How 8760 Supports Alberta Businesses with Utility Bill Management


8760 acts as an independent, in-house energy department for its clients. This means businesses don’t have to navigate the complex energy market alone or rely solely on electricity retailers or electric utility companies. Instead, 8760 provides:


By focusing on the entire energy and electricity expense, 8760 helps businesses reduce operational costs and protect against market volatility.


The Power of Aggregation for Better Energy Pricing


One of 8760’s key advantages is its ability to leverage the collective volume of over 30,000 energy sites in its portfolio. This aggregation creates significant buying power when negotiating with energy providers and electric suppliers. The result is stronger pricing and better contract terms than most businesses could secure on their own.


For example, 8760 proudly serves as the dedicated energy partner for over 140 Tim Hortons franchises in Alberta. This partnership demonstrates how aggregation benefits both large commercial clients and smaller businesses by lowering their energy costs through collective negotiation.


Tailored Energy Programs for Different Business Sizes


8760 understands that energy needs vary widely between large commercial operations and small businesses. Their programs reflect this:
