Procurement Services Success Story
Problem:
A property management client hired Utility Advocates Inc. to review their energy costs.
Result:
We saved the client $240,000 per year in natural gas supply costs.
Synopsis:
It became evident through our Forensic Bill Auditing process that the client experienced a 36% increase in their natural gas supply costs as a result of the gas supplier automatically renewing their gas contract for a 1 year term. Natural gas represented the largest cost in their overall budget and this surprise increase became concerning to the client. At the time of engaging with Utility Advocates Inc., they were 5 months into the renewal term of their existing contract. We submitted our recommendations based on current market pricing available and alternative supplier offers we obtained for them. The client decided not to renew with the existing supplier and signed with one of our supplier alternatives we recommended. As a result of implementing our recommendation, the client realized $240,000 in natural gas supply cost savings in the upcoming year.
