What We Do
Risk Management
Each organization should have defined risk objectives. We work with our clients to develop & define energy management objectives and implement strategies to achieve those goals. Whether our team of advisors is focused on financial & physical hedging, evaluating fuel arbitrage opportunities, optimizing capacity assets, or eliminating risk with spot-market purchases, our efforts remain aligned with your organization’s risk strategy to achieve energy optimization.
Procurement
Energy contracts inherently put risk on the customer; tolerance levels, reasonable assurance clauses, take or pay solutions can all negatively impact your bottom line. Our team focuses on identifying this risk and eliminating it, while also ensuring our clients execute contracts with a cost-effective & credit-worthy counterparty. Few things are worse than negotiating a favorable energy contract only to have the supplier/broker not be able to deliver or financial reasons. Let us ensure your supply needs are protected.
Sustainability
Our sustainability team at Energy Vision can help you set and achieve your sustainability needs and goals, whether your company already has a sustainability plan, or you are just getting started. If you need assistance calculating your carbon footprint, identifying green power solutions, developing a comprehensive sustainability management plan, or guidance on sustainability reporting, we can help. Energy Vision actively participates in Renewable Energy Certificates markets, carbon offset markets, Green-e certifications, and more. We have trained Energy Star Portfolio Managers and are well-versed in SBTi (Science-Based Target initiatives) guidance and Greenhouse Gas protocols. Energy Vision is also a member of the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) Alliance to stay up to date on all disclosure guidance and requirements in corporate sustainability for our clients.
In addition to our core solutions, EV can also offer on-site training to help clients better understand energy dynamics, as well as behind-the-meter training on safety issues such as leak detection, pipeline identification, and corrosion control. Further, we are also happy to evaluate fuel arbitration projects, co-generation projects, and other demand efficiency solutions.

Tariff Analysis/Review
Pipelines and local distribution companies always look to grow and that growth is funded through rate increases to the end-user. We work on your behalf to provide a voice during rate cases, as well as conduct yearly audits of LDC rate schedules to ensure you are on the appropriate rate class with your local utility.
Invoice Audits
Energy invoices are complex and seldom look the same. Our team takes a hands-on approach and audits each invoice to ensure the correct utility rate and supply rate is being charged. We also work on your behalf to recover any incorrectly charged fees or taxes and do not take a percentage of what we find, unlike some in the industry. Our opinion is, it is your money, you should have it. Let us be your set of eyes to ensure you are being invoiced right!
Budgeting
Natural Gas, Electricity, and other fuels are commodities that are traded every day. Conventional budgeting methods such as increasing the annual expense by a few percentage points, will not work. Our analysts develop budgets that utilize projected consumption, current utility rates, and contracted supply rates (including any hedges), to give you the most accurate forecast possible.
