Not all energy consultants are created equal. If your current energy consulting firm isn’t using automation, AI, or real-time monitoring, they’re likely just facilitating—not optimizing—your procurement.
Today’s energy markets demand fast reactions and deep insights. A qualified energy consulting firm should not only help you secure pricing but also deliver value through technology. If your provider isn’t bringing software into the process, they’re slowing you down.
Ask your Energy Consulting Firm these questions:
- Can they model pricing by location, load, and contract term?
- Do they use automated energy procurement tools?
- Are they proactively pushing alerts and market updates?
Red Flags:
- They only provide spreadsheets
- They lack transparency in quote benchmarking
- They use outdated pricing references
Your firm should be doing more than facilitating supplier contracts. They should be helping you develop a strategic energy plan that aligns with your business goals.
In 2025, a true energy consulting firm should offer automated tools + strategic insight—not just contracts.
If they aren’t delivering automated recommendations and tailored reports that reflect your usage and market opportunities, you’re likely missing savings.
