Key Account Support and Management

We have the expertise and practical solutions to provide high-quality service to our large business customers. Our Key Accounts team is ready to serve you and provide advice, solutions and resources to help you manage your energy costs, improve your sustainability, power quality and more   

We offer assistance to our large business customers in a number of areas including:

  • Billing, rates and supply:
    We can help you understand how your energy usage and demand impact your utility bill. We can also assist in power quality analysis and reliability planning.

  • Energy efficiency and management:
    Take advantage of our years of energy efficiency experience by scheduling a facility assessment. We can provide you with a quantitative analysis of your energy-saving opportunities and available incentives.

  • Benchmarking, monitoring and reporting:
    If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. Let us model your facility’s energy data so you can monitor and control your energy usage before it becomes waste. We can generate reports to use for EWRB and other purposes.

  • Distributed Energy Resources (DER):
    Solar photovoltaic, thermal storage and batteries are some types of DERs used to meet energy needs. They can serve multiple purposes and should be considered in conjunction with a load management strategy to optimize efficacy.

  • Electrification:
    As the prices of renewable electricity and electric equipment continue to drop, now is the time to start planning for an electrified future. Be it your fleet, process equipment, heating and cooling, or anything in between, we can guide you in the right direction so you’re not faced with service capacity issues when the time comes.
