Manufacturing
Overview
Manufacturers account for approximately 25 percent of total energy consumed in the U.S. Energy is a significant cost item and one that financial and operational leaders must manage proactively to remain competitive in the face of rising energy costs and inflation. While most manufacturing professionals know this and dedicate significant organizational resources to managing their energy usage, many are unaware of just how many dollars are lost to billing errors and sub-optimal utility plans. Whether you are trying to free up your budget for capital investments, seeking ways to amplify savings from your energy efficiency initiatives, or simply wanting reassurance that your bills are free of errors and overcharges, we can help.
