Why it’s free
Most Indiana manufacturers never get this without hiring someone, and a plant that knows what its power costs makes better decisions with or without us. We fund it because a plant that can see its own numbers is the plant that calls us when it needs more.
An economic development corporation can sponsor this program for its county, under its own name. How that works.

Every month, this happens
01
We ask
Your utility bills you. We email and ask for a copy. You reply with the PDF. That is the whole of your involvement.
02
We audit
Every line read and run against 35 audit points and a rate calculator. Rate classification, riders, demand charges, taxes, and the errors that sit in bills for years.
03
You get a report
One page, in your inbox. What was checked, what tied out, and anything that did not.
04
And the steps
Every opportunity found is paired with the guide for capturing it. Not a library to go search. The one that applies.
It adds up month over month into one record you can put in front of a CFO.
One email a month. That is the whole ask.
