Our Process
At NEA we are not afraid to shatter conventional ideas, and break the mold in our processes, fostering innovation and creativity.
1. Evaluation
Your energy advisor learns about your business and identifies your energy needs. Be prepared to discuss:
Your day-to-day operations
Terms of your current contract
Your internal purchasing process
Risk tolerance
Planned efficiency upgrades
2. Data Collection
To start the procurement process, your energy advisor will ask for:
Invoice(s)
Copy of Current Agreement
Authorization Letter
3. RFP Distribution
We send the information you provide to our carefully selected supply partners in your area. Suppliers are chosen based on numerous factors, such as creditworthiness, customer service, and competitive pricing.
4. Proposal Review
During this part of the process, we will compile the results into a Supplier Summary and Recommendation document that shows a supplier offerings comparison and highlights our recommendation.
5. Product Term & Supplier Selection
During this stage, your advisor will talk you through each supplier’s offering and help you choose the best product, rate, and term that matches your needs.
6. Contract Review & Execution
Once the product and term are chosen, your advisor will:
Request an agreement from the selected supplier.
Review the contract language for you and send it to you for signature.
Send the contract to the supplier on your behalf and confirm it has been executed.
Provide the countersigned copy when it’s available.
