Why Diversified Energy Specialists (DES)?
For energy retailers participating in the Massachusetts Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (APS) program, the market for Alternative Energy Certificates (AECs) is increasingly competitive, volatile and difficult to navigate. Having the best aggregator working on your behalf is vital.
Every day, we speak to heating oil distributors with questions about the APS market, such as:
- Am I getting the best price for my Alternative Energy Certificates?
- How much biofuel should my company sell, and at what blend level, to maximize returns?
- Am I leaving money on the table?
Since 2018, Diversified Energy Specialists has assisted companies in delivering cleaner products and maximizing profits in over-the-counter environmental markets. Our strategic approach and industry insights yield unparalleled value for our clients.
This is the DES difference.
We deliver the highest value in the market for our clients
DES consistently delivers greater value than the competition in the APS market. In 2022, DES clients received a return per Alternative Energy Certificate (AEC) that was approximately two times higher than other aggregators secured. We’re always available to discuss the state of the market and how your business can thrive in it.
We’re in this for the long haul
DES cares about your company’s success and is committed to the long-term success of the industry. We have deep roots in the heating oil sphere. That gives us unique insights that work to your advantage!
We are entirely focused on the APS
Our entire business is built to support generators within the APS program. DES is not distracted by other priorities or conflicted by representing different interests in the market. It’s not just “something we do.” It’s what we do.
We promise zero risk!
DES’s trading strategy offers greater intelligence about future credit values. You will know your break-even point up front — before you buy a drop of biofuel.
