A commercial energy audit focused on procurement examines your current contracts, rates, and market position — not your building's physical systems. We analyze what you're paying, compare it to current market alternatives, and identify whether you're positioned to save through a competitive sourcing process.

What We Audit: Supply-Side Focus
We don't audit lighting or HVAC systems (that's an energy efficiency audit). We audit your supply contracts: current rate vs. market rate, contract expiration timeline, ETF exposure, passthrough provisions you may not be aware of, and whether your account is being procured optimally given its load profile.
What We Look for in a Utility Bill Review
We look for: supply rate (compared against current market), demand charge structure (are you being penalized by a demand spike from a one-time event?), passthrough charges (capacity, ancillaries — are they priced reasonably?), rate classification (are you on the right tariff for your load?), and contract expiration date (when does your current deal end?).

Common Findings
Most commercial accounts we review share similar issues: supply rate hasn't been competitively bid in 2+ years; contract auto-renewed at a rate above market; demand charge is inflated by one anomalous peak event; or account is on the wrong utility tariff for its load profile. Any one of these has meaningful cost impact.
From Audit to Action
An audit without an action plan is an exercise. After identifying your market position, we run a competitive bid process if the supply rate is above market, advise on tariff reclassification if appropriate, and document ETF exposure before recommending any supplier switch.
Ongoing Monitoring
A one-time audit captures a snapshot. Ongoing monitoring — tracking contract expiration, watching for market windows, reviewing annual tariff changes — is what prevents accounts from drifting back into above-market positions. We provide this as part of account management.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a commercial energy broker get paid?
Brokers are compensated by the supplier you choose — a small per-kWh fee built into the contract rate. This fee exists in every supplier's pricing regardless of whether a broker is involved. You pay nothing out of pocket.
How many suppliers will you get quotes from?
We submit to 30+ licensed retail energy suppliers active in your state. Not all will quote every account — load size, credit profile, and industry classification affect who bids. We pull from the full available market.
How long does the process take?
From data collection to competing offers typically takes 3–5 business days. Contract execution takes another 1–2 business days. Service transition happens on your next billing cycle — no interruption.
Is there a contract with the broker?
No. You authorize us to collect your usage data and solicit quotes on your behalf. There's no fee arrangement, no retainer, and no commitment until you choose a supplier offer to execute.
What if I'm currently under contract?
We'll review your existing contract terms, note the expiration window, and initiate a quote process 6–9 months before expiration. If there's an early termination option that makes economic sense, we'll flag it.
