Supplier Equality

Not all natural gas suppliers are created equal. They are in the energy business to sell their energy commodity and services to end-use customers and make a generous profit. Some are in it for the long haul while others focus selling their book to another supplier, and exit the market. Some are very good while others are, well, not so much.

Supplier Markup

Most suppliers buy their energy at wholesale prices, then add margin or headroom to create their current retail rates. Some suppliers simply desire a greater rate of return, while some charge horrendous markup at the CA border when compared to the City-Gate. We prefer Mid-Market pricing.

Pricing Fluctuation

We often see Indexed Rate pricing swings of $0.10- $0.30/dth, and Fixed Rate variations of $0.20 – 1.50/dth for pipeline gas, priced to the same delivery point, for the same term and load. If you are satisfied with your supplier, that’s great! But, if not, please take our “Supplier Challenge” before signing another contract.

Strategy

There are many factors and risk elements affecting both short and long-term pricing. If you would like us to review your current market position along with different types of Fixed and Indexed pricing, involving the futures market, partial hedges, cost-averaging or 100% swing pricing, please contact us to review your options. Take a look at our “Tips-Tricks-and Pitfalls” section.

Electricity

In California there are 22 Energy Service Providers (ESP’s)

Since electricity deregulated in 2001, Bmark Energy has worked with 15 ESP’s

Pricing

Pricing is not the only consideration when choosing an ESP but it’s still #1. We often see “Total Cost Savings” of $1-$8/MWH (.001- .008 cents/kWh). Some suppliers have lower/higher generation costs, but some also tack on on additional line item costs as well. The goal is to save money off the utility’s generation costs and avoid high pricing spikes.

Supplier Markup

Most ESPs buy wholesale and sell retail to California companies, with a wide-range of pricing markups. We prefer mid-market pricing which is much generally lower. Additionally, some suppliers offer staff and energy market webinars to help explain market conditions and methods to help avoid pricing pitfalls. Take advantage of them.

Types of Pricing

There are many types of energy pricing. Float the Day Ahead, Fix the “energy” component, block pricing, fix partial hedges (fix %/and float %), layer in fixed rate contracts to cost-average over time, and utilize 100% swing pricing on percentage layers to round out monthly usage fluctuations. There are also a variety of terms from 1-10 years available.

Supplier Challenge

Take our “Supplier Challenge” and we’ll show you the difference. Companies already in Direct Access have the ability to switch suppliers when their current supply contract expires, and the best time to start a search is 1-4 months before contract termination. See how our process operates.
