Energy advice and strategy for colocation and hosting operators

Changes in tenant demand can affect a facility’s energy consumption, purchasing commitments, and budget. Adding capacity also requires decisions about utility service, backup power, and the timing of new load.

5 reviews usage, contracts, and expected operating changes to recommend purchasing and hedging strategies. We help forecast energy costs, evaluate resiliency options, and assess opportunities to manage demand within your facility’s operating requirements.

How we help

  • Energy procurement and hedging: Evaluate purchasing structures, contract terms, and price exposure based on current usage and anticipated changes in tenant demand.

  • Budgeting and forecasting: Prepare energy budgets that account for contract terms, tenant load fluctuations, and planned growth.

  • Peak demand management: Review demand-related costs and assess practical options for managing consumption during relevant peak periods.

  • Reliability planning: Evaluate backup generation, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, microgrids, and other resiliency options.

  • Project evaluation: Provide financial analysis, review proposals, and assist with vendor selection for generation and resiliency projects.

  • Sustainability: Evaluate renewable energy purchasing options and support ESG strategy development, implementation, and communications.

Services depend on your facility, location, utility arrangements, and operating requirements.
