Energy management, run with you

We run it.
Or we back it.

Pilot operates your energy function end-to-end as a turnkey engagement, or co-manages it alongside your internal energy lead. Procurement and risk management, invoice audit, load management, decarbonization, and market access — managed, anticipated, and saved on by a team whose only job is to sit on your side of the table.

Why we exist

The energy market wasn't built for you.

Deregulation has created a market of confusing contracts, hidden fees, and rules that change by state. The fastest-growing line on your bill isn't energy — it's capacity, ancillaries, and transmission. Someone is profiting from the complexity. It usually isn't the buyer.

Pilot was built to change that. We're not moonlighting brokers or consultants. We're not a power supplier. We're an energy advocate that operates the function — or part of it — on your behalf, with no incentive other than yours.

Why Pilot

Three differentiators.
Why clients pick Pilot. Why they stay.

01

Three sides of the table.

Energy procurement, sold and bought. Now run from alongside.

Pilot's senior advocates have made energy procurement decisions as buyers, structured supply contracts as suppliers, and now sit alongside clients navigating both. Three perspectives. One operating purpose: getting it right from the buyer's seat. The depth comes from having been everywhere the deal happens.

The receipt: When a senior advocate says "I've been on the other side of that conversation" — they have. The pattern recognition is earned, not learned.

02

Shaped to your spend.

Six figures to nine. Different shape every time.

Whether you're spending six figures on energy or nine, your needs differ — different risk tolerance, different reporting cadence, different bandwidth on your team, different operational complexity. Pilot's approach, products, and services flex to fit. We meet you where you are, not where the engagement template wants you to be.

The receipt: A $5M-spend portfolio gets a different engagement than a $50M one. Same standards. Different ride.

03

Built for us. Extended to you.

We use what we build — then extend it.

Pilot's technology investment isn't a separate product business. PowerUp is the platform Pilot's own advocates use to run client portfolios — same data, same dashboards, same procurement intelligence, now extended to clients. Real-time market visibility, procurement analytics, the operational ground truth to take confident, defensive action. Tech isn't a substitute for expertise. It's leverage for it.

The receipt: When markets move, you see what your advocate sees. Same data, same dashboard, same decision support. Decisions don't wait on a quarterly call.

Case study

A food processor, on a layered hedge.

ManufacturingPJM · MISOTurnkey

A Midwest food processor with five sites had relied on a single supplier for nine years. Capacity passthrough had become the largest line on the bill. Pilot took over the function, ran a 9-supplier RFP, restructured to layered block-and-index, filed tariff switches at three sites, and enrolled the largest site in PJM Emergency DR.
