Energy-smart commerce for utility programs

Help customers when the water heater fails. That's where the scale is.

557 units in one day on one utility marketplace. Water heaters are the proof — the platform does it for every category.

The platform

Your program has to be there when the customer decides.

Most programs arrive after the decision, through a rebate application. By then the model is chosen and the efficiency is locked in for a decade or more.

The clearest way to see Enervee: it is a midstream program, and the marketplace is the retailer. Your incentive is applied at the point of sale instead of reimbursed weeks later — the same structure your midstream HVAC and water heating programs already use, running online.

Not a store your program links to. The channel it runs through.

Choice Engine

What your customers see.

Every model on the market scored 0–100, live pricing, your rebate and monthly payment applied — white-label under your own brand, on the device where most shopping happens.

The Enervee Choice Engine on a phone: a gas tankless water heater with an Enervee Score of 100, installed pricing with a $1,500 utility rebate applied, a monthly payment option, and a button to claim the same rebate for a purchase made elsewhere.

Programs

One decision point, every program.

One foundation and three interventions across your DSM portfolio. The Score is always on; the rest switch on in any combination, in whatever order your programs need.

  • Show the Enervee Score® and the measure mix shifts

    The patented Enervee Score® rates every model on the market 0–100, updated daily across 40+ categories. Making efficiency visible is itself the intervention — no rebate, no incentive spend.

    Deliver the rebate at checkout, or anywhere else they bought

    Rebate amounts appear on the product before purchase, so customers aren’t guessing at what qualifies. Instant at checkout, or processed post-purchase for buys made anywhere — at your existing incentive levels. Efficiency, electrification and resiliency measures run the same rails, from a heat pump water heater to a portable power station.

  • Pre-enroll in demand response in the same checkout

    Enrollment can’t complete until the device is installed and online. Pre-enrollment captures the commitment at purchase and completes when the device connects — two program measures from one acquisition, and load flexibility from an efficiency budget.

  • Make the rebate budget go further

    Eco Financing® sits at checkout, underwritten by lending partners — no cost to the utility, nothing on your balance sheet, no change to your approved incentive levels. Customers pick the longest term, up to 60 months, because they optimise the monthly payment rather than the APR. Low income customers who would otherwise abandon the purchase complete it.

FAQ

What program teams ask before they buy.

What is a utility marketplace, and what does Enervee run?

A utility marketplace is an online store your program runs as the retail channel: customers shop real products at real prices with your incentive already applied, instead of buying elsewhere and applying for a rebate afterwards. Enervee builds and operates it white-label under your brand — every model on the market rated for efficiency, live pricing, eligibility checked against your records, and rebates applied at checkout.

How the marketplace works

Which energy efficiency programs can run on it?

Efficiency, electrification and resiliency measures run the same rails across your DSM portfolio — from a heat pump water heater to a portable power station. An independent ETCC assessment of a large California utility's online marketplace attributed 77% of gross electric savings and 88% of gas savings to the marketplace experience beyond any incentives.

Can you run our heat pump water heater program?

Yes, including the emergency replacement. Roughly 75% of water heater replacements happen because the old unit failed (NEEA), and most programs aren't present for that moment — the customer takes what the contractor has on the truck. One Southern California gas utility runs its water heater program through the marketplace, with installation and haul-away priced at checkout.

See the water heater program

Can you enroll customers in demand response at the point of purchase?

Yes. Pre-enrollment is captured at purchase and completes once the device is installed and online, so one acquisition becomes two program measures and load flexibility comes out of an efficiency budget. DOE's Virtual Power Plants Liftoff report names point-of-purchase enrollment as a high-impact lever and identifies Enervee as a marketplace partner delivering it. On one utility's thermostat program, pre-enrollment ran at 97% across roughly 40,000 devices, as reported by that utility in Public Utilities Fortnightly.

Can you deliver our existing utility rebates?

Yes, at your existing approved incentive levels — no change to workpapers or approved measures. Instant at checkout, or processed afterwards through Fast Track for a purchase made anywhere. Eligibility verifies against your own customer records in real time by API or scheduled file sync, and Enervee runs the call center under SLAs.

How the marketplace works

What security, privacy and accessibility standards do you meet?

Enervee is SOC 2 Type II audited, with a public trust report, and handles customer data under CCPA. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit with keys held in hardware security modules, and the application is penetration tested by third-party specialists. The marketplace is built to WCAG 2.1 AA.
