Portfolio Prioritization Plan
For Members managing multiple facilities. Funded through Mass Save at no cost to eligible building owners in Eversource or National Grid territory. We identify which buildings and measures will deliver the greatest impact.
Implementing Building Decarbonization Measures
Through a competitive procurement process, PowerOptions has vetted and selected experienced decarbonization vendors — and negotiated turnkey contract terms on your behalf. Public entities are able to satisfy procurement law by participating in our RFP instead of conducting their own.
Both our as a service and owner financed pathways share the same: vetted vendors, open-book pricing with profit caps, and PowerOptions' hands-on guidance. You can explore both simultaneously before committing — and mixed ownership models are fully supported.
Decarbonize you organization's portfolio
With our as-a-service model, your vendor secures financing and energy savings to help fund implementation, operations, and maintenance, as well as performance verification over a 10-20 year term. Our goal is to give you a cash flow-neutral or positive solution. This is best for large portfolios, complex projects, and capital-constrained organizations ($500K+ scope, 10,000+ sq ft).
