Energy services companies (ESCOs) comprise an industry started in the 1970's which has now grown to a volume of approximately $2 billion per year. As deregulation unravels utilities and other large firms who wish to position themselves as national suppliers offering "one-stop" energy shopping services to energy users. This book describes how ESCOs act as information services, enabling energy customers to make better use of their facilities and negotiate favorable energy purchases; billing services to help customers reduce administrative and energy costs; energy purchasing services for procuring fuel and electricity; power quality services; outsourcing services facilitating customers in reducing costs; and virtually any other service which relates to energy and solves customers' problems.
