AH&LA's National Energy Procurement Program Benefits the Bottom Line
As part of the AH&LA's ongoing efforts to bring our members added value through cost savings programs, we have contracted with Ernst &Young (E&Y) Energy Advisory Services to administer a National Energy Procurement Program. This voluntary program is designed to provide cost-effective energy procurement services by leveraging our large membership base to obtain highly competitive energy prices and discounted advisory fees.

The program offers the following benefits:

• Discounted (preferred) electricity and natural gas pricing not otherwise available on an individual basis.
• Allows members to obtain deeply discounted procurement service fees.
• Cost savings or control opportunities to members before they have to commit to participate.
• Members determine their procurement strategy with advisory assistance from E&Y and benefit from E&Y's experience in multi-state competitive energy procurements, market assessments, market timing, supplier prequalification, and favorable contract terms.
• Continuous monitoring of energy markets identifies future savings opportunities for members.
• Access to a web-based information platform providing specific procurement and market information that aids in preparing budgets and making procurement and energy efficiency decisions.
