Bridge the gap with your electricity

Intuitive, easy, and resourceful. What more could you want from an online account management platform? Our digital tool brings a wealth of knowledge to your fingertips. From information on your bill to energy consumption and market forecasts and updates, online account management connects you with your electricity. It provides you with resources that empower you to become an engaged, hands-on electricity user, so you can discover new energy saving solutions while managing your portfolio efficiently and effectively. These five benefits outline how the online account management tool can help drive your business toward the ideal energy usage strategy.

Whether your business has one site or hundreds, online account management lets you monitor all of your electricity consumption in one centralized location, where you can compare usage between sites, track progress across your organization, and uncover new areas for savings. This is ideal for customers that have numerous locations with varying degrees of power usage, like municipalities, food and beverage services, and manufacturing facilities.

Managing a business takes enough effort; online account management makes the process of paying your electricity bills easier and more straightforward. In today’s ultra-digitized world, online bill paying has become a helpful tool for businesses small and large alike. Not only does our tool make energy monitoring possible, but it organizes accounting information in an engaging format that lets you review old bills, forecast future bills, and have an in-depth look at your current bill so you can understand your plan and usage patterns. In turn, this helps your accounting department manage costs and create a more accurate electricity budget.

Our dashboard has customizable widgets that let you adjust the homepage exactly how you see fit. If you are reaching the end of the quarter and want to look at your business’ billing summary, bring that to the front of your dashboard so you can monitor it closely. If you recently adjusted your electricity plan and want to see how it is affecting your budget, prioritize your recent invoices so you can track your electricity budget moving forward. By customizing the dashboard to address your interests and priorities, you’ll receive tailored, real-time usage that can bring you closer to reaching your goals.

Even before COVID-19, the world was already headed in a digitized direction. Now, with more businesses moving toward a remote working model, staying informed and engaged wherever possible is more important than ever. Have a budgetary question that relates to power consumption? Simply log onto the online account management tool and find out exactly what your electricity usage is for any parameters. Need to add a site or meter to your account? It’s simple and easy via the portal. Becoming a hands-on electricity user means you’ll gain a valuable and informed perspective. Account information, contract specifics, and billing are all just one click away, waiting to be tapped into. Pan out, and you’ll benefit from a more holistic point of view with electricity trends and information specific to each of your site locations.

Real-time market analytics will help you access fundamental market information. These metrics will help you become more knowledgeable about how the electricity landscape works, how your plan fits into it, and how you can adjust your electricity usage to save money and capitalize on market opportunities. The more you familiarize yourself with market trends, the more comfortable you may become at changing from a low-risk plan, such as Fixed Price, to a plan that interacts more with the market, like a Percent Fixed & Index or Block & Index plan.

This is the magic of the online account management tool. It empowers you to engage with your electricity usage — and the market — however much you’d like. If you simply need a quick and easy means to pay your bill online, the tool  streamlines that process for you. If you have been a long-time low-risk plan customer and would like to interact with the market for cost savings and other budgetary reasons, the online platform provides you with the resources necessary to make that happen as well. 

Recently, we partnered with the city of Houston to help them lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy usage by 30 percent, among other goals. Because of their many offices with varying degrees of energy usage, our online account management tool benefitted them greatly. They expressed their satisfaction, saying:

“The tool is exciting. We are so thankful for the development of a tool that will help us with our goals and reporting to the Energy Star Portfolio Challenge.” — The City of Houston

At the end of the day, online account management bridges the gap between you and your electricity, bringing you closer to each kilowatt spent and every dollar you could save down the road.
