Utilities / Energy

Comprehensive Utility Program Review

CITEC can help you manage your utility services by starting with a comprehensive review of your utility budgets, your utility systems, and your utility operations. This service includes a comprehensive look at your use of electricity, natural gas, propane, water, wastewater treatment, and telecommunications.

Many businesses recognize utility services as critical backbone systems and expenditure items that are often "fixed" by some other party or consideration. CITEC strives to help companies understand their options within the utility industry and to regain some self destiny in a major company expense area.

Supply-Side Optimization

Do you know how or where the commodity and delivery parts of your energy budgets are spent? Do you know how local water rates are established for your service classification?

CITEC can help you optimize your utility procurements, by making sure that every dollar spent on essential utility services is spent wisely. We have the capabilities to: review utility tariff and service offering options, negotiate with service and commodity providers, identify load aggregation opportunities, establish taxable versus non-taxable usage figures, and analyze fuel switching issues. Other capabilities include pursuit of special programs and grant opportunities through federal, state, utility, and private entities. CITEC can help make your organization a savvy utility marketplace participant.

Demand-Side Optimization

Are you using systems, such as your plant electrical systems, and machinery to their maximum potential and efficiency? Are you burning utility budget dollars unnecessarily? Our services include examining and auditing: 1) energy efficiency of motors, lighting, and equipment, 2) prospects for computerized demand control development, 3) distributed electric generation and co-generation feasibility, 4) integrated emergency power systems /load controls systems, and 5) optimal distribution system design alterations and operational methods. Other tools include service reliability audits and analysis along with disaster recovery planning. CITEC takes a highly quantitative approach to intelligent utility demand-side analysis and management. Let CITEC help you optimize the demand side of your utility operations.

Implementing Positive Utility Changes

CITEC offers assistance well beyond identifying utility related improvements. Our strategic work is backed by "hands on" implementation assistance. If you lack the available staff or expertise to carry out identified positive changes, CITEC offers turnkey style project implementation services. When called upon, we will bring our expertise directly to your facility in order to act as your project manager on complex utility matters. We can serve as a true partner, functioning as a seamless extension of your professional staff.
