Energy Procurement

Control your costs through strategic energy purchases

Poor energy procurement decisions can be expensive. Energy prices fluctuate constantly, which can significantly affect your energy bill and performance against budget. By taking a proactive approach to buying energy, you can better control your costs.

Summit Energy specializes in purchasing energy on behalf of companies. We can lead you to strategic energy procurement that ensures you’re getting the best value for your energy dollar.

Our Approach

Instead of only using contract expiration dates as the sole driver for energy procurement, we identify strategic sourcing opportunities by constantly monitoring market dynamics to identify the best possible purchase opportunities. Our proactive approach allows you to capitalize on energy opportunities before they disappear.

Our Process

Summit reviews your past energy invoices to identify current energy purchasing options and issues a Request for Proposal (RFP) to purchase energy for one of three reasons:

  1. Market dynamics present an opportunity
  2. Regulatory or supplier entrances/exits change options
  3. Upcoming contract expirations require action

After your company indicates a willingness to participate in an RFP, Summit sends the energy load to the supplier community using SourceView™, our proprietary, online e-procurement module. SourceView simplifies the RFP process, resulting in more price-competitive, accurate and timely energy bids. In an industry where time can make-or-break a deal, the ease of Summit’s energy procurement process improves your company’s bottom line.

Our energy consulting experts review all responses and recommend the best option for you based on key factors like pricing, contract terms, product structures and credit conditions. When working with Summit Energy, you receive clear guidance, not just a list of confusing choices. When your company approves a recommendation, Summit handles the transactional process and completes all relevant legal documentation.

Our Support

We empower organizations to make informed, confident decisions based on our expertise in energy consulting. In an effort to guide your company through the complicated web of energy contracts, Summit provides one-on-one, personalized education and explanation. Throughout the RFP process, you can discuss any issue with your dedicated Client Energy Manager, a Summit Energy consultant who acts as an extension of your company’s organizational chart to provide leadership for your energy management program.
