Energy procurement in Atlanta

Competitive natural gas supply in Atlanta.

Georgia deregulated natural gas, so commercial gas supply can be competitively bid through marketers. Electricity is a different story.

No obligation. We will tell you if you do not need us.
Energy supply and procurement in Atlanta
Natural gas Deregulated Commercial supply is bid through licensed marketers rather than a single aggregate portal.
Electricity Regulated No retail choice for most Atlanta buildings, so the electric work is tariff fit and efficiency.
Where the value is Gas and bills Gas bidding, rate class review and billing error recovery.
Bundled with compliance Yes We already hold the usage data from the benchmarking filing.

Dates and thresholds change. We confirm the current requirement for your specific building before anyone acts on it.

What energy supply is, and why it is the line you can move.

Your utility bill has two halves. Delivery is the wires, pipes and meters, and it always stays with the local utility. Supply is the electricity or natural gas itself. In a competitive market the supply half can be bought from a licensed supplier instead of taken at the utility’s default price, and the utility keeps delivering and, in most arrangements, keeps sending one bill. Nothing physical changes. What changes is who sets the price of the energy and on what terms.

Georgia is a gas deregulation state, which means commercial natural gas supply can be competitively bid through marketers. That is a real and often overlooked saving on any gas-heavy Atlanta building.

Electricity is regulated, so there is no supply to shop. The electric work here is tariff and rate class fit, demand management, and finding billing errors, which is less glamorous and frequently more valuable than owners expect.

How we run an energy supply review
Supply versus delivery
Delivery is the wires and pipes and it stays with your utility. Supply is the energy itself, and in a competitive market you choose who provides it and at what price. Our procurement service page walks through it in plain English.
Start with the bill
Rate class, current supply arrangement, usage and contract dates. One bill answers most of it.
Bid it properly
Multiple licensed suppliers, matched terms, and a comparison you can put in front of a board.
Watch the renewal
Most overpaying happens at rollover, not at signing. We monitor the end date.

How we bid your energy supply

Compliance clients get this alongside the filing, using data we already hold.

1
Read the current position
Rate class, supply arrangement, term, and what the building actually used over twelve months.
2
Confirm eligibility
Which accounts can transact, on which fuel, and any utility programme requirements.
3
Run the bid
Licensed suppliers competing on matched terms, with the spread and the risk explained.
4
Contract carefully
Term, bandwidth, pass-throughs and exit language reviewed before signature.
5
Monitor and renew
Renewal dates tracked so the next decision is made early rather than by default.
Where money leaks

Default supply and automatic rollovers are where buildings overpay.

A contract that rolls to a variable rate, a rate class that no longer matches how the building operates, or a bill nobody has audited in five years. None of these announce themselves, and all of them are recoverable.

We are paid by the supplier on procurement and we will show you the numbers, which is a question worth asking any broker who will not.

Received a letter?

What an Atlanta letter usually means.

Atlanta warns before it fines, which makes the first letter an opportunity.

Send us the letter
Warning letter
The annual June 1 filing is missing. You have thirty days to cure before any fine is assessed.
Audit notice
Your ASHRAE Level II audit year, keyed to the last digit of the building identifier, is here.

Send us the letter itself, not a summary. We read it for the six things that decide the response: who sent it, which building and identifier it names, what period it covers, what it says you failed to do, the cure date, and whether it is a first notice or an escalation. We never quote a running penalty total, and we cure first, then talk to the regulator.

Why energy procurement sits with the compliance advisor

Because we already hold twelve months of verified whole-building data, which is exactly what a supplier needs to price you.

One accountable partner
We are not engineers and we do not pretend to be. We manage the process, coordinate the right vendors, and own the outcome.
Credentialed
Certified Energy Manager on staff, Portfolio Manager specialists, and the credentials the verification work requires.
We read the primary sources
Twenty-six jurisdictions, each with its own portal, deadline and enforcement style. We work from the ordinance, the regulator’s FAQ and the covered building list, not from last year’s memory.
Built for boards
Most of our clients are condo and co-op boards and the managers who serve them. We present in plain English, on your meeting schedule.

Energy supply and procurement questions in Atlanta

No, not for most buildings. Georgia electricity is regulated. Gas is where the competitive opportunity sits.

Through marketers, which means the process is a genuine bidding exercise rather than a portal lookup. That is exactly the kind of thing we run for clients.

Supplier-side compensation on procurement, and we will show you the numbers. Compliance and advisory work is fee-based.

No. Sometimes the honest recommendation is to stay where you are, and we would rather say that than churn your account.
