Citizens Energy tailors these services to meet our customer’s goals and requirements.  We manage all aspects of the energy efficiency development process from customer relations, project assessment, and environmental permitting, through engineering, financing, and execution.  Our comprehensive, yet flexible approach affords clients peace of mind as we manage the process from start to finish while keeping critical customer objectives and specifications at the core of every decision.  Citizens Energy Services is committed to providing the highest quality of service and achieving results that consistently exceed expectations.

 

The first step in any energy project is to measure existing energy consumption, fuel costs, and carbon emissions.  Citizens Energy Services is qualified to perform energy audits, greenhouse gas inventories, and life-cycle analyses to identify the primary opportunities to be addressed through the energy project.

 

Citizens Energy Services collaborates with customers to identify a set of short-term and long-term goals to be accomplished through energy initiatives.  Our professionals lend their expertise to help design a project that most effectively meets goals and maximizes value for the client.  We cover all options and thoroughly screen each alternative to ensure that the best possible plan is selected and implemented to meet customer objectives.

 

The services provided by Citizens Energy go well beyond those of most energy service companies.  Once a project plan and design is in place, we turn to our engineering and construction experts to implement the chosen energy improvements.  Citizens Energy Services has extensive experience in designing and installing Energy Management Systems, cogeneration units, solar panels, wind turbines, and more.  We can complete infrastructure improvements, upgrade heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC), or simply replace inefficient lighting.  Our engineers and construction experts work closely with the rest of the Citizens team to ensure that there are no inconsistencies between the designed project plan and the tangible results.  Citizens Energy Services projects are completed in a timely manner with the highest quality workmanship.

 

A significant benefit of choosing Citizens Energy Services is that we manage the entire project from start to finish.  We provide an experienced project manager who oversees every component of the energy project, eliminating inconsistencies, enabling communication, and providing transparency to our client.  The project manager helps to assemble a cross-functional team and coordinates communication across all parties.  Furthermore, the project manager is always available as a resource to the client.  Citizens Energy Services oversees daily project operations, sets benchmarks, tracks progress, and reports results back to the client.

 

In today’s market, energy costs can be extremely volatile and energy delivery can be unreliable. Citizens Energy Services can help manage an organization’s energy risk.  Through power purchase agreements, third party energy providers, and on-site renewable energy sources, we help customers reduce dependence on traditional sources.  These cleaner, greener energy sources have the potential to significantly reduce operating costs and hedge against future price volatility.  In addition, this strategy adds a degree of predictability to an organization’s cost structure as the prices for electricity, natural gas, and oil continue to fluctuate with the market.

 

Finding and then arranging the most appropriate financing structure for energy efficiency work or renewable energy systems can appear daunting.  Citizens Energy guides customers to the right solution for their business based on their specifications, including availability of investment capital, cash flow requirements, and the ability to take advantage of the most current incentives, rebates and tax benefits.  By combining the most appropriate financing scheme with the most advantageous sources of capital, Citizens Energy Services ensures that value is maximized and dollars are well spent. 

 

As an energy project approaches completion, Citizens Energy Services educates and trains all applicable employees on the new energy systems.  Our team works closely with building administrators and managers to ensure they are comfortable with the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of each component of the energy project.  Training is reinforced by detailed documentation.  It is the goal of Citizens Energy Services to make sure that O&M staff are properly equipped to effectively operate the new energy-efficient equipment and, in turn, realize all available savings.
