When a sponsor owns a dozen portcos across multiple states and sectors, each negotiating energy independently leaves real EBITDA on the table. We consolidate procurement across the portfolio — driving margin lift at every portco with no work at the fund level.
Sponsors buy for operational upside, but energy stays on the CFO's back burner at the portco level
Each portco negotiates on its own — different brokers, suppliers, terms, and expiration dates. No one looks across the portfolio for leverage.
Portcos get rolled onto above-market hold-over rates when contracts expire. By the time finance notices, 6–12 months of excess spend is gone.
Energy rarely shows up on a 100-day plan, yet a 20–30% reduction on a $2M annual spend is $400K–$600K of pure EBITDA — often a 1x+ turn of portfolio-wide multiple impact over the hold.
A single 30M kWh portco sits in one rate tier. Bundle six and you're a 180M kWh buyer — with supplier pricing, terms, and white-glove service reserved for national accounts.
We syndicate the full portfolio out to Engie, NRG, Constellation, Hudson, and regional suppliers — forcing competition on rate, term, swing tolerance, and bandwidth provisions at every renewal.
We stagger and align renewals so the fund captures market lows across the portfolio, rather than letting each portco lock on whatever day its contract expires.
Energy savings flow straight to EBITDA with zero operational disruption — no layoffs, no capex, no process redesign. Just better procurement.
Portfolio-wide energy benchmarks make diligence on add-ons and new platforms faster. We flag above-market spend inside of a week.
Scope 2 emissions tracking, renewable procurement, and portfolio-wide sustainability metrics — reported in the format your LPs already ask for.
The recurring patterns we see across private equity portfolios
Every portco handles energy differently — different brokers, suppliers, terms, and renewal dates. No leverage at the portfolio level.
Portcos get rolled onto above-market hold-over rates when contracts lapse. Finance only finds out after the bills climb.
Contracts signed 2–3 years ago at the wrong part of the cycle — still in place, still burning margin every month of the hold period.
Pass-through charges, mid-contract penalties, and demand-charge exposure slip past QoE reviews into your post-close model.
Operating partners can't see which portcos are paying what, when contracts expire, or where the next dollar of savings lives.
Scope 2 emissions, renewable procurement, and sustainability metrics are requested by LPs but rarely tracked consistently across the portfolio.
Purpose-built for the way PE funds actually operate — portfolio-wide, operating-partner-led, LP-reported
Aggregate load across portcos to unlock volume tiers, supplier concessions, and terms no single portco could command — even across different states, utilities, and industries.

Learn more →Built for the fund's operating model — not bolted on
One team handles every portco, every renewal, every state. Operating partners get portfolio visibility without coordinating across a dozen brokers.
Premium broker status with Engie, NRG, Constellation, Hudson, and regional suppliers — rates and terms unavailable to direct buyers or second-tier brokers.
New add-ons and platform acquisitions get absorbed into the portfolio program within 30 days — bills analyzed, renewals mapped, savings identified.
Boots on the ground across all 15 deregulated states — ERCOT, PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO, MISO — wherever your portcos operate.
We're compensated by suppliers as part of the contract — so the fund and portcos capture 100% of the savings. Nothing hits the management fee.
NDAs in place within 24 hours for diligence work. Portco-level data stays siloed; only the operating partner sees the portfolio-wide view.
From first call to portfolio-wide savings in under 60 days
We walk the portfolio with the operating partner — number of portcos, geographies, industries, and rough annual spend. No portco data needed to start.
One NDA covers the fund and all current & future portcos. We can sign your paper or ours — typically in place within 24 hours.
We collect 12 months of utility invoices and active supply contracts from each portco — most funds gather this from portco CFOs in under two weeks.
Line-by-line analysis of rates, contract terms, pass-through charges, and demand charges. Delivered as a portfolio-wide report with per-portco savings estimates.
We syndicate the portfolio to premium suppliers, run competitive bids, and negotiate volume-tier pricing, favorable swing tolerance, and aligned renewal dates.
Each portco signs its own contract with the winning supplier under portfolio-wide terms. We handle paperwork, letters of authorization, and utility switchover.
Operating partners get a live dashboard of spend, savings, expirations, and Scope 2 metrics across every portco. Quarterly reviews with the deal team.
New platform and add-on acquisitions get absorbed within 30 days of close. Diligence support on every new deal is included.
Measurable margin lift across sponsor-owned portfolios since 2017
Portfolios rarely stay in one vertical — we cover every sector your thesis touches
Heavy manufacturing, automotive, steel, chemicals, plastics — the highest-load portcos, where a 1¢/kWh shift is a material EBITDA event.
Manufacturing Solutions →Apartment portfolios, senior living, student housing, and commercial real estate rollups — where energy directly drives NOI and valuation.
Multifamily Solutions →Hotel platforms, QSR chains, restaurant groups, and fitness concepts — multi-location portcos where bundled procurement moves the needle fastest.
Hospitality Solutions →Physician groups, surgery centers, and healthcare services rollups — with sensitive uptime requirements and complex utility structures.
Healthcare Solutions →Colocation, hyperscale, and enterprise data center platforms — where energy is the single largest operating cost and rate structure is existential.
Data Center Solutions →Distribution centers, fulfillment, cold storage, and 3PL rollups — with growing demand profiles as automation and cold chain expand.
Logistics Solutions →Send us a list of portcos and rough annual spend. We'll return a portfolio-wide savings estimate — no portco-level data required to start, NDA in place within 24 hours.
