EnerConnex and Encentiv Energy Announce Strategic Partnership to Streamline Rebates and Incentives for Commercial & Industrial Energy Customers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EnerConnex, a leading energy procurement and advisory firm, today announced a strategic partnership with Encentiv Energy, a provider of energy efficiency incentive data and technology. The collaboration combines EnerConnex’s procurement expertise with Encentiv Energy’s energy rebate and intelligence platform to simplify and accelerate access incentives for commercial and industrial projects across North America.

The integrated offering will allow commercial and industrial customers to identify and capture incentive opportunities more quickly while aligning those opportunities with broader energy procurement and sustainability strategies. The partnership delivers end-to-end value by combining project-level incentive discovery with contract-level procurement optimization, reducing project timelines and improving financial outcomes for energy efficiency investments.

Key Benefits and Highlights

• Comprehensive incentive discovery — Automated identification of applicable rebates from utility programs as well as state and federal programs across jurisdictions.
• Faster project capture — Streamlined workflows that reduce administrative burden and accelerate incentive application and approval using Encentiv’s UtilityGenius Storefront in select utility markets.
• Procurement alignment — Incentive opportunities integrated into procurement strategy to maximize net savings and ROI.
• Scalability — Cloud-based platform and advisory services that support single-site projects to multi-site portfolios.
• Improved contractor coordination — Clear, up-to-date incentive intelligence to help contractors design compliant, rebate-eligible solutions.

The Maryland Auto Dealers Association (MADA), a key partner of EnerConnex, has taken an exciting step forward in supporting this partnership and energy efficiency initiatives for its member dealerships and network businesses. MADA has officially launched their own UtilityGenius™ Commercial Storefront, making it easier than ever for dealerships to access instant utility rebates for energy-efficient upgrades—automatically deducted at checkout.

Through this partnership, MADA members can seamlessly purchase qualifying lighting and equipment upgrades while saving upfront on costs, helping dealerships reduce energy use and work towards improving sustainability.
