ensure you have a way of recovering incorrect charges in a timely manner.

The price of energy is the result of a number of commodities that are all moving at varying speeds. The most volatile piece of the cost of energy is natural gas. Therefore, the price of electricity does move constantly and is continually priced at 15-minute intervals—until you sign a contract for a fixed price.

Start with the load profile: how your plants and buildings are using energy and when. Next, understand what the plan will do from your current supplier and what that could mean for your energy bill going forward. It is advisable that your energy manager understand the budget for the next 12 months with your current provider compared with the new suppliers you should consider. This way you can see the true value from each potential supplier.

It always depends on the structure of the contract and what risks the provider has passed on to the customer in a fixed price contract. It is best not to assume anything and let a professional energy expert find out what the fine print really means regarding your exposure to price volatility.

Acclaim does a thorough vetting and analysis of the supplier and its offers to ensure that our clients obtain the best price based on their consumption profile and risk appetite.  In addition, Acclaim ensures that the terms and conditions are fair and do not have hidden risks or pass-throughs to the end-user, which could affect the price and reduce savings.

This always depends on the decisions made before Acclaim steps in to help. We have generally found that customers have opportunities to save an additional 10 percent to 40 percent in hidden savings.
