Commercial/Industrial: Managing Energy's Impact on the Bottom Line

With a client list that ranges from property managers, to manufacturers to power generators, Aegent works towards developing a competitive cost advantage by reducing energy costs and effectively managing energy price risk..

Property Managers
With price sensitive tenants, it is often a challenge for property managers to pass large price swings of energy through to clients. While many leases have an operating component that allows for some flexibility, tenants often have their own budgets to adhere to and dramatic changes in energy costs make tenancy in a specific building unappealing.

As such, property managers are often challenged with establishing, and maintaining, annual energy budgets. Understandable, with the large number of budgetary items to be considered energy costs can be a difficult line item to manage. Aegent can help property managers understand the risk they face in the marketplace and can help develop effective strategies for establishing effective energy budgets.

Manufacturers
Different manufacturers have different levels of risk tolerance based on the proportion energy represents in their operating cost and their ability to pass costs through to their customers. Energy procurement for manufacturers is further complicated by the potential for changes in production schedule. Working with Aegent to monitor natural gas consumption in relationship to their production schedule can lead to more effective energy requirement forecasts and a more refined procurement strategy.

Power Generators
Managing risk requires a gas purchasing strategy matched to the terms of your power sales. Blending creativity with depth of experience, Aegent is well equipped to develop unique solutions for power generators.
