Who Is Bmark Energy

 

1993 was the dawn of California’s natural gas deregulation. After 12 year’s with SoCalGas Co., Robert Kramb recognized the new deregulated landscape opportunities, and left the utility to start Bmark Energy. As a natural gas consultant, Bmark Energy provided companies with a $0.40/dth savings, which in a $2 market resulted in a 20% commodity savings for companies At that time there were three natural gas 3rd party suppliers in California.

As the energy market evolved, Bmark Energy expanded its natural gas services to cover businesses in SoCalGas, SDG&E, and PG&E, and in 2001, when the CPUC deregulated electricity through the Direct Access program, Bmark Energy expanded its expertise to include both natural gas and electricity.

This period marked a crucial learning phase, where we came to understand the nuances and benefits of working with multiple suppliers to optimize our portfolio of energy services to customers. We also realized that not all energy suppliers or ESPs are created equal.

Today, with over 33 years of experience since the inception of Energy Deregulation, Bmark Energy collaborates with a select group of trusted suppliers statewide. We offer a diverse range of energy products, pricing options, and terms tailored to meet the unique energy supply demands of companies across various industries. We understand the California’s energy markets, energy suppliers, the CPUC regulatory environment, and the need to provide energy cost-saving approaches to an ever-changing industry. We look forward to working with your company.
