Critical Power Consulting, P.C. helps businesses navigate the world of electric utilities. Often times developers, land owners, or existing utility customers find themselves caught in a world of electric utility jargon and acronyms (CIAC, Tarriff, Schedule or Rule XX, T&D kW, kWh, kVA, power factor, load factor, TOU). Asking the utility for too much up front will cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions, and drive the schedule beyond required milestones. On the other hand, asking for too little may leave you out in the cold with your competition. Most businesses do not have the time or the internal expertise to figure out all the nuances and terminology used in the world of electric utilities. This is where CPC comes in. Let us guide you and peel back the curtain to the electric utilities, and help you understand where and how your money is being spent.
