CLEAN ENERGY PROCUREMENT

Reduce the Cost
of Energy

Clean Energy Is Within Reach

Depending on where you live, your energy comes from a mix of coal-fired plants, natural gas, wind, solar, and more. With Laudato Si guiding its path, Catholic Energies can help you understand that mix and seek ways to tilt cleaner and cheaper.

A simple analysis of your monthly energy bills and state regulations can provide information that guides your decision making. Depending on which state you live in, you can procure entirely clean energy or a mix that better satisfies both Laudato Si and budget.

Do You Like All the Fees on Your Energy Bill?

Catholic Energies will review your current energy use and existing agreements in order to identify procurement opportunities that may lower costs for your organization.

When it makes sense, we can aggregate demand across facilities and run a competitive RFP with vetted suppliers. Your utility will continue delivering power without interruption while your organization considers cleaner energy options, better pricing, and terms that support your long-term goals.

  • “The Wheaton Franciscan Sisters Corporation eagerly approved a solar project spearheaded by Catholic Energies. Their leaders worked to ensure the agreement was structured to meet our specific needs. We now have our solar panels in place and are pleased to be joining others in moving to solar power as well as saving money.”

  • Clean energy procurement involves sourcing electricity or gas, most commonly in deregulated energy states, from renewable or lower-cost energy suppliers through competitive bidding. This can reduce utility costs while supporting renewable energy development and your organization’s sustainability goals. In regulated energy states, procurement analyses can often lower utility bills by interpreting the fine print in your favor.

  • We analyze your current utility contracts, aggregate demand where possible, and run a competitive RFP (request for proposals) with vetted suppliers. This ensures you receive the best energy pricing and contract terms available. That RFP can stipulate any requirements—e.g., increased percentage of renewable electricity.

  • No. Energy procurement changes only affect the supplier, not the delivery infrastructure. Your utility company continues to deliver power without interruption. The only change you see is utility bills decreasing.
