OCTOBER 202419ENERGY CONSULTINGTOP 20PROVIDERS 2024Rising energy costs and unpredictable energy markets pose significant challenges for many businesses. Daily fluctuations in natural gas and electricity prices can substantially impact operations and profitability, often overwhelming many companies. Fortunately, experts in the energy management field offer solutions and recommendations geared at helping businesses lower energy costs and provide them with much-needed relief.American Gas & Electric Group LLC (American GEG), a leading North American energy consulting and utility construction management firm, is one of the experts within its field that strives to assist businesses of all sizes facing these types of energy-related challenges. As a respected Christian organization, it provides strategic energy management recommendations to multinational corporations, regional chains and smaller entities with only a few locations. Its expertise in complex energy markets and state regulations, coupled with a proven track record of helping clients achieve financial and operational goals, has earned it a stellar reputation across several industries. While American GEG serves various sectors, its client base is predominantly in the hospitality industry, including restaurants and hotels.American GEG understands its client's needs and employs a strategic, comprehensive energy plan, which may include either its exclusive 360 Energy Management Plan or Guaranteed Energy Savings Plan. "With our comprehensive guidance, we help our clients manage even the most unexpected challenges that can affect their operations," says Randy Carrasco, CEO. By implementing these plans, American GEG provides clients with tailored energy solutions for both short-term and long-term goals across multiple sectors, allowing them to optimize energy usage, reduce costs and achieve sustainability goals.That said, American GEG's strength lies in its ability to customize innovative solutions based on each client's needs and geographical footprint. For instance, a client with three locations in California, twelve in Texas and forty-two in New York will have their energy management needs assessed and prioritized by their team. This assessment determines which specific strategies can make the biggest impact on the client's bottom line with the shortest turnaround. Such clients can be placed into group buying pools, leveraging economies of scale to lower energy costs across multiple states or maybe into a hybrid block and index option that can also maximize profitability for all their sites.Beyond energy management, American GEG offers comprehensive utility construction management and support. It oversees projects during new construction phases, by setting up utility services efficiently and timely. The company provides clients with the most cost-effective utility options to expedite electricity, gas and water delivery to new locations. Working closely with utility companies, it ensures finalized drawings are reviewed, necessary utility permits are secured and on-site visits with electric and gas companies are coordinated correctly to expedite utility meter installations.Lastly, as a streamlined, minority-owned business with over 20 years of experience within the industry, American GEG has found that fewer management layers and highly specialized teams provide clients with the best direct access to senior management and its CEO. This approach sets it apart from its competition and has proven invaluable given its North American operations span four time zones. This direct line of communication is crucial for urgent matters requiring a true hands-on approach. At the same time, it ensures clients receive the personalized attention and customer service they have come to love and respect.
