With the right energy procurement partner, you can mitigate risk, achieve your sustainability goals and optimize energy spend.

As that partner, Stream demystifies energy procurement, bringing transparency to a process that is too often one-sided.

We help you be proactive – to mitigate the risk of price hikes and power disruption, achieve your sustainability goals and optimize energy spend. Whether you need a supportive partner for renewable energy options in particular markets, for example, or a consultative partner to help define your requirements and craft the best-fit strategy to match, Stream Data Centers can help. As with our data center real estate offerings, we bring to the table a well-crafted strategy based on several decades of experience with customers like you – then we modify it as necessary to specifically suit your needs.

Working with Stream’s energy services team is a truly collaborative process – participative, not prescriptive.

Stream’s energy services team mitigates risk, enables sustainability and optimizes spend for us, of course, and for our tenants – as well as for other industry leaders. This gives us perspective we wouldn’t have if the team only served internal requirements were purely in-house. Your needs, and your best-fit solutions, are not necessarily the same as your peers’. So we first seek to understand what your needs are. We listen. Then we offer our recommendations based on our deep experience.

With Stream, you have a steady hand when the market gets turbulent.

Energy markets can be incredibly volatile. Global trends and local events alike can cause significant risk for colocation tenants – as many of our competitors’ customers learned during Texas’s 2021 Winter Storm Uri. With over a decade of deep experience across regulated and deregulated energy markets, on both buy and sell sides, and experience in renewable energy, Stream has the steady hand you need to proactively mitigate risk.

With experts you can call on anytime, we put the service in energy services.

Whether you’re looking to meet sustainability goals with renewable energy or mitigate the risk of price hikes volatility with via a proactive procurement strategy, we help you define the best fit strategy approach and execute transactions accordingly. And, because energy markets and sustainability requirements are ever-changing, we expect to reengage often –, whether it’s to answer questions about market trends or provide assurance that your energy strategy still is aligns aligned with your business goals.

Mitigate Risk

Stream’s energy procurement philosophy is based on a market-driven approach, positioning you as an active participant in volatile energy markets, as opposed to a passive position anchored to specific transactions or organizational calendars. Our goal is to ensure that you get the best pricing, contracts and billing terms to achieve risk mitigation.

Our professional energy services complement your own procurement efforts by arming you with an unbiased data-driven view of market conditions, retail electricity providers and renewable energy opportunities. No one can control events like Winter Storm Uri, but with a smart energy procurement team on your side, you can mitigate their impact.

Achieve Sustainability Goals

The vast majority of our customers have sustainability objectives. For some, sustainability is narrowly defined by a certain target – offsetting a certain percentage of carbon emissions, for example. For others, sustainability is an integral part of the corporate mission. Some customers need only limited support to achieve their sustainability objectives while others need a consultative partner to define their requirements and craft the best-fit strategy to match (it’s not one-size-fits-all).

Whatever position you’re in, Stream can help you ensure your energy procurement tactics support your sustainability strategy. Our energy procurement solutions include turnkey options for sourcing electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar.

Optimize Energy Spend

No one, not even Stream, can prevent electricity price increases. But our customers rest easy knowing their energy spend is optimized – as low as possible given the circumstances that can’t be controlled. In fact, optimizing cost on the underlying commodity is often a more impactful way to reduce TCO than lowering PUE. (Optimizing PUE is important of course, but it’s not the only way or even the best way to lower costs.)

And when electricity prices do rise, we proactively and transparently educate our customers about why and how and available options to mitigate the impact.
