Not long ago, the relationship between utilities and energy customers was a simple seller and buyer dynamic.  Utilites were producers and customers were users.

Today, new technologies, increasing energy costs and heightened environmental concerns have complicated the relationship.   C&I energy customers increasingly employ on-site generation resources, energy technology platforms and demand management protocols that effectively create a new energy grid behind the meter.

C&I energy customers are now users AND producers, as well as buyers AND sellers.  In short, they are no longer just connected to the energy grid: They are a part of it. This new reality has profound implications for utilities.

Tangent works with utilities in regulated and unregulated markets to ensure that the grid behind the meter is optimized in a way that accrues economic and operational benefits to all stakeholders.

While utilities are working to make a smarter grid to benefit customers, we are working to build a base of smarter energy customers that will benefit the grid.
