Our bill optimization services 

You choose how involved Emrgi is in your monthly power bill. Read on below for details on our services and pricing for each. 

Core

Pro

Savings Search

Our free, baseline service

Emrgi checks on your meters each month for savings opportunities, utility billing errors, and helpful upgrades and will let you know when we find an opportunity that could benefit you.

 

All Emrgi members automatically receive this service at no upfront cost. The cooperative retains 10% of any benefits it helps you find to cover the ongoing costs of operating this service - a little like a finders fee.

 

For example, if we save you $25 one month, we charge you $2.50 for helping you save. If we help you purchase and install a new heat pump for $3000, we charge you $300 for facilitating the process.

​

For every $1 the cooperative earns, $1 is donated to support families experiencing unaffordable energy bills. Cooperative fees are used to cover the ongoing costs of operating the service, and any remaining funds are passed back to members as dividends. â€‹â€‹â€‹

Community Solar

Our signature renewable energy offering

Our signature community solar service is priced at the same rate as our Core finder's fee: 10%. In this case, we charge 10% of the cost of your power bill each month for upgrading your usage to 100% solar.

​

For example, if your bill is $200 for the month, you'll pay us $20 to ensure that your power is 100% sourced from local solar farms. 

 

All solar power is procured within each grid region across the US to ensure that it is local to your area.

The same donation and dividend structure applies as it does for any fee that Emrgi collects.

Payment Features

Pay with Emrgi

Let us take care of your bill payment

You only pay one monthly bill for 100% clean power through Emrgi, who will coordinate billing with your grid provider and solar supplier on your behalf.

​

There is no charge for this service, though you can also save 2% on each bill if you opt in and pay through ACH.

​

​If you opt out of this service, you will pay for your Emrgi savings community solar subscription and your standard energy service separately.

Bill Smoothing

For a predictable bill each month

Pay the same every month based on your anticipated monthly usage level and rates. We set your monthly billing amount based on your historical usage, rate, and billing data; you pay that same amount for a full year before truing up your actual costs annually.

 

To further prevent financial shocks during the annual true-up, any savings from the year are deposited to your cooperative dividend account and used to offset months when you use more than your usage level; any additional costs are spread evenly over the next year of monthly payments.​

Rate Lock

A single, all-in rate with inflation protection

Emrgi will conduct a historical analysis of your power bills and track fluctuations in recent months. Based on this data, we will offer you an all-in solar rate, and lock this in for the year. It is guaranteed to only go up 2% each year as long as you are a member. If grid rates go up less than expected, you may receive a share of the savings as dividends.
