Our Team
Managing Partner - James Hatch
When Energy Vision began back in 2001, fossil fuels were king. Natural gas prices had hit an all-time high, the United States relied on imports from foreign countries for crude oil, and renewables were barely on the radar. Wow, how times have changed!
Fossil fuels still play a pivotal role in meeting the world’s energy needs; however, growth in sustainability efforts have seen wind, solar, and hydro become cost-effective solutions. The US is now the largest producer of crude oil, natural gas production from shale plays have kept prices bearish, and we are now exporting LNG to help meet global demand. Today’s technology will undoubtedly change the landscape of our industry for years to come, and I am excited to lead a team to help you understand all the complexities associated with your energy needs.
One thing is certain in this industry…. Change! Imagine having a dedicated team whose sole purpose is to look ahead and find ways to proactively manage this change. A team who leaves no stone unturned when searching for value and views your energy needs as an asset to be optimized, protected and managed as if it were their own. We provide specialized knowledge to reduce your exposure to uncertain energy markets and to help meet organizational goals and objectives. Whether you are a small commercial entity, gas district or utility, or large industrial customer, energy is our business, and we work exclusively for you, allowing you to focus on your core business.
We are blessed to serve customers all over North America & Europe and hope you will consider having Energy Vision as part of your team!
Energy Vision is Your Team!
Regardless of the size of your organization, this is the advantage that Energy Vision offers. We provide the specialized knowledge to reduce your exposure to uncertain energy markets and to help meet your goals and objectives. Energy is our only business, and we work exclusively for you so you can focus on your core business.
To better serve you, we seek to understand the basics of your business. Additionally, it is important you understand the core beliefs Energy Vision adheres to:
Actual Price Must Be Identified and Supplied
Many companies are routinely taken advantage of by their supplier when they purchase supply. Energy price volatility is extreme and 10% intraday movement is not uncommon. Energy Vision is an independent company that will not profit from your transaction. Further, with real-time trading tools, we will identify price and hold your supplier accountable to give you the greatest price transparency possible.
Focus on Areas of Expertise
With a combined eighty plus years of experience in the transmission, distribution, marketing, trading, and utility sectors of the energy industry, Energy Vision is focused on an arena it understands and can derive value for its clients.
Free Advice Isn’t Free
The client should be the only source of revenue for the service provider. Many of our competitors offer consulting services for free; however, they generally receive commission from the supplier recommended to the client. Naturally, the selection process shifts from whoever offers the best service and price to those offering the best commission to the free service provider.
Objectivity is Essential
Having your energy supplier inform you what to pay is akin to asking a car salesperson what you should pay. Energy Vision does not sell commodities nor receive any compensation from such transactions, and that is true objectivity.
Services Must Be Guaranteed
Energy Vision’s team is competent and capable of providing the ultimate in energy procurement, hedging, and asset optimization solutions. With our years in the industry, we are very aware of the offerings of other energy service providers and are not afraid to compete to show you that we are the best service provider in the industry. Furthermore, we guarantee our service so you are assured performance and not encumbered with long-term and risky agreements for energy services.
Energy Should Be Treated as an Asset
Energy should be viewed as an asset and not simply a necessary evil. We doubt anyone is ever completely happy with their energy prices. Energy Vision recognizes you and your competitors are all in a similar situation. By developing proactive strategies, we can turn your energy exposure into a competitive advantage.
Costs Should Be Reasonable
Energy Vision’s costs are far less than what it would cost you to build a comparable energy management team, and with none of the associated headaches. There’s still a lot of darkness in the energy industry; we hope to remain your guiding light. With your support we will bring our vision of an industry where each entity is accountable to its counter-party, margins are minimal, assets are optimized, and energy becomes a competitive advantage to reality.
