    Description
    Red Deer Polytechnic is seeking an independent Utilities Management Consultant to provide strategic, turnkey advisory services for electricity and natural gas procurement, utility cost optimization, energy risk management, on-site generation integration, energy performance improvement, and long-term planning. The objective is to optimize RDP’s total delivered utility cost, budget certainty, operational resilience, emissions performance, and value for money while preserving RDP’s final decision-making authority for all supplier selection, hedging, contracting, and capital commitments.

    This is important because “best value” should not be limited to the lowest commodity price. For a campus, best value includes the commodity rate, delivery/tariff impacts, peak demand, consumption reduction, on-site generation performance, carbon goals, growth planning, risk tolerance, and administrative transparency.
