Case Study Result
Overview
Liebovich Steel & Aluminum Company has produced quality metal products for over 60 years. Located on 50 acres in Rockford, Illinois, its 500,000 sq. ft. facility employs more than 300 skilled individuals and provides high-definition plasma cutting, precision plate and sheet shearing, flame cutting, grinding, stress relieving, and saw cutting.
Opportunity
Liebovich experienced dramatic swings in electricity and natural gas costs due to weather and market volatility. Their energy supplier hadn’t contacted them in over 18 months, leaving Liebovich with questions about their energy options.
Solution
Our licensed broker helped execute a 36-month, multi-hedge fixed rate electricity, allowing Liebovich to take advantage of immediate savings and long-term budget certainty in an effort to reduce market volatility.
Natural gas, a major input in Liebovich’s operations, was also addressed. Navigate Power timed the gas market and secured a 16-month fixed-rate agreement, delivering both immediate savings and budget certainty.
