Pricing
No savings, no fee. And the fee is published.
One simple model: a share of the first year of verified savings, and nothing after that.
If we find nothing
$0
The quick check is free, and so is a full audit that doesn’t turn up savings. No retainer, no setup fee, no hourly billing.
If we find savings
40% of first-year verified savings
Our fee is based only on savings verified in the first 12 months. After that, you keep 100% of the ongoing savings.
What counts
Verified means it showed up in your account
- Refunds and credits that SCE (or a taxing agency) actually issues. Invoiced once, after the money posts.
- Forward savings from rate changes and other fixes, measured on your actual bills. We compare what your old rate would have charged for the same usage in the same period with what you were actually billed, so changes in usage or weather don’t distort the number.
- 12 months, then stop. Forward savings count for the first 12 billing periods after each change. Then the fee ends.
- Every invoice comes with a savings report showing the billing periods, method and calculations behind it.

| First-year verified savings | $29,200 |
| Watt Bounty fee (40%) | −$11,680 |
| You keep in year one | $17,520 |

| Cost to you if we had found nothing | $0 |
Figures are made up to show the arithmetic. They are not an estimate for your building or a guarantee of results. How refunds and forward savings are measured and invoiced is set out in your agreement.
Good to know
The fine print, in plain English
No fee on projections
Estimates in your quick check and findings report are just that. We invoice only on verified results.
You approve every action
Nothing is filed with SCE and no rate is changed without your sign-off. You can decline any recommendation.
Reversals are refunded
If SCE later reverses a credit we were paid on, we refund or credit the matching share of our fee.
This page summarizes how our pricing works. Detailed terms, including measurement methods, invoicing and termination, are set out in the engagement agreement you sign before any full audit begins. If anything here differs from your agreement, the agreement governs.
