Our Company
Company History
Founded by utility professionals, GoodCents is the leader in full-scale, demand-side services for utilities ranging from Demand Response, Advanced Metering Infrastructure, and Smart Grid to Load Research, Measurement & Verification and Energy Efficiency. GoodCents handles everything, from the initial research and development of programs, to their marketing, implementation, and ongoing measurement and verification.
GoodCents has a 32-year track record of helping some of the largest utilities in North America devise and implement new programs. GoodCents understands how regulatory bodies impact your strategies and day-to-day operations; how customer needs can often be at odds with federal energy regulations; and how important customer satisfaction is to your success.
Originally founded as A&C Enercom, GoodCents assumed its current name in 2001 and has since experienced unprecedented growth. Today, GoodCents employs nearly 500 marketing, customer service, and utility professionals who manage all of our demand-side management programs. With over 50 active utility relationships, GoodCents has become the leader in the delivery of complex integrated service offerings to achieve the ever-increasing program requirements.
