Energizing Healthcare: A Market Checkup Did you Know? According to the Department of Energy, U.S. hospitals spend over $5 billion annually on energy, often equaling 1% to 3% of a typical hospital’s operating budget or an estimated 15% of profits. Energy is simply too great a cost for healthcare facilities to leave to the fluctuations of the market. And while facilities in deregulated markets can take control of this major budgetary spend by ‘shopping’ their load to multiple suppliers to secure the lowest available price, who has the time and resources available to compare different quotes to determine the best offer? Enter World Energy. With our streamlined World Energy Exchange, you can be confident that you're getting the best available price as energy suppliers compete for your business.
