Energy Solutions

Energy costs have never been more volatile. Speculative pricing, driven by declining global oil production and rising demand, has run rampant.

Great Forest helps companies with our expertise by exploring these critical problems and converting them into valuable opportunities.

Great Forest's wide range of energy services are designed to help clients maximize their financial advantages while reducing the environmental impact of their energy choices. Our services include:

• Energy Management Plan Development and Implementation
  A full service, all systems approach to maximizing the operational output of an organization through effective energy management design and implementation. A successful environmental management plan generates senior management buy-in and coordinates an effective team approach to cut energy use and costs for many years to come.
• Competitive Bidding for Energy Supply (electricity, natural gas, heating oil, gasoline, diesel, propane, ethanol)
  Great Forest has working relationships with most reputable ESCOs (Energy Service Companies). Through competitive bidding at strategic times, we extract maximum market value for our clients.
• Utility and Supplier Cost Validation
  Great Forest's rate/cost models replicate both the utility's delivery and the ESCOs' specific supply rates to ensure that contracted costs have been charged accurately.
• Procurement / Services Contract Analysis and Negotiation
  Great Forest conducts a series of thorough analyses on facilities' energy usage, demand, costs, budget and other risk tolerances that may warrant negotiation of an energy contract. We help structure appropriate energy services with the utility company, local suppliers and economic development agencies.
• Account Maintenance Including ESCO and Utility Support
  We provide general support and assistance for all utility-related questions and are available to train staff and management as needed. If a billing error is discovered, we lead the negotiations to collect any overcharges and back it up with our rate models and cost validations.
• Carbon Footprint Analysis
  Our trained staff can perform carbon footprint analysis covering all or part of business operations. Great Forest provides independent verification of greenhouse gas inventories tailored to our clients' needs.
