Energy Pricing & Resource Planning

Strategic Pricing & Rate Design

Consumers in either a regulated or competitive energy market benefit from Frontier's expertise in retail pricing. Frontier achieves cost savings through its knowledge of regulatory procedures, retail providers, Independent System Operator guidelines, and gas-price trends. Before your contract expires, contact Frontier to:

  1. Evaluate market prices

  3. Structure a request for price proposals
  4. Contact, evaluate, and select your retail supplier
  5. Explain contract terms and conditions

With rising gas prices, billing errors may go unnoticed. If your regulated-rate energy bills seem out of line, contact Frontier to for a billing and operational practices audit. Billing errors are costly, but difficult to identify without expert assistance. Frontier's rate and engineering specialists review bill histories and utility tariffs to determine whether:

  1. The rate is correctly calculated
  2. The lowest-cost rate is in effect
  3. Load and usage changes can generate significant cost savings
