Experience:

Tesla Energy Advisors specializes in energy procurement auctions and has performed hundreds of auctions per year with many different types of customers including non-profits, commercial, manufacturing, institutional, small businesses and government organizations. Our extensive experience has led to a refined process that delivers the best results available in the marketplace to our customers.

Regional Market Directors: Each utility has very specific rate classes, programs, and market conditions that an energy broker must be aware of so the customer can make informed energy procurement decisions. Example include, is there a purchase of receivable program available through the utility? Should I be on the utility default rate in New England because my utility provides preferential rates to its customers that is 50% less than what suppliers can offer?

Our Regional Market Directors have extensive energy procurement experience in each region. They understand the nuances of energy procurement behind each utility and are in charge of crafting RFP’s, reviewing contracts and executing any deal that falls in their area of expertise.

Expert Sales Staff: Our staff are Certified Energy Procurement Professionals (CEP) who have extensive knowledge in natural gas and electricity procurement. They are experts in natural gas and electricity procurement and understand our process intimately. Each representative has worked on scores of auctions and can answer your questions quickly and effectively.
Our services are excellent for folks that are new to the procurement process and for experienced energy buyers alike. Whether you need guidance and assistance or you are simply looking to utilize our auctions to squeeze margins, you will find our staff invaluable in not only answering all your questions but in making the procurement process simply, straightforward and fun!

  Process: OUR SECRET SAUCE -

Auction process: Energy procurement is complex and most folks mistakenly believe that procuring energy is similar to procuring other commodities. This is not accurate and will end up guaranteeing a premium price for your institution. How your information is gathered, presented and executed on are imperative to getting the lowest cost from suppliers. Tesla Energy Advisors has a streamlined & powerful process that that is unique and very different from what other companies offer and this will deliver superior results every time.

Context on Market prices: Understanding historical, current, and the potential future market landscape is important for customers to understand so they can make Risk Management decisions based off facts. We provide this information in easy to understand graphs literature.

Post Auction services: Once the auctions have concluded and we have gotten a contract in place for our customers we have a very good understanding of your business goals and objectives around energy procurement. Part of our services is to monitor the evolving energy market landscape and alert customers to opportunities as they present themselves. Our “Pro-Active Market Monitoring” services come with our services and allow customers to have peace of mind that we are monitoring the markets on their behalf to ensure customers energy spend is being monitored to ensure your business goals and objectives are realized with energy procurement.

  Technology:

Bidding platform: Our platform is remarkably easy to use and navigate for both suppliers and our customers. Regardless of whether we perform a “Live Reverse Auction” or “Sealed Bid Auction”, our technology creates a highly competitive, transparent and fair process that allows us to identify the lowest price points available in the market on our customer’s terms and conditions. ALL MAJOR SUPPLIER are set up and currently utilize our system.

We get bids from dozens of suppliers vs. 4-5 “preferred suppliers” that other brokers offer. It is imperative that ALL suppliers in each region are given the opportunity to bid for your business. Very often local smaller companies can give much better pricing than large national companies. In fact, there are 4 very specific reasons why suppliers are willing to provide pricing below market rates – let’s chat and review them together. Again, in order to ensure that you get the best pricing you must invite ALL suppliers in your region to compete for your business.
