Energy Advisory Services.
Energy costs are rising across the United States. Capacity charges, market volatility, and complex contract structures are making it harder for businesses to lock in pricing with confidence. Many organizations fall into renewal traps, accept the easiest supplier offer, or delay decisions because every quote looks high. Instead of a direct supplier sales pitch or a DIY procurement gamble, we operate as an independent broker and advisory partner, combining competitive sourcing with data-driven market strategy. We offer fewer surprises, smarter contract timing, and energy decisions that align with your budget, risk tolerance, and facility goals. Explore our services below to see how we help commercial and industrial customers reduce cost and take control.
How Commercial Energy Advisory Works.
Commercial energy advisory is designed to give businesses an independent, market-informed approach to purchasing electricity and natural gas. Instead of receiving one offer from one provider, you gain access to competitive pricing, contract options, and a professional strategy built around your facility’s usage and risk tolerance.
Independent market analysis vs. supplier-captive sales
Suppliers are incentivized to sell their own product, often at the time and structure that benefits them. An energy advisor evaluates the broader market, including wholesale price trends, capacity impacts, and supplier creditworthiness, to help you make decisions based on data, not pressure. The goal is to improve timing, avoid hidden risk, and match contract structure to how your business actually consumes energy.
Aggregation leverage
Advisors like Diversegy represent thousands of accounts and a large volume of energy spend. That aggregation creates leverage. Suppliers compete harder for our business, pricing improves, and customers gain access to products and terms that may not be available through a one-off, direct-to-supplier quote.
Transparent Fees
Diversegy is typically compensated through a supplier-paid commission, which is included in the supplier’s pricing rather than added as an after-the-fact client fee. That means customers can access advisory support and competitive sourcing without paying separate consulting markups.
Multi-year strategy
Many businesses end up paying more than necessary due to contract timing, late decision-making, or reactive decisions. A commercial advisory model creates a proactive procurement roadmap that includes monitoring future contract windows, evaluating market conditions, and planning renewals well in advance. The result is fewer surprises, lower risk, and a smarter long-term energy strategy.
Electricity Procurement & Supply Management.
In deregulated electricity markets, energy procurement means choosing the right combination of price structure, timing, and risk protection for your facility. Diversegy helps commercial and industrial customers evaluate and secure supply agreements across a full range of products. These price structures are designed to match your load profile and budget priorities. For businesses that want stability without giving up all flexibility, we also support block-and-index strategies, which lock in portions of your usage at fixed prices while leaving the rest exposed to market pricing. This approach can improve budget certainty, reduce exposure during volatile periods, and create a more controlled path to savings over time.
Natural Gas Advisory & Risk Management.
U.S. natural gas markets have become increasingly volatile as LNG exports link domestic pricing to global demand, while winter weather patterns trigger sharp, fast-moving price spikes. Because natural gas also fuels a significant share of U.S. power generation, these dynamics can spill into electricity pricing and broader energy budgets. Diversegy’s natural gas advisors help you make confident decisions on when to buy and how to structure your supply agreement to reduce risk and improve budget certainty. We evaluate market conditions, storage levels, seasonal trends, and regional basis exposure to recommend strategies such as fixed, indexed, and layered procurement that align with your risk tolerance.
Demand-Side & Efficiency Solutions.
Lowering energy spend means reducing demand and managing when you use power. Diversegy’s efficiency and demand-side solutions are designed to complement your energy procurement strategy by helping businesses control total energy cost and improve performance behind the meter. We support targeted upgrades and programs that deliver measurable impact, including high-value efficiency improvements (like LED and controls), renewable integration planning, and facility benchmarking to identify savings opportunities. We also help businesses enroll in demand response programs, which can generate revenue or incentives by reducing load during grid stress events. These programs can also offset rising capacity-related costs in markets like PJM. When paired with a smart procurement plan, these demand-side tools strengthen budget certainty, reduce peak exposure, and create a more resilient long-term energy strategy.
Pin Point Accuracy.
Did you know according to a recent study, over 80% of commercial, industrial, and governmental entities are overbilled regularly by utility companies? Utility bills are complex and calculated using complicated tariffs schedules. Many times, commercial businesses can qualify for less expensive rate schedules and simply are not aware of their options. Other times, businesses experience errors on their utility bills from meter reading inaccuracies, misclassifications, and other tax events. Our team of audit experts can help ensure that your bills are accurate and can even get you refunds for overbillings.
ESG & Sustainability Integration.
More businesses are being asked to prove progress on sustainability. Developing an effective energy strategy is often the fastest path to measurable impact. Diversegy helps organizations align procurement and onsite energy decisions with ESG goals by supporting several initiatives. Whether you’re pursuing a cleaner energy supply, offsetting demand, or building a longer-term decarbonization roadmap, the goal is to reduce risk, improve transparency, and meet stakeholder expectations.

Data-Driven Energy Procurement.
Energy procurement shouldn’t be based on guesswork or contract end dates. Sophisticated energy buyers are guided by data, timing, and risk discipline. Diversegy leverages real-time wholesale market intelligence, historical load analysis, and risk modeling to help businesses plan effective procurement strategies. Our procurement management process is shaped by market fundamentals across key regions such as PJM, NE-ISO, NYISO, and ERCOT, where capacity costs and volatility can materially impact supply pricing. By translating complex market movement into actionable strategy, we help customers balance budget stability with opportunity.
Comparing Energy Service Models.
| Energy Service Model | How It Works | Key Strengths | Common Limitations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Suppliers | You buy directly from a single provider offering its own products and contract structures. | Simple process, one relationship, quick quoting. | Limited to the supplier’s own offerings; pricing and recommendations may be sales-driven; fewer competitive comparisons. | Businesses that prioritize simplicity and are comfortable with one supplier’s options. |
| Energy Consultants | A third party provides analysis and strategy recommendations, often as a paid engagement. | High-level strategic guidance; can support audits and long-term planning. | Typically involves high upfront or recurring fees; may not execute supplier sourcing; client must still negotiate and manage contracts. | Organizations that want a strategy only and have internal teams to execute procurement. |
| Independent Brokers (Broker + Advisory Hybrid) | Supplier-neutral sourcing paired with market analysis, contract strategy, and execution; often compensated by suppliers (not added client fees). | Competitive sourcing across multiple suppliers; execution and strategy in one model; improved leverage through aggregation; contract timing and risk structuring support. | Requires selecting a broker/advisor you trust and ensuring transparency in supplier price sourcing and commission structure. | Businesses that want better pricing, less renewal risk, and an expert-led procurement process without consulting fees. |
