Competitive Pricing is INCREASING. MANAGE YOUR ENERGY NEEDS. BETTER. Grocery stores have taken advantage of extremely competitive rates since 2010, fixing prices for as long as thirty-six months. The market has changed in the last year. Competitive prices are increasing, calling for a more actively managed approach for procuring electricity. Navigate Power can help better manage the energy needs of food retailers through: • Multi-hedge strategy: in an increasing market, a 100% fixed price is not always the best strategy. Leaving a portion of your usage on the index allows you to take advantage of competitive pricing on the open market • Demand response: curtail usage during peak cooling hours and make purchases during off-peak hours • Lighting and retro-fitting: reduce your overall energy consumption through lighting, HVAC, and freezer upgrades. Take advantage of tax incentives and utility rebates, plus competitive financing options. Call us for your free baseline energy report, and save more money! 2211 N.

What is your current procurement strategy? Find a fixed price and enroll? Do you establish benchmarks and review periods? How often do you procure energy (length of contracts)? At what level are the energy procurement decisions made—per location or as an aggregated portfolio? Any notable issues or concerns with billing, additional fees, taxes? Are referral programs as revenue drivers an interest to your company? What would you change, if anything, about your current energy program or procurement strategy? Have you looked at lighting and retro-fitting, new generation HVAC, and other sustainable solutions to reduce operating costs? Have you ever participated in an energy audit or received grant money from the County or utility? 2211 N.
