Energy Services of Pensacola (ESP) is offering this interruptible gas service rate Contract for the Main Jail, Central Booking & Detention, the M. C. Blanchard Building, and Escambia County Government Complex. The rate is based on the County’s volume of gas usage for these buildings and is also based on the County’s ability to utilize our own propane-air backup systems. ESP purchases long-term strips of gas at competitive pricing, in order to cover the basic needs of their customers, while the balance of their gas is purchased on the daily market and is subject to some price volatility. This Agreement allows the County, for a twelve-month period, to lock in at the fixed fuel charge, plus a small usage charge. Based on historical data of gas usage and costs from Fiscal Year 2011, the County could realize a reduction in natural gas costs of approximately $40,000, under the terms of this Contract in Fiscal Year 2012.
