FOR OPERATIONS IN ALBERTA AND ONTARIO
Energy Desk
Energy is one of the largest costs in an industrial operation, and one of the least examined. Energy Desk reviews what your operation pays, what it can capture, and what it may soon have to prove, for businesses in the Alberta and Ontario competitive energy markets.
The cost nobody owns
In most operations, energy sits in a drawer. A supply contract was signed years ago and rolls forward on its own terms. Incentive programmes open and close while capital projects go ahead without them. Buyers, lenders and regulators ask for emissions evidence, and the operation has bills, not answers. None of this is carelessness. It is what happens when a major cost has no owner. Energy Desk gives it one.
What the Energy Diagnostic examines
The diagnostic is a fixed scope review, built from your own records. It examines five things.
- Twelve months of consumption and cost, taken from your bills, site by site.
- Your current contract position, including the expiry date, and what happens if the contract rolls forward untouched.
- The supply options open to you in your market, set out in plain terms.
- The incentives your planned projects may match, with the value, the source and the closing date of each one shown, and the stacking rules checked before any number is quoted.
- The evidence your buyers and lenders may ask for next, and what it would take to produce it.
The diagnostic ends with the next three actions, in order. It is useful on its own, whether or not anything follows it.
What follows the diagnostic
Procurement support and contract management
When a supply decision makes sense, we prepare the comparison, manage the process, and arrange the contract. The fee we earn is disclosed to you in writing before anything is signed. After signing, we manage the contract: renewal dates are diarised and worked well before expiry, statements are checked, and the file stays current.
Incentive capture support
Published programmes pay real money toward retrofits, fleet and equipment decisions, and energy projects, and most of it expires unclaimed because the paperwork carries rules and dates. We match your projects to live programmes, prepare the applications at a flat fee, and monitor the windows so a closing date never decides for you. We play no role in any approval decision, and we charge no percentage of any grant.
Clean energy credits and reporting support
When your buyers, or your own public claims, need proof, we build the evidence file: a Scope 1 and Scope 2 inventory from your own records, support with buyer questionnaires, and clean energy credits sourced and retired inside the registry in your company's name, so any claim you print can be produced on request.
Who Energy Desk is for

If your operation buys its energy in Alberta or Ontario and nobody owns the contract, Energy Desk was built for you.
How it works
Book the diagnostic
You share twelve months of bills and your current contract. We confirm the scope and the fixed fee in writing before we begin.
Receive the review
You get the findings in one document: what you pay, where the contract stands, what your projects can capture, and the next three actions in order.
Decide what follows
Procurement, incentive applications and reporting support each carry their own scope and their own fee, agreed in writing before work starts. Nothing rolls forward without your decision.
Questions, answered plainly
Do you guarantee savings?
No. Anyone who guarantees a saving on a market price is guessing with your money. What we stand behind is the work: a complete review of your bills and your contract position, programme matches with values and sources shown, and clear next actions.
What does the diagnostic cost?
The diagnostic is a fixed fee, set by the size of the operation and confirmed in writing before we begin. There is no charge for the first conversation.
Which markets do you serve?
Energy Desk serves businesses with sites in Alberta and Ontario, the two Canadian provinces where commercial customers can choose their energy supplier. If your sites are elsewhere, the incentive and reporting work may still apply, and we will tell you plainly in the first conversation.
Who decides whether an incentive application is approved?
The programme does. We prepare and file the work, and we play no role in the approval decision. We charge flat fees for the work itself, and no percentage of any grant.
What do you need from us to start?
Twelve months of energy bills and your current supply contract, if you have one. That is enough for the diagnostic to begin.
