“Working with Energy Edge Consulting is a great experience. They started by learning our unique business operations and expectations. We were engaged in an ongoing process to upgrade critical infrastructure in our data center that will result in significant changes to our electricity consumption. They were aware of the potential risks associated with projected material usage changes and worked with us to forecast the usage as accurately as possible while also working closely with the suppliers to help them understand the usage changes as thoroughly as possible. They helped us review a variety of product structures to help address our expected consumption changes and clearly differentiated the flexibility of the product offerings from each supplier. During contract negotiations, Energy Edge worked with our in-house counsel to negotiate contracts with the chosen Retail Electric Providers. Their in-depth knowledge of the various commercial issues in retail electric supply contracts as well as their ability to work with our team and the providers to determine the best solution for our needs resulted in an outcome that our senior management was confident in. They additionally provided a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session with our employees to educate them about residential options, which was well attended and much appreciated by our employees.”

“Energy Edge helped Collin College develop a comprehensive procurement strategy consistent with our risk tolerance and business needs that resulted in a significant reduction in energy spend.
