BOULDER, Colo., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- EnergyWindow, Inc.(http://www.energywindow.com), a supplier of information technology-basedtools and strategic consulting services to handle the procurement andmanagement of energy supply used by businesses, today introduced its newPowerProjector(TM) cost projection and value-at-risk analysis tool designed tohelp financial executives more accurately project their regulated andderegulated energy supply costs (natural gas and electricity needed to powertheir businesses).

The PowerProjector application is available immediately. The cost of thisapplication ranges from $5,000-$25,000 for the initial license, depending onthe size of the analysis needed, and between $2,000-$8,000 for annualmaintenance.

'One of the main reasons we developed this new energy cost andvalue-at-risk analysis tool is because so many financial executives haveexpressed frustration with their inability to accurately budget for futureenergy costs,' explained Dr. Jack Mason, president and founder ofEnergyWindow, Inc. 'This inability to produce accurate, defensible energycost projections can wreak havoc on a company's budget and can literally meanthe difference between profitability and a loss. Every business wrestles withthis problem, but it's particularly acute for industries operating on tightmargins,' he said.

The PowerProjector tool enables financial executives to produce detailed,market-by-market analyses, and simulate (using the Monte Carlo method) futuretotal energy costs and value-at-risk at various levels of confidence,according to Dr. Mason.

The flexible, user-friendly interface enables PowerProjector applicationusers to build customized models from EnergyWindow's built-in energy pricingdatabases, as well as to extract additional selected data from their ownbusiness intelligence, and set their own assumptions, scenarios, andconfidence levels. The tool then processes hundreds or thousands of 'runs' toarrive at a set of statistically sound financial projections based onwell-informed, detailed judgments and a rigorous accepted projectionmethodology.

'For any executive, financial or otherwise, who is in charge ofdetermining energy costs for the following year or period of years, thePowerProjector tool will be invaluable,' said Dr. Mason.
