Increase Cash and Decrease Expenses We offer FREE Utility Bill Auditing Services in all States of the USA for the following account types: 1) Electricity and Natural Gas 2) Water/Sewer 3) Telecom and Cable Your Accounting Department works hard to make sure the bills get paid on time but may not have the time or ability to verify all the Rates, Taxes, Surcharges and calculations on your Utility bill. It can be challenging for companies to track and verify the accuracy of billing calculations across multiple utilities and facilities with numerous meters and accounts. Over 25% of audited utility bills have errors that can amount to millions of dollars in overcharges and unnecessary operating costs.

Increase CASH by receiving a refund that you didn’t know existed. Decrease Expenses by correcting errors and we make sure they don’t happen in the future. We use the most comprehensive utility bill auditing software and proprietary auditing processes in North America to scrutinize every calculation and line item in your bills. Our experienced auditing Team of 30 full time auditors will dig deep to inspect and verify the up to 150 or so cost components in every bill to make sure you have not been overcharged. Once the errors have been identified we will bring them to the attention of your utility so they can issue an immediate refund. If you are spending at least $8,000 per month in any utility category above it is worth taking 15 minutes to complete a simple agreement that will allow us to start the refund process before the statute of limitations stops you from getting a refund. The Easy Process 1) The paperwork is simple with our one page Bill Audit application and a one page LOA form that lets us communicate with your utility. 2) We complete the deep audit and evaluate the results. 3) If everything looks good and no errors are found then the service is FREE and you can sleep at night knowing that you are not being overcharged. 4) If we find errors, we will seek a refund from your utility or supplier. Once we successfully facilitate a refund and you receive the money, we will then and only then invoice you at a rate of 50% of the recovered savings. This is a contingency fee for your New Found Money – if nothing is recovered, you pay nothing.

1 - Utility Bill Auditing Services

Theoretical Example for Bill Auditing Theoretical Example below – Let’s assume that your facility uses $60,000 in monthly average electric, $30,000 in monthly average natural gas and $20,000 in monthly average water.

Average of five years bills for one facility equals $6,600,000: 1) Electricity – ($60k x 60) = $3,600,000. 2) Natural Gas – ($30k x 60) = $1,800,000. 3) Water – ($20,000 x 60) = $1,200,000

Let’s be conservative and say that there are only errors found on the electric and water bills at a 12.5% errors found recovery rate. With the contingency fee the you would receive $300,000 in refunds that would have never discovered without the Green Energy Experts deep utility bill audit services.

Let’s suppose that you have multiple facilities and only 7 of 28 the facilities had the above errors and qualified for a refund after auditing all the locations. This would be $2,100,000 in new found money for your organization with no risk and no budget required. There would also be additional savings from avoided over payments from the corrected errors moving forward. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by participating in the GEE audit program. Disclaimer – Refunds will vary based on the results of the audit and can be higher or lower than theoretical example above.

Decrease Energy Expenses - The United States is going through a deregulation process of breaking up the monopolies of the big power utilities just like when the phone companies deregulated almost 30 years ago. In deregulated states, energy consumers have the option to choose who they buy their electric and natural gas from. This entity is called a third party energy supplier and is a separate entity from the consumer’s local utility that delivers the power. The supplier will provide the power while the local utility will continue to distribute the power to the end user. You will always receive the same service from your local utility with or without a third party supplier. Unlike most energy consultants, Green Energy Experts represents you and not the suppliers so you get the best energy pricing available in the marketplace. There is no obligation to see your savings. This service is FREE and It is easy to see what your savings will be by completing our simple one page BID REQUEST FORM and by providing a recent copy of your electric or natural gas bill(s).

2 - Energy Procurement Services

Theoretical Example for Energy Procurement For the Theoretical Energy Procurement Example below we will assume the average facility uses $60,000 in monthly average electric and $30,000 in monthly average natural gas . Assuming your Facilities in Deregulated Qualifying Areas by State are: CA -7 (Electric & Gas), TX – 9 (Electric & Gas), IN – 2 (Gas), VA – 1 (Gas), PA -2 (Electric & Gas) and NY -1 (Electric & Gas).

Five year average power bills for one facility equals $4,800,000: 1) Electricity – ($60k x 60) = $3,600,000. 2) Natural Gas – ($30k x 60) = $1,800,000.

We will assume that all the above facilities are in a deregulated utility area and the supply portion of the bill is 75% of the bill total. This would equal $540,000 in electric supply charges and $270,000 in natural gas supply charges per year per qualifying facility. This equals $108,000.00 savings per facility that qualify for both electric and natural gas procurement services.

Assuming the auction results were an Annual Savings of 14% for electric and 12% for natural gas costs on the supply portion of the utility bill: 1) 19 Facilities qualify for Electricity – ($540,000 x 19 x 14%) = $1,333,800 savings per year 2) 21 Facilities qualify for Natural Gas – ($270,000 x 21 x 12%) = $680,400 savings per year

Using these conservative calculations would equal $2,116,800 per year in power expense bottom line reductions for your organization with no risk and no budget required. This would be $10,580,400 savings over 5 years. We can also provide Clean Green Electricity Procurement at a different cost structure to meet your sustainability needs. Your organization has everything to gain and nothing to lose by participating in the GEE Energy Procurement Process.

Disclaimer – Procurement savings can vary above and below the percentage savings above based on market conditions for each qualified facility.

Increase Revenue and Decrease Expenses As the demand for electricity continues to increase, utilities are continuously looking for ways to reduce demand on the grid to avoid system overload. Since energy cannot be stored efficiently on a large scale yet, utilities must meet the rises in demand with more generation from other sources like peaker plants or by purchasing power from outside their network. Less than half of the generation capacity in the U.S. comes from power plants designed to run all the time to meet local demand. The balance of the electric plants stand idle until they are needed to come online to help avoid a brownout or blackout situation. The USA’s electric grid is mainly antiquated and stressing the electric grid by pushing more electricity through transmission lines, distribution lines and substation equipment can cause problems such as voltage fluctuations, lose in efficient power distribution, flicker, etc. Machinery and equipment may stop working or not operate correctly at low voltage levels. The resulting affects for exceeding demand can be short term brown-outs in isolated areas to widespread blackouts that can cause damage to the grid and electrical equipment and even threaten life in extreme weather conditions. Our demand response program is one of the solutions to reduce electric demand during critical usage times. The utilities use demand response programs as an important tool for network operations and production planning. The program is currently open to qualifying facilities in CA, NY and Ontario, Canada. Additional programs open up in other States every Fall when the utilities reevaluate their demand response program capacity needs for the upcoming new annual cycle. Program Benefits and Features • This Program helps electric suppliers and grid operators reduce the stress on the grid at critical usage times by systematically reducing the network demand for electricity before it becomes unstable. • You Get Paid Handsomely for each event that you participate in during the program year because it helps prevent blackouts or brownouts. • Increase Revenue - Earn 2 different types of payments when you participate in an event: one for standing by (capacity payment) and one for actual electricity reduced (energy payment). Receive payments by check, not just a credit on your bill. • Decrease Expenses - This program also keeps your electricity costs lower during periods of high demand. • There is NO COST at any time to participate in this Program. There are NEVER ANY PENALTIES if you do not reduce your Usage during a reduction event. • Receive free interval meter and performance tracking software allow you to better manage your electric use. With most applications you can even view your energy usage online in real-time • Prevents dirty polluting peaker power plants from coming online during Critical Peak events. • Big Benefits to the Environment, your local community and to the over-taxed and antiquated electric grid system. Reduce your carbon footprint and Go green today! • Program runs on non-holiday weekdays only. • Advance notice of a Reduction Event gives you time to be prepared. You decide what you can or can’t reduce your usage during an event. • It is very easy to get started so please contact us today for details.

3 - Demand Response Programs

Theoretical Example for Demand Response

For the Theoretical Demand Response Example below we will assume the average correctional facility uses $60,000 in monthly average electric. Assuming your Qualifying Demand Response Facilities by State are: CA -2 and NY -3. Five year average electric bills for one facility equals $3,600,000: We will assume that with the participation in the program each facility only reduced 1500 kilowatts per year. This would equal approximately $65,000 in revenue per year per facility. Assuming 5 Facilities are Participating = $325,000 in revenue per year This would equal $1,625,000 in revenue over a 5 year period for with no risk and no budget required. Disclaimer – Income will vary based on the demand response program and by the number of reduction events that each facility participates in and the demand reduction per event. The actual saving will be provided when requesting a Free customized proposal for your facilities.

THE FACILITY PROFILE Citi Field - Home of MLB’s NY Mets since 2009 Located in Flushing, NY Stadium capacity: > 41,000 people Visitors per year: > 4 million THE SITUATION During a routine electricity bill audit, analysts spotted drastic demand and usage increases during the summer months of 2011 when compared to 2010. During that time, there were not any significant renovations that would account for the >1.3 MW increase in demand and the 2,000 MWh increase in usage. It became apparent there had been a severe error made by the local utility. THE SOLUTIONS After pouring over billing information for about two days, the results of the audit concluded the error was caused by ConEdison’s billing system incorrectly reading the “meter multiplier” and the “meter totalizer”. ConEdison was, in essence, double billing two of the meters. After unsuccessfully petitioning with the ConEdison account representative, our Auditing Manager initiated contact with a high level ConEdison manager who was more willing and able to understand the petition. Once the manager reviewed the evidence that was revealed in the audit, a “cancel and rebill” was ordered immediately.

Success Stories in the Energy Network REMUNERATION After weeks of prodding and deep auditing, the analyst presented its case so well that ConEdison was forced to take notice. A letter from a Citi Field executive described the outcome as follows: HAPPY CUSTOMER “Thanks again for all your help Mark. We actually just got an adjustment invoice from ConEd today that unfortunately has no detailed information. The good news is it’s for $837,529.42! Thanks so much again.” – Michael Dohnert, Manager - Ballpark Operations

THE FACILITY PROFILE Private University near Baltimore, MD Over 30,000 students Five acre campus THE SITUATION The University was approached by an Energy Specialist in early 2008, which happened to coincide with a booming energy market (high prices). Expectedly, the university’s utility bills drastically increased when compared to the three prior years. To an outsider, they were doing everything correctly (comparing rates, buying energy blocks during temporary market dips, and paying their bills on time). During a routine bill analysis, the auditor identified two areas that required a more investigation. THE SOLUTIONS The first billing mistake was quite obvious; the non-profit was being charged sales tax. The University had been through a tumultuous few years and due to downsizing was forced to out-source their accounts payable department. The company they hired was capable of paying the bills on time, but they did not have the knowledge or inclination to scrutinize their clients’ bills to ensure accuracy. The auditor contacted the utility on the University’s behalf and recovered the sales tax that was incorrectly billed. The second billing error was invisible to the untrained eye, as it was related to a system’s operator charge. Utility tariffs regulate charges, fees, and taxes that suppliers are required to pass on to all customers in accordance with the law. All supply contracts stipulate that any change in law or change in a tariff can and will be passed along to the customer. This includes decreases! The analysts were aware of a significant decrease in specific tariff charges and could surmise with a little investigative work that the supplier was still billing the University using the old tariff charges. The recovery process was then started since the overcharges spanned over a six month period. (1 Facility name is withheld for strategic purposes)

Success Stories in the Energy Network RESULTS – The analysts calculated the first two year billing errors at a cost of $1.2 million. Negotiating with utility can be an intricate and protracted process, but the compulsory experience auditing Team easily facilitated a quick Settlement for the full amount. The whole process took about six months. The university was written a check for the $1.2 million plus interest. The second billing error that was found was resolved through a dispute process and resulted in a $2,400 refund by the supply company. The University’s President was thrilled with the results.

COMPANY PROFILE - Regional Financial Institution headquartered in New York THE SITUATION Feeling the strain of the “Sub-Prime Crisis”, a regional financial institution was seeking assistance with managing their energy costs. At the time, energy procurement was being managed independently by each of the institution’s 27 locations. Monthly billing was then sent to corporate headquarters, where the accounts payable department had the daunting task of processing 54 bills, 27 delivery bills and 27 supply bills. The time and additional finances expended in this manner snow balled, emphasizing the institutions monetary tension. The institution was in dire need of reducing expenses. In addition to their financial crisis, the 27 facilities operated by the institution were spread over three utility territories. Of the incumbent suppliers working with the institution’s procurement and energy needs, none could competitively supply all three territories. This inability created confusion and added unnecessary complexity to expense allocations. THE SOLUTIONS The institution needed a low cost, reputable supplier who could serve each of the three utility territories, limiting bills & expenses. Using the blind auction platform, a customized Request for Proposal (RFP) auction process, rates were obtained from suppliers who met each of the stringent conditions addressing the institution’s needs. The suppliers were required to serve all 27 facilities across the three utility boundaries, provide all-inclusive competitive pricing, synchronize consolidated billing, and have a B+ or better rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). By leveraging our weight in the market place and drawing upon existing relationships, our auction results came in 11 percent below the incumbents’ average renewal offer and 18 percent below the utility’s “Price to Compare” . The winning supplier was also able to bill the firm through their standard utility bill – eliminating 27 bills and ridding the monthly burden of the accounts payable process. Using the auction platform, the financial institution saved countless work hours and $252,380 on their energy bills. (1 Facility name is withheld for strategic purposes)

Success Stories in the Energy Network BENEFITS - The institution saved $252,380 on energy bills. By consolidating the customers billing and enlisting only suppliers who could service all 27 locations across various utility territories, the billing process was simplified and minimized countless work hours and frustrations. By analyzing the past 12 to 24 months of our customers electric and natural gas usage data, the account manager obtained the proper information to prepare & submit a customized RFP to pre-qualified suppliers in the energy network. We use discernment in choosing suppliers so that the specific needs of our customer are being met and to ensures that they sign with a reputable supplier every time. By pitting top rated suppliers against each other in a blind auction bid, we guarantee a return of the most competitive rates in the deregulated energy market. Our analysts then scrutinize the auction results, prepare a proposal to include pricing, savings projections, an energy usage profile and recommendations specifically catered to the customer. We fight in your corner. If the returned rates aren’t in your favor, we get back in the ring to bring down supplier pricing. In addition we will monitor the market on our customers’ behalf and should a shift in the market happen that would be beneficial for the client to change contracts, we can renegotiate your contract for further savings.

More About Energy Deregulation FYI - Initially utilities were not regulated. Early utilities would often compete for the same customers including building duplicate distribution systems. Naturally, competition was greatest in urban areas. It was cheaper for utilities to compete in densely populated areas where wealthy customers were more likely to use power. Historically, the cost of generating power declined as utilities built ever-larger power plants, which increased efficiency and reduced power production costs. Increasing electric demand required more generating plants with continually increasing output, which reduced costs further as well as increasing the utilities rate payer base. This era was a win-win for everyone. Consumers had abundant, low cost power and regulators oversaw declining rates with increased electric distribution that also acted as a catalyst for economic growth. The utilities became very big business and by the early 1980s, the situation appeared to be out of control, with most utilities requesting routine, often significant, rate increases and several utilities were on the verge of bankruptcy. The regulation of utilities is based on the inherent risk that a single monopoly supplier will overcharge consumers due to the lack of competition and high demand. As a result, regulators began to take a much more active role in utility planning. One response was for regulators to require utilities to evaluate conservation and other alternatives rather than automatically building new plants. This process, called integrated resource planning (IRP), was successful in keeping retail rates in check, although rates were still thought to be too high. By the early 1990s it was becoming apparent that electric industry regulatory approaches were not working. IRP was successful in holding rate increases in check & stimulating consumer choice, but the process was highly adversarial, time consuming and expensive. Rates were still high and significant differences in pricing existed between adjacent utilities that caused issues for consumers.

Until recently the local utility set a price, called a rate or tariff. Next, it metered the energy used & sent the customer a bill based on the rate. Finally, the customer pays the bill. Facility managers can participate in the regulatory process through which rates are set, but individual consumers have little influence over final prices. Now, however, this structure is undergoing a profound change. State legislators & utility regulators are now letting consumers choose among a variety of new energy suppliers on the basis of competitive prices & products. This trend is called deregulation, or restructuring.

In the traditional system, although the utility may purchase power from neighboring utilities, it is primarily responsible for its own generation, transmission and distribution of power to all of the retail customers in its service territory. There are two main components in your electric bill which are the generation and distribution charges. In the deregulated supply system, generation and distribution are unbundled and customers are no longer captive but are free to purchase from any suppliers on the grid. The purchasing of power is done via market mechanisms like the power exchange and transmission scheduling and are conducted by the Independent System Operator (ISO) of that service area.

Two Major Benefits of deregulation: 1) Power deregulation requires an open markets and transparent pricing. Transparent prices are prices that can be readily determined by market participants, including consumers, in an open environment. 2) Power prices for consumers go down in an open market.

See the bill example to the right. All electric and natural gas bills are

broken into two major categories or parts: Supply Charges and Delivery Charges. Most bills will also have a

12 month usage snapshot.

Your business will always maintain the same level of service from your

local utility who delivers your electric and natural gas to your facilities

when using a third party supplier.

**Blind Auction services are used to reduce Supply Charges only. Delivery

Charges will remain the same (except for a reduction in taxes in certain states).**
