Energy Procurement

Thanks to energy deregulation, organizations can now manage and control their energy costs in ways never before thought possible. Before deregulation, you had no choice and therefore you did not need to pay attention to the energy markets, you simply paid the bill like everyone else. But, the reality is that savings do not come to you by default, You Must Choose! In a deregulated market you must decide who to buy from, when to buy, what type of service agreement, how long to contract or whether you should consider a market based rate.

Cogeneration

As visionaries in the industry, America Approved had the foresight to recognize that micro turbines would become widespread for distributed power (combined heat and power applications).

Through our strategic alliance with Capstone we offer our commercial clients a revolutionary Hybrid energy solution.

As one of the nation's largest energy procurement advisors, America Approved advises organizations on how to buy, use and manage energy to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in their operations.

Our objective is the same as yours—to obtain the most economical supply arrangement available
