Most Organizations Overpay for Electricity Simply Because They Don't Know What They're Being Charged For
We help organizations like yours cut through the complexity of commercial electricity billing, secure more competitive supply rates, and reduce the charges that quietly inflate your bill every month.
Your Electricity Bill Has More Moving Parts Than You Think
If you manage energy costs for your organization, you already know that your electricity bill is not a simple document. It contains multiple cost components, each governed by different rules, different market structures, and different regulatory frameworks depending on where your facilities are located.
Delivery and transmission charges have been rising steadily across most Canadian provinces. Then, there are the regulatory charges, rate riders, and, for Ontario clients, the Global Adjustment, which can represent more than half of a large organization’s total electricity bill.
Most finance and procurement teams review their electricity costs once at renewal time, compare it to the previous rate, and sign. That approach leaves significant savings on the table every single year.
We Find the Savings That's Hiding in Your Electricity Costs
Reducing your electricity spend requires looking at every component of your bill, not just the commodity rate. Here is where we focus.
Supply Strategy & Procurement
The electricity supply market in Canada’s deregulated provinces offers a range of pricing solutions: Load Following & Block Products, Index Based Market Products, and customized hedging strategies tailored to specific risk profiles. Each carries a different risk profile, and the right choice depends on your organization’s consumption pattern, budget sensitivity, and market outlook. We evaluate all available options, negotiate with suppliers on your behalf, and recommend the structure that best protects your budget while keeping you positioned to benefit from favorable market conditions.
Rate Class Optimization
Many organizations are paying the wrong electricity rate for their consumption profile. Rate classes are tiered by consumption volume and demand level, and moving to the correct class can reduce your unit costs substantially. We review your current rate classification against your actual usage data and identify what rate class would optimize your total costs.
Global Adjustment Management (Ontario)
For organizations in Ontario, the Global Adjustment is typically the largest single line item on the electricity bill. It is also the one that most organizations manage least effectively. We have built a proven program around Ontario’s Industrial Conservation Initiative that helps eligible organizations significantly reduce their GA exposure by strategically managing consumption during the province’s five annual system peaks. Our clients have achieved reductions of up to 70 percent.
Supplier Relationship and Market Intelligence
We maintain active relationships with electricity suppliers across Canada and monitor market conditions continuously. That means when favorable pricing windows open, or when your current contract stops reflecting market reality, we’re positioned to act on your behalf quickly. You benefit from market intelligence that most individual procurement teams simply don’t have access to.
Renewable Electricity and Green Tariffs
As sustainability commitments become a board-level priority for more organizations, the demand for renewable electricity procurement options has increased. We help you evaluate green tariff options, renewable energy certificates, and power purchase agreements so that your electricity strategy supports your ESG reporting requirements without sacrificing cost discipline.

What Organizations Ask Us Before Getting Started
Not at all. While we can position you for a stronger outcome at your next renewal, there are demand management, rate structure, and Global Adjustment strategies that can reduce your electricity costs during your current contract term. We’ll identify what’s available to you immediately and build a roadmap for what comes next.
The initial assessment is complimentary. We review your electricity bills, consumption history, demand data, and current contract terms across all sites. From that review, we identify your key cost reduction opportunities and present a clear picture of what a more active electricity strategy could deliver for your organization.
Ontario and Alberta are Canada’s primary deregulated electricity markets, meaning organizations in those provinces can choose their electricity supplier and negotiate their contract directly. Other provinces operate under regulated utility structures where procurement options are more limited, though rate optimization, demand management, and tariff strategies still apply. Our approach is tailored to the specific rules and opportunities in each province where you operate.
Yes. We work with clients across Canada and manage procurement strategies that account for the different market structures, rate classes, and regulatory environments in each jurisdiction. We give you a single point of accountability across your entire portfolio.
Your demand charge is calculated from the single highest 15-minute interval of peak power consumption in your billing period. Even one operational spike, a cold start of heavy equipment, for example, can lock in a high demand charge for the entire month. In some rate structures, a ratchet clause means a high-demand month can affect your bill for up to twelve months afterward. We analyze your demand profile, identify what’s driving your peaks, and develop practical strategies to bring them down without disrupting your operations.
We work with organizations across a wide range of sizes. Our focus is on businesses where electricity represents a meaningful cost and where better procurement decisions and demand management strategies can deliver a clear return. If you’re spending a significant amount on electricity and aren’t actively managing it, there’s likely an opportunity worth exploring.
Your Electricity Bill Deserves More Attention Than It's Getting
Every month that passes without a more active electricity strategy is a month of savings you won’t recover. Our complimentary assessment takes a close look at what you’re currently paying, identifies where the opportunities are, and gives you a clear basis for making better decisions.
