With the energy markets being characterized by ever-increasing levels of volatility, it is very important to participate pro-actively in your energy purchasing rather than be forced to react to price spikes and uncertainty. In the pages to follow you will find the various products EPA offers.

Please keep in mind that there are two ways to reduce energy costs:  
Spend less
Consume less

Proposals are broken down into two main areas: supply-side (energy pricing) and load side (consumption). The package should be viewed in its totality. If we are honored with your business, both aspects of this package will be implemented simultaneously.  The first order of business involves a consulting package, which will include putting together a list of Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) who will submit bids for your consideration. We can have these energy companies prepare bids that can provide electric product and gas product pricing for anywhere from one-year to a price that can be locked in for as long as 5 years. We have contracts with all of the major ESCOs who supply power in all of the deregulated states in the United States including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut:

Supply-Side (ENERGY) Plan
Below are descriptions of EPA's supply-side energy offerings:

Power Portfolio: The portfolio (where available) gives the client a seat at the wholesale power table. Energy usage will be segmented into on-peak and off-peak. The client uses power 24 hours per day/ 7 days a week. The problem with any utility's billing methodology is that billing is based on a monthly average, which bears no reflection to when power is consumed and how much of it is consumed during off-peak times. Since the number of hours during off-peak times is greater than the amount of on-peak hours, and since the price of energy is determined by demand on the electrical system, electric prices are cheaper during off-peak times. The portfolio strategy involves purchasing 40% of the co-op's power requirements at a fixed price and 60% of the load at a floating hourly price. During a normal season, this strategy will produce significant savings over utility company pricing as well as competing Energy Services Companies (ESCOs). 

Fixed Price: It is possible to lock in a fixed price for a period of time ranging from several months to five years. For budgetary and price certainty reasons, a fixed price can be a very attractive scenario for companies and co-ops who work on fixed budgets and need to know exactly what their expenditures are going to be for a finite period of time. If you believe that the price of energy is going to escalate over the intermediate term, then a fixed price should be explored.

Variable Rate: For those entities and institutions that would prefer not to commit to a fixed price for a particular timeframe, a variable rate that is tied to the Day-Ahead and Real-Time Markets could be an attractive alternative.The price changes every month and reflects the volatile nature of the energy markets. Variable pricing is directly affected by national and international events, both from a temperature and seasonal nature and also from a political point of view.

Guaranteed Pricing: EPA can offer a guaranteed product that mimics the price of the utility's electric costs (where available) as the default energy supplier. The price is guaranteed to be $0.00025 per kWh lower than the monthly utility. For those conservative end-users who can not tolerate any deviation from utility pricing, this product offers peace-of-mind to nervous participants who have had no previous experience in the power markets. This is the least attractive in our extensive stable of energy products. One notable short-coming:  every time the utility's rates spike, the client's rates will spike also.
