Working with Concierge Power & Capital (CPC)
We are the only 100% customer-focused energy support company; we are vendor- and technology-agnostic. We are not here to sell you anything; our goal is to help you get the most out of your energy spend. CPC is your outsourced energy management department. We call ourselves a Concierge Utility® because we work for you and sit on the same side of the table in meeting your energy needs.
Concierge Power & Capital operates in the United States and Canada. The greatest value of CPC’s services are obtained in the energy deregulated states and provinces. For the United States the most attractive areas are highlighted in blue and blue striped on the following map:
No, but we hear that a lot!
Concierge Power & Capital is responding to i) falling renewable generation costs, ii) tax credit (and other) incentives, and iii) grid service programs and price signals provided by the wholesale and retail energy markets.
Some very large organizations (think: Google) already do this themselves using large in-house energy management teams. We are a Concierge Utility® bringing these same services to you.
Concierge Power & Capital warrants the following:
1. Generator sized appropriate for customer’s loads.
2. Service and maintenance performed according to manufacturer’s specifications.
3. 24 x 7 monitoring of the equipment.
4. Automatic dispatch of service personnel if a repair is required.
5. Participation in all applicable grid programs approved by customer.
6. All new or zero-hour equipment.
7. Automated Transfer Switch to automatically start generator when there is an outage.
8. Compliance with all utility regulations and emission requirements.
9. Monthly activity reports.
10. Service and maintenance processes and records compliant with NFPA 110, 2014 ASHE, and JACO standards, when appropriate.
11. CPC will operate the generator for the benefit of the customer.
Concierge Power & Capital warrants that the savings estimates are based on industry best practices, our best understanding of the available grid programs, and the load information provided by the customer. CPC does not guarantee any specific dollar savings for loads under 50 MW. For loads above 50 MW, savings guarantees are contained in a separate negotiated contract.
Specific dollar savings cannot be guaranteed since the pricing of grid programs is determined by the public utility commission (PUC), federal regulations, and through open market auctions. While reasonable estimates and expectations are possible, exact values are unattainable.
The profit generated from participation in grid services, such as demand response, is inherently uncertain because it is based on the market price of energy at any specific time. Savings estimates provided are based on our best knowledge of market dynamics, historical data, and forward market curves.
Concierge Power & Capital offers contracts that meet our customers’ needs. Our agreements typically 10 years, but they can range from 5 to 20 years. They are fixed monthly payments with no surprises, so you know exactly how much your services will be.
Concierge Power & Capital provides a service contract that does not appear on your balance sheet. At the end to the term, ownership of the equipment is passed to you.
Concierge Power & Capital’s business model incentivizes you to be as energy efficient as possible.
Energy is our business; we have greater resources and capabilities to provide efficiency and resiliency solutions than if you attempted to secure them yourself. With Concierge Power & Capital as your Concierge Utility™ you can feel confident that we are doing everything economically possible to maximize the sustainability of your operations.
Concierge Power & Capital guarantees that only new equipment will be used, the equipment will be serviced and maintained according to the manufacturer’s requirements and specifications, and all parts will be from the manufacturer. Additionally, we are responsible for all grid communications, permit filings, reports, and meeting regulations.
