Gas Marketing
Commercial customers have the opportunity to control energy costs for natural gas by choosing a natural gas supplier. When negotiating natural gas supply costs with a gas marketer, you might realize cost savings. TECO Partners can work with you to negotiate the best rate possible for natural gas supply to serve your business.
Gas Management
With your interests in mind, as part of your Gas Management we provide you with:
Initial Assessment
Based on historical gas usage, this initial assessment will analyze usage, peak loads and seasonal fluctuations. The report also helps to identify alternative purchasing risk management strategies. Current natural gas agreements are also reviewed.
Risk Management
Energy commodity costs can be volatile and hard to predict and budget. Locking in a competitive rate can help keep costs from drastically swinging month to month. Hedging options are shared along with a realistic plan for moving forward.
