Managing operational costs is critical for businesses of all sizes, from small enterprises to large commercial operations. Energy expenses often account for a significant portion of those costs, and making smart energy decisions can free up funds for other priorities, whether it’s new equipment, staffing, or expanding your services.

At Amerigy Energy, we specialize in helping businesses of all sizes—from small shops to large commercial operations—find the right energy plan to maximize savings. Here’s how one Central Texas company was able to cut its energy costs by 20% after switching to Amerigy.

The Challenge: Rising Energy Costs

“Lone Star Printing,” a mid-sized print shop based in Central Texas, had been experiencing rising energy bills for the past two years. With 50 employees and a large amount of energy-intensive equipment, the business’s monthly electricity bill was steadily increasing, cutting into its profitability.

“We were in a long-term contract with our previous provider, and the costs kept creeping up every month,” said Mark Robinson, the owner of Lone Star Printing. “We didn’t realize how much we could save by exploring other options.”

Like many businesses, Lone Star Printing was out of contract on a variable plan, where market fluctuations led to unpredictable energy bills—especially during periods of peak demand.

The Solution: Switching to Amerigy Energy

After a neighboring business recommended Amerigy Energy, Mark decided to reach out for a free consultation. Our team worked closely with him to analyze the company’s energy usage and identify opportunities for savings. Based on our analysis, we suggested switching to a fixed-rate longer term energy plan, which would stabilize their rates and lower their overall energy costs.

“Amerigy showed us the breakdown of our usage and explained how a fixed-rate plan would help us save in the long run,” Mark said. “The process was seamless, and we saw the savings almost immediately.”

The Results: 20% Energy Savings

Within the first month of switching to Amerigy, Lone Star Printing saw a noticeable reduction in their energy costs. Over the year, the company saved approximately 20% on its monthly electricity bill.

Before switching, their average monthly energy bill was $5,000. After switching to a fixed-rate plan, their monthly energy costs dropped to $4,000—a savings of $1,000 per month. Over the course of a year, this totaled $12,000 in savings.

For Lone Star Printing, these savings allowed them to reinvest in new printing technology and expand their marketing efforts, driving further growth for the business.
