For many clients, Energy Edge serves as an in-house energy management team. This entails supporting clients on many day-to-day business needs that range from preparing energy reports for internal purposes to coordinating hardware installations and repairs with local utility companies. Energy Edge also offers a full suite of online invoice support including a best in class bill pay service.

- Transmission and Distribution rate validation
- Invoice dispute resolution
- A robust online data management platform that helps clients consolidate energy spend and usage data
Budgeting & Forecasting
Budgeting for an unpredictable cost such as energy can be an insurmountable challenge. Energy Edge provides client specific budgeting and forecasting information on an ongoing basis.
