Recognized spend management experts to help companies drastically reduce rising power costs
ATLANTA - January 12, 2010 - NPI, a premier spend management services firm focused on reducing costs in complex spend categories, today announced the launch of its Energy practice. In addition to its technology, telecommunications and transportation advisory services, NPI will now help companies drastically reduce their energy spending through its spend management expertise. With a focus on large facilities ranging from corporate headquarters to manufacturing, NPI will help clients analyze their energy spending, select power providers and negotiate fair market pricing. As a result, companies may be able to reduce their power costs by as much as 10 percent or more in as little as four to 12 weeks.
Across every industry, there is a dire need for improved management of energy spending. Rising energy costs, compounded by a lack of competition in the marketplace, has made the cost of power a volatile variable for operational performance in 2010. Furthermore, with increased regulatory pressure for green initiatives, many energy providers are raising rates to compensate. This has put many companies at a severe disadvantage as they try to understand and negotiate complex rate structures.
"Right now, companies are struggling to balance their long term energy consumption initiatives - many of which require upfront spending - with the need to reduce operational costs. What these companies need is a way to jumpstart energy savings," said Jim Benjamin, COO, NPI. "This will allow them to focus on their long range energy initiatives without neglecting their fiscal responsibility to keep spending low."
NPI's Energy Spend Management practice will provide the following services to deliver immediate savings:
