Comprehensive Advisory services
Expert energy advisory, tailored to your needs
Not every energy challenge neatly fits into any one of PowerOptions’ dozens of products or programs. Sometimes your organization needs clean energy expertise to navigate the incentive landscape, analyze a clean energy opportunity or provide advice on a complex energy sourcing decision. That’s what PowerOptions strategic advisory services are here for.
PowerOptions strategic advisory services
Energy360 is PowerOptions' advisory and consulting practice — a flexible, fee-for-service offering that puts the full breadth of our team's expertise in energy technologies, markets, policies, and incentives to work on whatever your organization is facing. Every engagement is scoped to your specific needs, whether it's a one-time analysis or an ongoing advisory relationship.
How we can help
From reducing costs to advancing sustainability and resilience, we help Members tackle their biggest enregy priorities. Explore the ways we support organizations across every stage of their energy journey.
Grant Support
Navigating the landscape of federal, state, and utility incentive programs can be overwhelming. We help members identify relevant funding opportunities and support the application process to maximize the resources available to your organization.
Net Metering Analysis
For members with solar or other distributed generation, we provide credit tracking, allocation analysis, and strategic guidance to ensure you're getting the full value of your net metering arrangements.
Research and analysis
When you're facing a consequential energy decision — a technology investment, a contract negotiation, a policy change — we provide the research and analysis you need to make an informed call. Past engagements have included cost and emissions modeling for LED streetlight conversions, sizing recommendations for virtual power purchase agreements, and impact analyses of rate and tariff changes.
Sustainability Strategy
Whether you're developing a Climate Action Plan, setting emissions reduction targets, or figuring out where to start on your sustainability journey, we provide strategic guidance that connects high-level goals to actionable next steps.
Municipal Energy Management
For municipalities looking for hands-on energy management support, we offer ongoing consulting to help optimize operations, manage costs, and advance sustainability goals across municipal facilities and infrastructure.
And more
If it touches energy, cost, usage, emissions, policy, technology, procurement, or strategy — there's a good chance our team can help. We've seen a lot across our decades of serving non-profits and public entities, and we bring that experience to every engagement.
