The Company
We founded Powerconsumer to automate energy management for business customers, based on our insight that low cost and no-regret strategies to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions are available throughout the economy. Most people do not know where to look.
We bring economics, engineering, data science, and computer modeling, to solve complicated problems in energy management, for individual customers, for portfolios of buildings and facilities, for cities and towns, and for public utilities.
We are experts in energy and environmental system analysis. We understand the complex regulatory world in which our customers operate. We deliver compliant solutions. We take risk out of the equation.
We provide software as a service, with in-market products, existing customers, and a track record of success.
We work with utilities and their customers to build more sustainable energy systems.
