| Utility Partners
was started in July of 1994 having as its purpose clear; to provide
excellent energy solutions
for Clients downstream of the meter. This is where energy decisions
and actions have the greatest impact and where the least amount of
support is provided by local utilities. In many respects, Utility
Partners carries with it many of the business principles and competencies
of Minnegasco Industrial Service®, a business operated by Minnesota-based
Minnegasco® until 1994.
As is the case with nearly all utilities, Minnegasco® was only
obligated to provide energy solutions/service up to the energy
meter; from that point it was the Customers responsibility. For
energy users to manage this situation effectively, especially with
the growth and volatility of energy prices, this responsibility
requires proactive involvement by energy experts who have the Company’s
best interests in mind. With the myriad of demands placed upon
Facility/Energy managers, the limited internal resources, and the
energy industry knowledge base changing so quickly, Utility Partners
has seen wonderful receptivity for it’s energy performance
services. The end result is that Customers have truly benefited
by having a Company with over 60 collective years of Energy Industry
experience working on their behalf. The primary focus of Utility Partners is to help our Customers
spend less of their time and money on energy by assisting in gaining
a full understanding of energy consumption including providing
sound recommendations which lower energy purchase costs while enhancing
overall reliability. Utility Partners stands ready to fund the
installation of energy efficient equipment or projects that will
help Customers operate more efficiently. A typical project may
involve gas piping, setting of equipment, installation of meters
and/or other controls. Typical customers have been bakeries, manufacturers,
concrete or agricultural processing plants. Utility Partners is committed to a tenet of “not costing
Customers anything” since it’s core services either
lower energy consumption or the cost of energy purchases which
create more in energy savings than whatever is charged. Utility
Partners is most pleased that to its knowledge, it has not had
a dissatisfied Customer in 10 years. If you are considering joining
the Utility Partners team, please hold fast to what were common
attributes of honesty, integrity, and diligence. If you are considering
having us help your Company, we hope we display these qualities
to you in our work.
