Manage Your Electric, Natural Gas Costs with Boston Buying Power
The City of Boston invites
all local businesses to group together in Boston Buying Power and
receive all the utility management services that until now have only been
available to the largest of organizations.
The City has selected the UtilityModule company to work with local
businesses and provide a service that has been implemented by national
companies to manage their energy costs. With so many options and
decisions in the energy marketplace, UtilityModule provides customers
with the best products and services in the industry to efficiently
manage your utility expenditures.
There are
two ways to save energy dollars: either use less energy, or pay less for what
you use. Boston Buying Power addresses both aspects and provides your
business with the most effective purchasing and energy services the
market has to offer.
When you join Boston Buying Power, your account is grouped with other
local businesses to create purchasing power in the energy markets.
EnergyAuctions is a state-of-the-art "reverse auction" in which suppliers compete to serve the aggregated energy requirements.
Businesses that join Boston Buying Power are grouped with similar
accounts for pricing efficiency, but each account retains its
individual contracts and billing. EnergyAuctions carefully evaluates
all eligible suppliers in the marketplace, giving you peace
of mind knowing that all options are considered.
Purchasing energy is only one component of utility management. Before
your purchase is made, there are many ways to save energy dollars.
After your purchase is made, there are also ways to save. Boston Buying Power takes advantage of these opportunities. They
benchmark your usage to similar businesses, identify options to reduce
your consumption and choose suppliers to complete the work.
UtilityModule provides all members with the tools and services
available to isolate problems, plan solutions, increase efficiencies
and lower costs.
Although there is no guarantee that market prices will not drop below the Boston Buying Power negotiated rates, past performance and virtually all experts believe that market prices will continue to increase in the long term.
