Power bills run to pages of rates, riders and penalties. Mistakes are common, power factor charges hide in plain sight, and almost no plant manager has time to prove any of it. That's not your fault, but it is your money.
It started with one month of bills.
We found overcharges on bills they had already paid and got the money back. Then we found the power factor problem inflating every bill. Fixing it is projected to cut their bills every month.
Meter A used less energy and paid more than three times as much per kWh. Customer details removed; billed demand also reflects the utility's own demand rules.
Quote from the customer behind this case study goes here.
Start with one. Most clients end up with all three.
Utility bills are full of errors almost no one has time to catch. We find the overcharges you've already paid and get your money back.
Contingency · you pay nothing unless we recover money
Demand charges and power factor penalties land on every bill. We bring them down for good, and your equipment lasts longer too.
Typical payback · 10 to 18 months
We help you commit your flexibility at peak to the grid's demand response programs, so the grid pays you for easing off when it's short.
Paid from the same capacity price that raised your bill
For a hundred years, power flowed one way. That's over.
Demand is surging and old plants are retiring faster than new ones are built. The grid can't keep up by building alone, so it now pays the buildings and businesses that can ease off when it counts.
Power in, money out. The only lever was using less.
Power in, payments back. Flexibility at peak is now something you can sell.
“Most plant managers I meet know their power bills are too high. They just don’t have time to prove it. That’s where we come in. We read the bills, find the money in the past, the present and the future, and put it in writing. I built 17 Ways to find money companies don’t know they have.”

In 2015, every country in the UN signed on to 17 goals for a better-run world. We believe business, not charity, is how most of them will get done, and we’ve set out to find a business solution for each one.
We started with energy because the payoff is the easiest to see: lower bills, less waste, and new revenue from the grid. That work already moves four goals at once: affordable energy (7), economic growth (8), climate action (13), and, as a WBENC-certified women-owned business, gender equality (5).
Thirteen to go.
