[print this page] Natural Gas and Electricity Brokers lower rates to California Businesses Owners. With deregulation businesses can expect significant savings!
Business owners, CFO's, managers as well as account receivable technicians are forced to make hard decisions with each dollar spent. Most expenses can be evaluated, budgeted, re- evaluated and re-budgeted until the bottom line is all that's left. Anticipated profits are put off for another quarter, only for the cycle to continue throughout this economic down turn.
While salaries and wages may be negotiable, hard costs such as, leases, rent, insurance and utility bills have no wiggle room. They have to be paid, on time, every month.
Customers are choosing competitive pricing further cutting into the company's bottom line. Although, Vendors and service providers are going out of their way to keep your business, there seems to be one service provider that has a monopoly on providing service to EVERY business.
The "Gas and Electric Company" have your business and they know it! They have had you as a "customer" from the very beginning, anticipating your business until the very end.
Did You Choose your Gas and Electric Company?
NO!... Your Company had no choice when it came to purchasing your Gas or Electricity ...Or did you?
NATURAL GAS
The natural gas market in California has been deregulated since 1991; unfortunately most business owners are unaware they have options regarding their natural gas purchases. With the assistance of a Certified Energy Broker, business owners can achieve significant savings, up to 12% or more on natural gas.
Deregulation allows business the ability to select who they purchase natural gas from. Certified Energy Brokers are natural gas vendors to your "Gas Company." Certified Energy Brokers service many states; by pooling their customer's usage, brokers have greater buying power. In doing so Certified Energy Brokers are able to purchase natural gas at much lower rates than the "Gas Company".
"Gas Companies" are highly regulated by the Public Utility Commission. The "Gas Company" in California is prohibited from making a "profit" from the sale of gas. In fact, your Gas Company is in the business and makes its profit from delivering the gas they purchase from other markets. Although, they are allowed to raise your rates for a variety of reasons, not limited to cost over runs, bad debt, and "unexpected liabilities" they do receive permission from the CPUC to raise rates to cover those costs.
