Energy de-regulation and commodity price volatility are increasingly drawing attention to the substantial energy expenses end-users are facing across North America, and now, as never before, the focus on energy related costs and environmental responsibility are at the forefront of the agenda in financial revues and the business planning process. There are billions of dollars in utility savings available for savvy customers with access to the critical data required to manage them.  By tracking utility usage we can also track the carbon footprint for your organization.   

The challenge in reviewing and managing energy and utility information for all organizations is the ability to capture and report these costs in an effective and timely manner.  You simply cannot manage what you cannot measure.  Typical accounts payable staffs are consumed with merely paying utility bills on time, with little or no ability to extract, store, and report on the information provided in the monthly statement.

To respond to this industry problem, UMC provides clients with two related services: utility bill payment & energy information services and energy procurement & risk management advisory services.

The information our clients can now attain from the accounts payable process, coupled with the current energy management and procurement services, provides a capability unmatched in the industry.

We annually review all supply arrangements in regulated markets to make sure any new rates offered are taken advantage of.  In effort to ensure that you are on the lowest price in de-regulated markets, we take the following steps for every account:

• Review of historical usage patterns
• Recommendation of pricing structures
• Creation and management of RFP's
• Selection of Energy Providers for RFP’s
• Review of proposals and contract negotiation
• Aggregation of load where possible
• Determination of hedging options and implementation strategies
