"EAI has been indispensable in overseeing a complex, 10 million square foot portfolio representing more than 120 schools. EAI has partnered with our division since 2007, running procurement processes that strictly adhere to NWPTA standards while delivering quarterly variance analyses and budget projections we can genuinely rely on, and their guidance consistently protects public education dollars."
"EAI is a trusted partner in energy and utilities management. As a longstanding client, we have experienced firsthand the value their team consistently delivers, not only in driving cost efficiencies, but also in providing the kind of strategic insights that support long-term planning and informed decision making. Their data-driven approach and transparent communication have enabled us to optimize our energy portfolio and forecast with confidence, even in volatile energy market conditions."
"As one of Canada's largest logistics companies, Mullen Group oversees more than 30 independent subsidiaries in Alberta. For more than 15 years, EAI has helped guide our energy purchase decisions to design customized strategies to ensure our electricity and natural gas costs remain competitive. They've also been instrumental in assisting with account set up, day-to-day transactions, and answering any billing or cost questions that arise in a professional and timely manner."
"At Pomeroy, hospitality is about creating comfort, high quality, and genuine connection, and that is exactly the experience we get with Lisa at EAI. She takes the time to understand our regional operations, advocates for our best interests in volatile energy markets, and brings a thoughtful, personal dedication to everything she touches. She truly embodies the kind of trusted partnership we value."
"Transitioning our municipal portfolio away from a traditional aggregation program to an open, competitive procurement model was a pivotal move for the City of Beaumont. Guided by EAI, that transition immediately unlocked $145,000 in annual cost savings while actively dampening market volatility. EAI builds comprehensive utility forecasts that consistently hit within 5% of actual expenditures year after year, while providing proactive management of our ever-changing portfolio."

The energy utilities industry is complex and constantly changing, yet our story is simple. Since energy deregulation began in North America, organizations have struggled to find effective supply procurement and management: knowing what, when, and how to buy electricity and natural gas as a traded wholesale commodity. EAI was built to solve exactly that.
Energy is one of the largest operating expenses in any organization, and managing it well takes expertise, resources, and dedication. We deliver that as a virtual extension of our clients' operations team, for a nominal fraction of their overall utilities budget.
