To maintain operations efficiently while managing budgets effectively, hospitals and healthcare providers are turning to reliable suppliers & consultants to manage their facilities in an ever-evolving energy landscape.

In this blog post, we will explore how healthcare facilities can benefit from partnering with Shipley Energy to optimize energy costs and streamline energy procurement.
Contact Us About Energy Procurement ->
Healthcare institutions, such as hospitals, medical centers, and nursing homes, typically operate 24/7 with high energy consumption needs. From the electrical demands of equipment like MRI machines and ventilators to the heating and cooling needs of patient rooms and waiting areas, energy costs are one of the largest overhead expenses for healthcare providers.
In addition to managing costs, healthcare organizations face the challenge of securing a reliable energy supply. Energy interruptions in healthcare facilities are unacceptable, as they can compromise patient care and safety. This is why securing an efficient and cost-effective energy procurement strategy is not just a financial decision—it’s a matter of ensuring operational continuity and patient well-being.
With over 95 years of experience in the energy sector, Shipley Energy has become a trusted partner for businesses across various industries, including healthcare. By offering a comprehensive range of energy procurement services, our team ensures that healthcare providers have access to the right energy solutions at the best possible rates. Here are some of the ways healthcare providers can benefit from by partnering with Shipley Energy:
Every healthcare facility has unique energy needs. Shipley Energy works with healthcare providers to understand their specific energy consumption patterns, peak demand periods, fiscal obligations, procurement preferences, and budget constraints. By analyzing these factors, they can create customized procurement strategies that best meet the needs of the facility. Whether it’s securing electricity or natural gas at competitive rates or locking in fixed-rate contracts, Shipley Energy provides flexibility to suit each healthcare provider’s goals.
Energy prices fluctuate, which can make it difficult for healthcare providers to forecast their energy expenses. Shipley Energy helps organizations mitigate these price fluctuations by offering a multitude of contracting options, which provide budget stability, predictability, and offer solutions that aren’t just one size fits all. Contracting allows healthcare facilities to lock in energy prices for a set period, ensuring that they don’t face unexpected spikes in their energy bills.
In addition to fixed-price contracts, Shipley Energy offers a range of innovative strategies for energy hedging such as a capacity & NITS pass-through, Energy only, and Block & Index options for electricity, and NYMEX locks, Basis Locks, and our newest offering – a discounted NYMEX lock for natural gas. These options are just some of the many ways we can protect your facility against sudden price increases. These approaches can be especially beneficial for large healthcare systems with multiple facilities that are needed to manage significant energy consumption. We will explore these offerings in our upcoming blog posts.
Navigating the complexities of energy procurement can be daunting. Shipley Energy offers expert guidance at every step of the process.
