Energy costs can weigh heavily on a business’s bottom line. Many companies focus on the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) or gigajoule (GJ) when reviewing their energy bills. Yet, the largest savings often hide in the delivery charges, which can make up over 60% of a building’s total utility bill. At 8760, we specialize in uncovering these hidden savings by reviewing and optimizing delivery charges for our clients.
One of our valued clients, Arrkann Trailer & RV, a family-owned company with five locations across Alberta, recently experienced significant savings thanks to our detailed delivery charge review. This post shares their story and explains how your business might also benefit from a similar review.

Why Delivery Charges Matter More Than You Think
Delivery charges are the fees utilities charge to transport energy from the generation source to your building. These charges are regulated but often complex and not well understood by many businesses. While the price per kWh or GJ is visible and easy to compare, delivery charges can be less transparent and harder to optimize.
For many businesses, delivery charges represent the largest portion of their energy bill. At Arrkann Trailer & RV, delivery charges accounted for more than 60% of their total utility costs. This means that even small percentage savings on delivery charges can translate into substantial dollar savings.
How 8760 Helped Arrkann Trailer & RV Save Nearly $100,000 Annually
Arrkann Trailer & RV has trusted 8760 for years to help manage their energy expenses. Recently, our energy experts conducted a thorough review of the delivery charges at one of their facilities. The process included:
Analyzing historical energy bills and delivery charge components
Comparing charges against regulated rates and benchmarks
Identifying billing errors or misclassifications
Working directly with the utility provider to correct and optimize charges
The result was a discovery of nearly $100,000 in annual savings. Tim Peters, Controller at Arrkann Trailer & RV, shared his experience:
"8760 conducted a review of our energy delivery charges at one of our facilities and much to our surprise they uncovered savings of just under $100,000 a year.

Why Many Businesses Overpay on Delivery Charges
Based on over 20 years of experience in the Alberta energy market, 8760 has found that about one in three energy sites do not have optimized delivery charges. Common reasons include:
Billing errors or outdated rate classifications
Lack of regular review or understanding of delivery charge components
Changes in energy usage patterns not reflected in billing
Missed opportunities to negotiate or adjust delivery service options
Many businesses focus on reducing consumption or negotiating commodity prices but overlook delivery charges. This oversight can lead to paying more than necessary for energy delivery.
