Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas

Metro Energy Solutions was retained by the Atlantis to represent the Atlantis in a rate tariff negotiation with the Bahamas Electric Corporation ("BEC"). Metro Energy services provided included:

Evaluate the Atlantis energy profile (current and projected).

Evaluate the current BEC tariff and analyze the utility model for development of the tariff(s).

Prepare a benchmarking evaluation that will research and compare electric utility rates currently paid by resorts of similar size elsewhere in the Caribbean and the U.S.

Develop a "priority plan" of goals that Atlantis would like to achieve, including reliability, power quality, and cost of power.

Develop a specific agenda including economical alternatives to utility power, such as demand side management and onsite generation for peak and base loads.

Begin a working forum with the utility to present proposed "off tariff agreements", incentives, rebates etc. that meet the intended goals.

Continue process as new legislative or energy pricing changes occur.
