Usource is part of the NextEra Energy family of companies that provide energy consulting services. Collectively, we provide our clients the intimate customer experience of an independent consultancy powered by the substantial resources of the world’s largest renewable energy company. Every client is different in the way they approach their goals and the internal and external challenges they have in achieving them. We shape our services to help clients better understand and navigate the relatively new, complex and evolving world of sustainability and renewables. Planning and executing a transition from a conventional energy management program to one focused on zero-carbon emissions requires specific skill sets and levels of experience. Getting it done right requires the cultivation of a strong and attentive client relationship, so communications are clean and action plans are focused in the right direction and at the right pace. Our team is built from energy and renewables veterans that spans retail/wholesale power markets, structuring, contract negotiations and myriad behind-the-meter technologies and services. We have been delivering sophisticated advisory services for more than 20 years.
