Who Uses Energy PriceBook & Why?

Lead Generation (Broker or Supplier) / Site Selection (Buyer)

• Break into new utilities and locations with instant, in-depth pricing knowledge without waiting on meter data or wasting time and money collecting pricing intel.
• Facilitate closing deals by quickly and accurately answering key questions (without meter data).
  • What’s an estimated price range for a specific facility?
  • With EPB historical pricing, show if market prices are at a high or low for a particular site.
    
    

Sourcing Energy

• Price compare supplier bids vs EPB price range.
  
• With EPB's price breakdowns, evaluate passing-through vs fixing price components.
• Price justify contract renewals without the time/effort of an all-out bid.
• Streamline buy decisions - replace countless charts/graphs with clear, actionable intel. 
  See illustration below.

Post Award

• Run "what-if" post sourcing scenarios (e.g., did supply price go up/down since awarding, what if we waited to source, what if we locked in earlier, what if we locked in longer/shorter terms, etc.).
  
• With EPB's distribution/delivery price and tax estimates, provide ongoing total cost budget projections of these varying charges (which is needed even if supply is fixed).
• If an index product is sourced and/or a pass-through charge occurs, provide ongoing price breakdowns at the component level to enable bill reviews of varying  charges (energy, capacity, transmission, RPS, etc.).

• With EPB price breakdowns, benchmark the higher risk (more uncertain) price components such as: cap/trans tags, forward capacity prices, transmission, RPS, etc.
• Using EPB current day and historical pricing of high, low and best price estimates, facilitate closing deals with your sales team by intelligently and transparently verifying price points and avoid fruitless races to the bottom.
• Relieve indicative-pricing workload and refreshes, so price desk personnel are primarily engaged when a contract is ready to sign.

• Price model 1000’s of facility profiles without needing/waiting on meter data.
• Compare price of renewable energy vs EPB’s estimated price of traditional energy.
• Quickly run various what-if scenarios of monthly demand (KW), usage (kWh) and cap/trans tags to see price impact on supply, distribution and taxes.
• Provide total cost, facility-specific estimates, including not only supply, but also distribution/delivery and taxes.
• With Energy PriceBook’s dollar per kilowatt ($/kWh) estimates, quickly and accurately perform ROI calculations and provide price justifications of energy efficiency installs and corresponding capital expenditures.

• Evaluate utilities with instant, in-depth pricing knowledge without waiting on meter data or wasting time and money collecting pricing intel.
• Estimate energy prices for supply, distribution/delivery and taxes for specific facilities, regions and market verticals.
• Support energy choice legislation with price transparency and insightful collaboration. What oversight government bodies want to see when deciding to keep a market open or close it down.
• EPB Roadmap: Gain aggregate market insight from price requests, including kWh volume based on: utility, start month, term length, and facility profile.
