How Do We Make Money?

Unlike other business energy brokers, Integrity Energy provides energy procurement and management services completely free to our clients. Here’s how we offer expert services at no cost to you — while still making a profit.

What is an Energy Broker & How Do They Make Money? 

Energy brokers act as an intermediary between companies and retail energy providers, aiding in the procurement and management process. They typically secure more competitive rates and contract terms than businesses acting alone. However, unlike Integrity Energy, they make a profit by charging brokerage service fees to customers who utilize them.

How is Integrity Energy Different from Other Brokerages?

We strive to simplify the energy procurement process and make it as accessible as possible for businesses of every industry. While some energy broker companies charge a fee for their services, Integrity Energy offers energy consulting and brokerage services at no cost to our customers. We are only paid by the supplier if you like the rate and plan enough to sign the contract. Saving you money is our business, so we do everything in our power to provide quality service completely for free! 

How Integrity Energy & Our Clients Make Money 

How Do Supplier Commissions Work?

Integrity Energy never requires payment from our clients. We only receive commissions from suppliers when clients sign a new contract. That’s why our energy experts work diligently to find and customize cost-effective energy plans that help businesses save money. We don’t get paid unless you’re satisfied with your newfound savings! This structure ensures your rates aren’t impacted by brokerage service fees. 

Passing Energy Savings to Our Clients

We pair our extensive supplier network with volume-based pricing that leverages our large client base to negotiate better rates than most businesses could on their own. By consistently bringing new customer accounts to our suppliers, we strengthen our industry partnerships, allowing us to pass even greater savings on to our clients by essentially buying in “bulk”. 

How Our Revenue Model Benefits All Parties

Providing our services completely free of charge to our clients is important to us, and so is offering quality, unbiased recommendations. Our goal is to help you create a commercial energy plan that stabilizes your bills and provides opportunities for savings. Suppliers pay us, so you don’t have to, so the rate you receive is never bogged down by any unnecessary service charges. This model protects your bottom line, provides revenue for suppliers, and keeps our business running.

Integrity Energy’s Commitment to Transparency & Client Retention

Client Transparency

No fees for businesses

We strive to be your trusted partner in the energy industry, which is why we understand the importance of transparency. Our services are and will always be free to your business, so you’ll never receive a bill from Integrity Energy. We do all the research and heavy lifting to provide you with side-by-side comparisons of rates, plans, and contract terms that are best for your business needs. Our goal is to empower businesses with the knowledge to make informed energy decisions that benefit your energy management strategy. This approach has contributed to our 98% client retention rate, demonstrating our commitment to our clients.  

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

How does Integrity Energy make money if services are free? 

We get paid by the supplier once our client signs a contract with it. That means we don’t get to see a dime until your business is happy enough with the rate and plan to sign the contract! 

Will my business ever receive a bill from Integrity Energy? 

No! We will never send you a bill. We get paid by the supplier, not your business.  

 Do supplier commissions affect my energy rate? 

No. Supplier commissions are not included in your energy rate. Your business is only responsible for paying the agreed upon rate to the supplier with no add-ons or commission included.  

Are there any hidden fees in my energy contract? 

Some suppliers include early cancellation fees that go into effect if you try to switch suppliers before the contract term expires. Our energy advisors go over any fees with you before signing, so there are no surprises.  

How do you ensure supplier recommendations are unbiased? 

We provide all available options from our supplier network to you, so your business has the final say on who it goes with. We provide guidance and our expert opinion, but your specific needs are our main priority in doing so.  

What services are included when working with Integrity Energy? 

When partnering with our commercial energy brokers, we handle the entire energy procurement and management process. This includes receiving your personal account manager who negotiates rates on your behalf, handles plan renewals, and offers market insights. We also offer demand response, risk management, and renewable energy consulting completely free to you.
