NYPA’s Customer Energy Solutions The Challenge The Opportunity The Vision The Approach Key Next Steps
The Challenge • General • Customers are seeking cost savings • Capital projects are their top priority • However, they’re interested in a wide range of services • Customers desire ease of use, responsiveness, and technical capability • Specific to NYPA • Customers are confused about NYPA’s offerings • Customers view NYPA’s processes as lengthy and bureaucratic • Customers perceive NYPA’s pricing of capital projects as more expensive than average “Setting up a new vendor is a complicated process, so if we could buy multiple services from NYPA that would make things easier. We’ve been pleased with NYPA services thus far, so we would expect these other services to be at that high level as well.” Source: Market Intelligence Report conducted for NYPA, July and August, 2014
The Opportunity • Customers view NYPA as trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable • NYPA’s capital project implementation abilities match the needs of customers • NYPA’s ability to provide easy access to multiple vendors matches customers’ desire for a wide range of services • Customers are open to partnering with NYPA on new energy projects • NYPA can address customers’ concerns by realigning its service functions and processes, and marketing its offerings more clearly “This ‘economic potential’ is valued at $100.9 billion in net benefits (in 2012 dollars). The ‘achievable potential’ (in New York State), a subset of the economic potential, is valued at $30 billion in net benefits (in 2012 dollars). ‘Achievable potential’ represents the cost effective energy efficiency potential given current market barriers related to technologies, spending, energy efficiency goals, and policies.” Source: Market Intelligence Report conducted for NYPA, July and August, 2014
The Vision • Customer Energy Solutions – Start up! • Goals • Build the “demand” side of NYPA’s business to be on par with the “supply” side of NYPA’s business • Become and remain our customers’ trusted energy advisor • Serve as a marketplace for accessing energy services • Internally coordinate and externally present “one NYPA” with fully integrated service offerings • Proactively address the energy needs of our customers • Recover costs on a net CES basis • Core Ideology NYPA will deliver results, value, and satisfaction for customers
