OUR
APPROACH

YOUR DIRECT PATH TO BETTER ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Transparency, efficiency, and performance tracking all improve when you have direct access to the markets. When your energy partner can fill the role of supplier AND consultant you benefit immediately. We provide a competitive bidding process in the wholesale electricity markets with no broker markup, no added complexity, just transparent pricing and expert execution.

The Broker Model is Broken:
More Layers, More Costs

No one should sit between you and the market, adding fees while limiting your options and belaboring execution.

Our Direct Approach:
One Partner, Complete Solutions

Our team gives you direct market access and comprehensive energy management, including carbon-differentiated energy integration, financial risk management, regulatory compliance and advocacy, and advanced data analytics, all under one roof.

You receive wholesale market access with competitive pricing, strategic guidance from energy market specialists, and a partner invested in your long-term success. No broker commissions. No conflicting interests. No coordination headaches across multiple vendors.

SENSIBLE SUSTAINABILITY™

Energy management isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our Sensible Sustainability™ approach empowers you with data-driven business insights that go beyond simple commodity cost considerations. If you’re managing energy cost and risk goals in silos, you’re leaving opportunities on the table.

One strategic approach, Customized to Your Business

We conduct a thorough analysis of your entire energy profile: facilities managed, usage patterns, risk exposure, and your specific goals (avoided costs, environmental impact, or both).

Our framework evaluates
five key criteria:

Governance

How energy decisions get made in your organization

Cost

Budget considerations and financial objectives

Risk

Potential challenges and prevention strategies

Carbon

Environmental impact and sustainability goals

Reporting

Clear tracking and measurement of progress

When should you lock in rates? How much of your load should you manage? What should you buy? Our framework answers these based on your specific profile and adapts seamlessly when carbon goals enter the picture. The methodology is consistent; the strategy is yours.

DATA
MANAGEMENT

Are you missing opportunities to optimize electricity costs across your locations? The electricity market is complex, making it difficult to determine the best strategies for single or multiple sites. Partnering with us gives you a straightforward path: our expert analytics and commitment to data integrity provide the insights you need to optimize energy usage and costs across your entire portfolio.

By working with us, you receive transparency you can trust. Our ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System demands continuous improvement of critical business processes. In fact, we have achieved a 99.8% billing accuracy rate, which means you won’t waste time on incorrect invoices. Our processes center on transparency and efficiency, so you can rest easy knowing your energy data is strategically planned and accurately presented.

The Challenge:

The energy market’s volatility has always meant prices can fluctuate rapidly, rising one day, falling the next. Non-energy cost components (e.g. ISO fees and demand-based charges) continue to make up more of overall spend. With increasing electricity demand in today’s digital era, making informed decisions for your energy portfolio is more critical than ever. Our Capacity Obligation Reduction Effort (CORE) team supports clients across industries, including a major construction materials company seeking to reduce total capacity charges.

Our Approach:

We introduced the client to the Capacity Obligation Reduction Effort (CORE) Program, enabling them to gain deeper insight into their capacity charges and drivers and leverage both supply and demand solutions to mitigate risk and reduce spend. We detailed the financial impact of their voluntary demand reductions to support internal adoption ahead of critical system peak hours.

The Results:

Beyond providing the client advance notice of when to curtail their load during projected peak days, we provided real-time alert emails and access to our customer portal. There, the client can monitor a live dashboard with load forecasts for all ISOs in which they participate. Once the PLC season wrapped, we produced a sCORE card, essentially a report card forecasting the avoided cost.

ENERGY RISK MANAGEMENT

Market volatility exposes companies to significant risk. Our mission is to help you minimize negative impacts and address the challenges that keep you up at night.

With our proven approach, we identify, assess, and provide actionable guidance to mitigate energy sector risks—such as price volatility, regulatory shifts, and supply disruptions.

CARBON MANAGEMENT

Integrating carbon goals in your energy portfolio should not mean abandoning risk discipline. For over 20 years, we’ve been one of the largest buyers of renewable energy and environmental attributes in the United States, and we approach carbon procurement with the same methods applied to purchase traditional energy.

Many companies pursue Scope 2 emission reductions by treating renewable energy as separate from their energy strategy. The result? They break from proven risk management practices and potentially overpay. We integrate carbon management into your overall energy portfolio, evaluating RECs, PPAs, and VPPAs alongside your cost and risk objectives. Renewable energy is energy; it has a cost, carries risk, and delivers environmental value. We help you balance all three.

The Challenge:

As part of their corporate sustainability commitment, a pharmaceutical company set ambitious targets to reduce Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions at several U.S. facilities. Ready to accelerate their progress, they sought a strategic approach to procure carbon-free energy for several U.S. facilities.

Our Approach:

Using our Sensible Sustainability framework, we analyzed their entire energy portfolio. Rather than treating renewables as a separate initiative, we helped them identify a Power Purchase Agreement that would allow them to purchase renewable energy certificates.

The Results:

Now, the company is positioned to receive carbon-free energy for their facilities over the next 15 years while maintaining a disciplined approach to energy cost and risk management.
