Built around your industry — not a one-size-fits-all pitch.

• CT commercial real estate energy management starts with aggregating multiple properties under a single procurement strategy to unlock commercial pricing tiers unavailable on a per-property basis.
• Coordinating contract end dates across your portfolio concentrates negotiating leverage and eliminates the operational drain of staggered renewals throughout the year.
• Energy cost reduction flows directly to NOI — on a $1M annual energy portfolio, a 10% reduction is $100,000 in additional net operating income.

• Every 1¢/kWh improvement on a 10 million kWh account delivers $100,000 in annual savings — making procurement timing and structure decisions highly material.
• ISO-NE Network Service Peak Load charges are set by your demand during a small number of designated peak hours annually. Proactive management of those hours reduces a charge that persists for 12 months.
• ISO-NE winter basis risk — driven by natural gas pipeline constraints — creates severe electricity price exposure for unhedged accounts. The right contract structure eliminates that exposure entirely.

• CT restaurant chain and food service energy procurement aggregating five or more locations under a single strategy unlocks commercial account pricing not available to individual small accounts — typically 20–30% in additional savings potential.
• Kitchen and process gas is the largest controllable energy variable for F&B operators. Spring procurement of annual gas supply avoids the winter premium that catches most operators off-guard.
• Aligning contract end dates across all locations creates a single annual renewal window — concentrating leverage, simplifying management, and eliminating the perpetual per-site renewal burden.

• Connecticut hospital energy procurement relies on fixed-rate and capped index contract structures that eliminate mid-year budget variance caused by market spikes — critical for facilities that cannot adjust operations to compensate.
• 24/7 baseload consumption profiles qualify for highly competitive commercial pricing that most healthcare operators are not accessing through their current broker arrangements.
• Non-commodity charge optimization — including ICAP capacity tag reduction — delivers additional savings of $15K–$60K annually entirely independent of supply rate improvements.

• Connecticut hotel energy cost reduction requires managing ISO-NE natural gas price spikes that occur predictably during New England cold snaps due to pipeline constraints. Spring procurement of winter heating gas avoids the seasonal risk premium entirely.
• Electricity consumption patterns driven by HVAC, lighting, and F&B operations qualify for competitive fixed-rate pricing that delivers meaningful savings versus Eversource and UI standard service.
• Energy cost reduction improves GOP margin directly — for most hotel operators, energy is the third largest operating expense after labor and property costs.

• Connecticut manufacturing energy cost savings start with tax recovery. CT manufacturers with SIC codes 2000–3999 qualify for a 6.35% sales tax exemption plus an 8.5% Gross Earnings Tax (GET) exemption on electricity — up to 14.85% combined. Most are not claiming it.
• Industrial gas load is typically the largest single energy cost line — and the most exposed to ISO-NE winter pipeline constraints. Strategic procurement timing eliminates the seasonal premium.
• High and predictable electricity load profiles are ideal for competitive fixed-rate supply, delivering verified savings of $50K–$500K annually depending on spend.

Savings estimates are based on CT OCC verified data, EIA 2024, Eversource/UI PURA H1 2026 rate filings, and PowerSetter CT commercial market data July 2025. Actual savings depend on market conditions, contract structure, and account profile.
