Energy Procurement

Our procurement objective is the same as that of our clients—to obtain the most economical supply arrangement available and to further reduce costs as we proactively identify new opportunities as the markets evolve.  Tradition Energy’s supplier portfolio includes 179 electricity and natural gas suppliers around the world, so our clients have access to highly competitive pricing and a full array of energy management products and services that help identify, understand, and manage the variables that affect the total price paid for energy.  Simplifying the purchase and management of energy requires a thorough understanding of the underlying wholesale market, power generation and delivery, and their impact on prices. Tradition Energy understands these factors better than anyone.

Our transparent sourcing events leave a paper trail for RFP requests and results and all procurement information is captured and available for our clients’ records.  We provide our clients with the right price and most optimal terms while offering the flexibility to accommodate the client’s internal decision-making process.  Based upon our Strategic Risk Management Services, which serve as the energy procurement blueprint, Tradition Energy’s procurement process follows these steps:

Utility sales tax overcharges on utility bills can add more than 8% (depending on your local tax rate) to a company’s overall energy costs. Laws governing utility sales tax exemptions vary by state, but gaining the exemption can mean significant sales tax recovery and ongoing cost savings.
