After studying the client’s demand profile, Stanwich recommended a new approach to buying power.  By shifting their heavy manufacturing to off-peak hours, there was a tremendous opportunity to capture cost savings due to low wholesale power prices.  Since the client was on a fully fixed rate in the past, Stanwich secured a favorable on-peak block and structured the contract to allow the off-peak hours to float on the index market. The result: A year-over-year cost savings of 17%.
