Energy Procurement Resources

How do you procure your energy? In Texas, many ASHE members are evaluating how hospitals and health systems are managing their energy procurement practices and evaluating potential opportunities for improvement after the recent cold weather put a strain on power distribution. No matter what is driving these evaluations, ASHE has developed resources, tips and best practices when evaluating different energy procurement strategies.
