in verified client savings, 2023
Watt reads utility bills the way a diagnostician reads imaging — finding demand charge misalignments, thermal leaks, and rate structure errors that most finance teams never see. The savings are already in the bill. We find them.
The numbers that changed the conversation.
National electricity price increase since 2020
The EIA forecasts the national average at 18¢/kWh in 2026 — up from 13.1¢ in 2020. For a 200-dock cold-storage operation running 24/7, that differential is not a line item. It is a structural problem.

Manufacturers in Ohio, Illinois, and Pennsylvania — the PJM Interconnection footprint — face record-high capacity surcharges embedded in their supply rates. Most operators have no idea the charge exists. Fewer still know it is negotiable.

Utilities are funding grid hardening through rate cases. Every approved case becomes a permanent fixture in your cost structure unless you have rate structure expertise at the table during the comment period.

FERC data identifies industrial customers as the single largest source of untapped demand flexibility — roughly 14,864 MW nationally. The savings are systemic, not circumstantial.

Every engagement follows the same forensic sequence. The details change by facility type and utility territory. The rigor does not.
Diagnostic Scan
Week 1–2We pull 24 months of interval data from your utility, cross-reference it against your rate schedule, and build a consumption fingerprint. Demand charges, ratchet clauses, power factor penalties — every line item gets categorized and flagged.
Opportunity Quantification
Week 2–4Each identified inefficiency gets a dollar value attached. We model the savings against your actual operating constraints — not theoretical best-case. A cold-storage operator cannot simply shift load; we know that. The model respects your operational reality.
Implementation Oversight
Month 2–6We stay at the table through execution — utility negotiations, equipment procurement, tariff changes, and demand response enrollment. Savings don't materialize from a report. They materialize from follow-through. We provide both.
Before and after. Real rate schedules.
Client names redacted. All figures from verified utility invoices and savings reports.
