VIKRON works as your unbiased energy advocate. We strive to identify the best price and supply options in the natural gas market and offer these products and services to our clients.
Natural Gas Supply Procurement - VIKRON negotiates and arranges for your supply through non-exclusive agency agreements with natural gas suppliers. VIKRON is your natural gas supply negotiator, connecting you with the right suppliers.
Price and Risk Management Strategies - VIKRON designs a pricing and risk management strategy based on a client's risk tolerance and budgetary needs. This could be as straight-forward as a fixed priced or market based product, or it could involve more sophisticated option-priced/structured products. We evaluate each account carefully and recommend the strategy that is going to be most cost effective for your particular situation. Of course long term security and continuous access to the energy you need is our top priority.
Account Management - VIKRON analyzes the gas deliveries and storage bank injections or withdrawals in relation to our client's gas consumption. We arrange for the purchase of gas supply or sale of excess gas in order to keep your account within utility tariff provisions. We monitor the market continuously and recommend the most favorable time to buy and sell gas supply within the current month.
Utility Penalty Protection - VIKRON provides its clients with full protection from utility penalties. Our clients are responsible for providing accurate and timely meter reads on a weekly basis and for communicating process changes, shut-downs, start-ups, alternate fuel use or anything else which may affect the planned natural gas usage.
Rate schedule analysis - VIKRON compares our client's consumption activity with tariff provisions to be sure that the correct utility rate structure is in use.
Facility aggregation - VIKRON aggregates multiple facilities within a utility's service area. This can give the facilities an advantage by buying as a group and provide more operational flexibility. When needed, we work with the utility and adjust utility tolerances.
Energy Budget Planning - VIKRON works with its clients on energy budget forecasts by analyzing historical consumption data, future consumption projections, process or facility changes with forward energy prices.
Account Summary Reporting - VIKRON provides its clients with information regarding monthly consumption, monthly deliveries, storage activity and average cost of gas in storage. Customers are able to access their account information via VIKRON'S secure Client log-in.
Request for Proposal (RFP) - VIKRON also offers a more formal process for which we create a detailed letter outlining the purchase parameters of each account. The RFP letter will be sent to suppliers outside VIKRON's preferred circle of suppliers and can yield a more competitive purchasing environment and usually results in a better price for the client. VIKRON summarizes all of the supplier offers and presents these to the client with a recommendation.
Consulting Services - VIKRON offers a service to clients who want to stay with their current natural gas supplier or buy natural gas on their own. VIKRON evaluates existing deals and future supply offers to help the client achieve a more favorable deal.
