Real Cases. Real Energy Savings: Over $5,000 in Annual Savings Through an Energy Delivery Charge Reviews
Are you paying more than necessary to deliver electricity to your business? A review of your distribution and transmission charges could reveal opportunities to reduce operating expenses.
Many Alberta businesses assume that the regulated portion of their energy bills is fixed and that there is little they can do to reduce it. However, the distribution and transmission (D&T) rate structure applied to your facility can make a difference. Reviewing these charges may reveal opportunities to optimize your energy costs and potentially save thousands of dollars annually.
At 8760 Expense Management, we have over 20 years of experience in the Alberta energy market. Our team understands how electricity delivery charges work and where potential optimization opportunities may exist. Based on our experience, approximately one in three facilities we review has an opportunity to optimize its delivery charges.
Whether you operate a manufacturing plant, commercial building, hotel, or another type of business, understanding how your facility is charged for energy delivery is an important part of managing operating expenses.
A Real Example: Best Western High Road Inn, Edson, Alberta
A Delivery Charge Reviews helped Best Western High Road Inn identify an opportunity to save over $5,000 annually through a change to its distribution and transmission rate structure.
Here's what Glen Martin, General Manager of Best Western High Road Inn, had to say about working with 8760:
"I had a conversation with Matt Siminiuk from 8760 regarding our energy usage, billing, and the details regarding this. I do not recall how we were connected and to be honest I was probably a little wary and expecting the usual 'sales pitch'. However, in a short space of time Matt Siminiuk (Director, Business Development, 8760) was able to explain several items in my billing which I did not really understand. He identified the 'D&T-Distribution & Transmission' fees as a quick fix which would start saving us money. Over $5,000 per year.When we are free from our contractual obligations, I am sure this will lead to more savings simply by having a team who are laser focused on this one area. This whole process took next to no time. Bar sending a few invoices the rest were all taken care of by Matt and his team at 8760. One change has led to us saving every month, keeping the extra dollars that we would have continued to pay.All in all a great service from a very knowledgeable team. Looking forward to being a partner with 8760 and continuing to have them on my side to help me keep my energy costs as low as possible. Recommend that anyone wanting to pay less for your energy gives this team a few minutes of your time. I believe it will be worth it."
