"Synergistic partnership."

Our relationship with Proactive Energy Management exemplifies the potential for synergistic partnership with a consulting firm. They don’t just contact us when it’s time to sign contracts but are constantly providing valuable intel and alerting us to opportunities in all areas of energy management. They are proactive at every phase of the consultative process, providing market analyses and forecasts far in advance of the execution phase to ensure that Siena keeps all critical information in full view.  This has enabled us to consistently manage risk in relation to our energy spend and have greater control over our budget.

As concerns electric and natural gas supply procurement, their bidding platforms are extremely powerful, leveraging the maximum degree of competition from among only the best, proven suppliers in the region and teasing out the absolute best commodity offers available at the most strategic times.  With great effort and attention to detail, PEM has been able to deliver significant annual savings, well into 6 figures, against both our natural gas and electricity budgets.

PEM has truly been a partner, delivering consistent and demonstrated value over the past several years. We highly recommend their services to any organization that wants to effectively manage their energy related needs.

"PEM gives me peace of mind."

Working with PEM has definitely been beneficial to our organization. Many companies will pretend to be your partner when your contract is up, but then you might not hear from your representative until your contract is near expiration and needs to be renewed.

Our PEM contact is proactive, not only in getting the best possible rates for us at renewal time, but also for visiting with me from time to time throughout our contract to see how it is working out and also to consider possible options like blend and extend when it is beneficial for us.  He has also helped out in evaluating trending opportunities like evaluating the benefits and costs/savings from considering renewable energy sources.

As a non-profit organization operating multiple large facilities in the area, it is important for us to have as much cost certainty as possible over our utility expense line. PEM gives me peace of mind that someone beyond myself is looking out for the YMCA’s best interest, assisting us in controlling our risk in a rapidly changing and volatile market place.
