History

Burton Energy Group was founded in 2001 to provide comprehensive energy management services. The formation of the company paralled the growth of energy deregulation, allowing commercial facilities in many states to shop for an energy supplier with prices more competitive than their local utility. During this period natural gas and electricity were escalating to historically high prices and the energy market was increasingly volatile. Energy purchasing and risk management services were utilized to neutralize this uncertainty.

To augment purchasing and provide a full portfolio of energy management solutions, Burton introduced energy and water conservation programs to further reduce energy usage and costs. Clients now had critical supply and demand side programs designed to impact their bottom line.

Today Burton is a leader in energy management services, providing cost reduction and risk management solutions for the commercial market throughout North America.

Our Markets

The commercial sector is the preferred market of Burton for numerous reasons. Excluding labor, energy is typically the highest cost that facilities incur. Historically commercial operations have treated utilities as a fixed cost, but there are numerous supply and demand side programs that, when deployed collectively, can significantly decrease energy expenditures.

Commercial businesses, whether they are hotels and resorts, healthcare and assisted living facilities, multi-family buildings or retail operations, present a variety of energy management challenges, and opportunities. More efficient process management and intelligent implementation equipment and systems can be used to lower energy usage throughout a facility.
