Industry Challenges
Challenges
Public institutions operate under unique constraints that make energy procurement particularly challenging. Budget cycles, governance requirements, and public accountability create a procurement environment where transparency, defensibility, and fiscal responsibility are non-negotiable. Traditional energy procurement often fails to account for these institutional realities.
Budget certainty and fiscal planning
School districts and municipalities require multi-year budget certainty to support fiscal planning and board oversight. Energy costs must be predictable across budget cycles, with minimal exposure to market volatility that could disrupt planned expenditures.
Public procurement constraints
Public sector procurement processes require transparency, competitive bidding, and documented decision-making. Energy procurement must align with RFP requirements, board approval processes, and governance standards that differ from private sector approaches.
Limited tolerance for volatility
Public institutions have minimal capacity to absorb unexpected energy cost increases. Budget constraints and public accountability make volatility exposure particularly problematic, requiring conservative procurement structures that prioritize stability over potential cost savings.

Use Cases
Common Strategies
Multi-year fixed or layered pricing
Long-term fixed-rate contracts aligned with fiscal calendars provide budget certainty and eliminate volatility risk. We structure these agreements with layered pricing that accommodates growth, facility changes, and evolving operational needs while maintaining fiscal predictability.
RFP and contract advisory
We support transparent procurement processes that meet public sector requirements, providing RFP development, supplier evaluation, and contract negotiation support. Our advisory ensures defensible decisions aligned with board oversight and governance standards.
Risk-minimized procurement structures
Conservative procurement frameworks prioritize budget certainty and minimize exposure to market volatility. We design these structures to provide maximum protection while maintaining appropriate flexibility for operational requirements and long-term planning.
