Learn more about participating in a reverse auction for energy procurement, which will save money, lock in more stable pricing and reduce your carbon footprint through greener, cleaner energy. Audio and slides from this teleconference are now available online.

Hear about how one Premier healthcare system saved $1.6 million on their energy procurement over the term of the contract by participating in Premier's reverse auction.

The Web-based electronic energy auction is part of Premier's energy initiative, Securing Proven Healthcare Energy Reduction (for the) Ecosystem, or SPHERE, designed to help hospitals reduce their energy cost, usage and carbon footprint.

The reverse auction is being offered by Premier in partnership with Practice Greenhealth and its Healthcare Clean Energy Exchange as the industry's first, large-scale, healthcare reverse auction for the procurement of energy (electricity and natural gas) and environmental commodities (e.g., renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets), to increase the percentage of green/renewable energy purchases.

Please visit our Safety Institute Web site for more information about SPHERE and a list of Premier contracted suppliers with energy solutions. Watch for additional resources to be posted as we continue to build the site.
