Our Testimonials

Whats Our Clients Say

I met Erika in the spring of 2021 as she was recommended by a business colleague of mine. She came over to visit our sites. Based on discussions with Erika we decided to hedge our natural gas and move away from buying directly through Fortis. This also allowed us to change rate classes from Rate 7 to Rate 22 and save on transportation. Subsequently the Fortis rates have increased, and we are saving significant costs. She took care of everything and fixed our price in May-21 to start in Nov-21. Erika knows the business well and she provided invaluable assistance on the matter of contracting and procuring natural gas for our company.

Erika has been providing Sunnyside Products with a high-level of service in all matters regarding our natural gas purchases for a number of years. She fully understands our energy needs managing 84 acres of glass greenhouse and with that she has provided us with invaluable advice to acquire the most competitive rates in the province. At times with Fortis, at times with a supplier. Erika takes care of everything such as credit, service agreements, reporting, invoices, and she ensures we understand the process and get the very best there is to get in this market. Her advantage lies in her knowledge and agility to get things done. Working with her allows us to focus on our core business knowing full well our operational costs will be controlled and managed.

Sunnyside Produce Ltd

Client

I have known Erika as a professional since 2009 when she conducted a thorough review on SCI energy costs and advised us on what to do to each facility depending on its size/consumption. I really enjoyed working with Erika, she always impresses me with her logical process and recommendations. She provided us with excellent strategies for costs optimization by keeping my smaller sites with the utility and doing a partial hedge for my portfolio in BC & AB. Her insights on utility costs & economy also assisted us in budgeting effectively. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Erika’s services to any organization who wants to take control of their energy costs effectively.

Service Corporation International

Client

We have been dealing with Erika since Nov-2013. We developed some better ways of billing to average monthly purchases. She is very knowledgeable and she brought innovative ideas to optimize savings and created real value for our business. Her understanding of the market to determine when to buy has been invaluable. The last recommendation she gave us was in 2020 for a strip of gas from 2023 all the way to 2025 which she got us a price of less than $2.00 per GJ. In 2021 this same strip would have cost us $5.75 per GJ. This price difference resulted in significant savings for our company. She truly understands the market bottom line and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
