The Town of Peace River, (henceforth “the Client”) has retained Energy Associates Inc. as energy management consultant to assist in the evaluation of RFP responses and the supplier selection process. The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is for the purchase of firm, non-curtailable supply of natural gas to be delivered to facilities located in Atco Gas service territory.
