Cost Reduction Strategies - Electricity
 Any one of these could have significant savings on your bottom line:
- Tariff checks: Make sure your business is on the correct tariff for your electricity profile and if it is warranted to look at a contestable contract.
- Strata Contestability checks: Assessment of a building to see if it is viable for a market contract under bulk supply arrangements.
- Contract renewals: Renew your contract with certainty of competitive pricing..
- New Contract negotiations: Multiple site and Bulk Supply.
- Analysis and Graphs: Giving your business bottom line figures for budgeting.
Efficiency Strategies and Consulting
 Consulting Services: Our areas of expertise include identifying areas in your electricity consumption that are NOT normal or you suspect there is an underlying issue. We can determine why your building or business has excessive Peak or Off Peak Usage, whether the common area in a strata building is using to much power. Is the building doing what it is supposed to under its electrical design. Is Tenants in the building using the common power.
- Demand-side management initiatives: including energy efficiency initiatives and load switching. Understanding peak demand on electricity. The aim is to eliminate the peak and troughs of daily energy consumption and move towards plateau consumption with lower maximum demand. The cost-benefits of maintaining a consistent plateau-style demand can be reflected in significant reduction on basic supply costs to the site. Reviewing "hot spots" and the capabilities and effectiveness against change-over costs of retro-fitting lighting, for example, leads to more efficient outcomes.
- Environmental management programs - EPA’s ecoBiz program (efficiency and rebate scheme)
- Access to green power: Access to accredited-only green power supply from our range of 1st tier energy retailers. Offset the small additional costs of green power against the cost savings through negotiating new energy supply contracts.
