Real Savings. Real Clients.

Challenge

A mid-size steel fabricator was locked into a high fixed-rate electricity contract with no price transparency. Their annual electricity spend exceeded $1.2M and they had never competitively bid their supply.

Approach

Gastricity conducted a full energy audit, identified the contract renewal window, and issued a competitive RFP to 14 MISO-region suppliers. We negotiated a 24-month indexed contract with a price cap provision.

Result

Secured a 22% reduction in blended electricity rate, saving the client $264,000 over the contract term. Added a swing tolerance clause to accommodate production variability.

Challenge

A 300-bed hospital in the ERCOT market was exposed to volatile spot prices following contract expiration. Energy costs had spiked 31% year-over-year, creating budget pressure across departments.

Approach

Gastricity performed a load profile analysis and recommended a layered procurement strategy — fixing 70% of load on a 36-month contract while leaving 30% on a managed index to capture market dips.

Result

Reduced blended electricity cost by 19% versus the prior year and eliminated budget volatility. The hospital locked in rate certainty for three years.

Challenge

A commercial real estate firm managing 18 office properties across PJM had fragmented energy contracts — different suppliers, different terms, different renewal dates — making cost management nearly impossible.

Approach

Gastricity consolidated all 18 sites into a single portfolio RFP, standardized contract terms, and negotiated a master supply agreement with staggered renewal dates to reduce re-procurement risk.

Result

Achieved a 16% blended rate reduction across the portfolio and reduced administrative overhead by consolidating to a single supplier relationship. Annual savings of $312,000.

Challenge

A food processing plant with high natural gas demand for steam generation was on a utility default rate. With Henry Hub prices rising, management wanted price certainty for their annual $800,000 gas budget.

Approach

Gastricity analyzed forward natural gas curves and recommended a 12-month fixed-price supply contract timed to a seasonal price dip. We sourced bids from five competitive gas marketers in the Ohio market.

Result

Locked in natural gas supply at $0.31/MMBtu below the prevailing index, saving $248,000 over 12 months and providing full budget certainty for the fiscal year.

Challenge

A Texas independent school district with 22 campuses — including 3 high schools, 6 middle schools, and 13 elementary schools — was renewing electricity contracts individually through the state co-op program. With a combined annual electricity spend of $1.8M in the ERCOT market, the district had no competitive bidding process and was leaving significant savings unrealized.

Approach

Gastricity aggregated all 22 campuses into a unified load profile and ran a competitive RFP targeting ERCOT retail electric providers. We structured a 24-month fixed-price contract timed to the district's fiscal year and secured a summer peak demand provision to manage the district's high cooling load during non-instructional months.

Result

Secured a 21% reduction in blended electricity rate, saving the district $378,000 over the contract term. Fixed pricing gave the district's finance team full budget certainty and eliminated mid-year energy cost variances that had previously required emergency budget amendments.

Challenge

A large chemical manufacturer with interruptible gas service needed to add firm supply capacity for a new production line. Their existing supplier could not accommodate the volume increase at a competitive rate.

Approach

Gastricity sourced firm natural gas supply from three Gulf Coast marketers, negotiated a 24-month contract with daily swing provisions, and coordinated pipeline capacity arrangements with the local distribution company.

Result

Secured firm gas supply at 18% below the incumbent supplier's quote, enabling the production expansion while saving $173,000 over the contract term.
