Avoiding Higher Costs When Inflation Rates are Up

Inflation is here. You can see it when you fill up your tank or buy lumber to build your dream home, but does that mean your energy rates will climb as well?

Transitioning into cost-avoidance

As a utility consulting firm that historically has provided cost-savings, our new reality in this state of inflation seems to be cost-avoidance. Energy prices overall are up 25% year over year, and gasoline is up 49.6% according to Jessica Dickler of CNBC.

Not only are inflation rates increasing, but also accelerating at a pace we haven’t seen in over 12 years. Prices are jumping across the board as April reports show that consumer prices leapt 4.2% in the fastest uptick witnessed since 2008. Lumber stands as the big price hike winner due to the housing shortage, with prices having increased a staggering 124% in 2021.

Inflation is here to stay

The rise in inflation does not appear to be transient, as it is showing a steady acceleration. Transient or not, it is more than likely higher prices will stick and it is important to determine how to manage these higher prices.

How can your business avoid much higher energy costs when inflation continues to rapidly increase?
