THE CHALLANGE
 A franchise group of multiple fast-food restaurants in central Ohio operated during a public health crisis and needed to find additional cost savings to ensure future viability in the face of reduced sales.Â
Navigating energy market options was not an area of internal expertise, and the executive team had little time to pursue energy options while managing crisis operations.Â
HOW TPI SOLVED THE PROBLEM
- Natural Gas Procurement
- Electricity Procurement
- Advisory ServicesÂ
- LED Lighting Efficiency
 When the franchise group outsourced its energy to TPI, they benefited from deep domain expertise, professional services, and a vendor-neutral e-sourcing platform without being distracted by a time-consuming procurement process.Â
The group’s unique requirements included a procurement contract that would reward them for energy efficiency via LED projects and vendor-neutral prices, rolled into one unified energy strategy that would leverage procurement best practices.Â
TPI’s solution included an Advanced Buying Strategy with an adjustable contract for capacity costs that took advantage of future cost reduction from an LED retrofit. In addition, we consolidated all the meters into a single energy contract.Â
