Welcome to AFI Energy Consulting

The State of Texas legislature has approved the use of procurement auctions when purchasing utilities like electricity. Many state and city agencies follow the state guidelines and use them because they are more accurate and more efficient. Auctions always provide the best price. AFI Consulting has developed a process that goes beyond price and ensures even higher protections specifically within the customer contract and that combined with the auction process is second to none. Wasting your staff's time searching for approved vendors and pricing is futile. AFI consulting combined with Mantis systematic online auction eliminates the guess work and wasted time.

A Deeper Dive Into Reverse Auction

Electricity is a commodity that is produced from commodities, so time is critical; prices change every day and are affected by supply and demand not to mention the delivery of the produced electron you are going to purchase. Time is expensive, sometimes short term contract are less expensive and others long terms are but it is always less expensive by 20 – 30% to be contracted. AFI Consulting has eliminated the pain of dealing with day-to-day pricing from different brokers through our systematic reverse auction platform combined with the GEPA. As soon as you receive a price; it changes so you are looking for good information not price, price is relative to the information.

There are over 100 suppliers called Retail Electric Providers or REP’s in the United States, and not all of them are financially sound. In Texas there are 7 Utilities like ONCOR, Texas New Mexico Power and Light, AEP, Center Point, all are regulated by region so depending where your meter load (building, well, whatever) is located in the state, is who you will deal with. You do not have a choice in the delivery. AFI and Mantis ensures that the top 20 REPs are financially sound to meet your supply need for the term you need it. Do not fall victim to false advertising, the solar and wind all flow into the same delivery lines. Less than 2% of the electricity in Texas is Solar or Wind, the rest is Crude, Coal, Natural Gas, Steam or Nuclear not in that order.

AFI Consulting's real-time bidding auction will eliminate costly time for your enterprise and guarantee the best contract rates and terms available. We effectively time events and pit all approved suppliers with our customer(s) in a timed event which eliminates the unproductive time and confusion of broker gimmicks, emails and phone calls like other procurement processes. The entire procedure lasts less than an hour. The process is completely auditable, meaning your managers and officer(s) will receive a complete procurement report and contract for their records. You pay nothing for our consulting services, the winning supplier rewards us.

UDRs or Usage Data Reports

At AFI Consulting, we provide UDRs or Usage Data Reports to our customers and use them as a training tool. These reports play a critical role in reducing the cost of electricity for our customers and providing them with a thorough understanding of how they use it. Moreover, these reports enable customers to see a critical and sometimes dangerous aspect of the delivery of electricity called the Power Factor.

Load and Peak Management Equipment

We are an exclusive dealer for the maxi volt maxivolt.com and similar systems for restaurants and retail locations, which smoothly stager large loads like HVAC units and freezer compressors and turn off unneeded lighting. Systems like these will reduce peak power by 20% (delivery side of the bill) and 20% off the kWh usage (energy side of your bill). This can save thousands of dollars per year alone. One Church who had a HVAC computer program was surprised to see the UDR and find out that the system we not dialed in correctly. By seeing exactly how their load was peaking they were able to cut their bill by 44% and that cost them nothing because it is what we do for every client.

Approved by The State of Texas

Group Electric Procurement Auction or GEPA is designed more for our larger “multi-location” clients from 100,000 kWh or larger. We have taken groups of independent businesses in a community and combined them, this happens through churches, chambers and other organizations, the larger the load demand the better the price. The GEPAs unique design promotes a seamless process that excite Suppliers for best price.
