Partnerships That Energize

By: Matt Stasium 

In April 2019, SmartestEnergy US initiated its operations as a modest energy provider, specializing in fully fixed products within the NYISO region. With a team of just nine dedicated professionals, SEUS embarked on an ambitious organic growth strategy, aiming to establish a resilient presence in the dynamic energy sector. This journey was made possible through the steadfast support and guidance provided by both SmartestEnergy UK and Marubeni Corporation. Navigating the intricacies of the ever-evolving energy landscape, SmartestEnergy US effectively charted a course for sustained growth.

In the span of merely four years, we take immense pride in our remarkable expansion. Our team has burgeoned to encompass over 60 dedicated professionals. Our diversified portfolio now encompasses pivotal business areas, including Trading, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and Origination. With a robust array of products and services, we have extended our reach, offering support to more than 40 utilities across eight states and the District of Columbia (D.C.).

Celebrating our fourth-year anniversary, SmartestEnergy US expanded its operations into the ISO-NE region in April 2023, further reinforcing our unwavering commitment to driving innovation and shaping the future of the energy sector. Concurrently, the SmartestEnergy Group underwent a comprehensive rebranding initiative, aligning our corporate identity with the core values we hold. Our overarching mission is to lead the transition toward a 100% renewable energy system, one that promises a brighter and more sustainable future for all. This entails not only offering flexible and innovative solutions for the procurement and sale of renewables but also actively fostering education and awareness to collectively realize this ambitious vision. What sets us apart in the industry is our unique position, blending localized insights into individual markets with a wealth of global expertise. With SmartestEnergy, you can have complete confidence in having a steadfast and long-term partner committed to facilitating your transition. We stand by this promise through our unwavering dedication to superior customer service, the provision of innovative products, and the nurturing of reliable partnerships.

Nonetheless, none of these achievements would be attainable without the unwavering support of our partners. At Smartest, we understand that true progress within the energy sector hinges on robust collaborations. Our network has expanded to include 239 contracting brokers and has served over 2,740 customers, all thanks to our commitment to placing people and understanding at the core of building stronger partnerships. As we venture into New England, our journey is firmly anchored in our steadfast dedication to nurturing enduring relationships with our partners and consultants. These partnerships play a pivotal role in driving innovation and sustainability, laying the foundation for a seamless transition into this dynamic region and fostering overall company growth. Our approach to engaging with brokers is rooted in principles of collaboration, transparency, and the unwavering commitment to delivering tailored energy solutions. Through open and honest communication, educational initiatives, customized solutions, ethical practices, and a relentless pursuit of improvement, we cultivate robust and mutually beneficial relationships with our brokers.

In essence, our dedication to business development transcends mere corporate growth; it signifies our determination to see our brokers thrive alongside us. Together, we illuminate the path toward a brighter and more sustainable energy future.
