Platform
Three pillars of grid mastery
We hunt down the best ways to optimize your utility bills
Recovery
Forensic recovery claws back overcharges
Deep audits expose CPUC violations and billing errors
Optimization
Engineer the perfect load for your facility
Align operations with rate structures before penalties hit
Journey
From audit to always-on optimization
We start by recovering what you're owed, then keep you ahead

Sectors
Energy overhead hits different across industries
Cold storage, manufacturing, and ag-tech each face unique rate structures and demand patterns. We've engineered recovery and optimization strategies tailored to how your facility actually runs.
Cold storage

What industrial operators say
"GridShark found $1.8M in overcharges we never knew existed, then cut our annual bill by another 18% through load optimization."
Marcus Chen
Operations director,

FAQ
Questions about recovery, optimization, and the GridShark platform
How far back do audits go?
We standardly audit the past 36 months of billing history, as regulatory windows allow for the recovery of overcharges within this timeframe. Our team knows exactly where utilities hide these errors, ensuring no historical capital is left behind.
What does optimization actually cost?
Zero upfront costs. Zero Risk. We provide the full forensic audit and ongoing optimization at our own expense. GridShark only collects a 30% performance fee on the actual savings we secure for you. If we don’t find savings, you don’t pay a cent.
Can you guarantee specific savings?
Recovery amounts depend on what we find in your billing history. Optimization savings vary by facility, rate structure, and operational flexibility. We model both before you commit.
How does the GridShark dashboard work?
Real-time feeds from your meter and California's grid data flow into our proprietary engine. Alerts fire when rates drop, demand charges threaten, or load-shifting opportunities appear. You act or we can automate it.
Do you work with all utilities?
We specialize in California's major IOUs and municipal utilities. Each has different rate structures and billing quirks. We know them all.
What if we're already optimized?
Even the most efficient facilities often harbor hidden overcharges and misapplied tariffs that standard software overlooks. Our audit serves as a zero-risk fail-safe, providing either a certified clean bill of health or a significant recovery of capital.
How long until we see results?
Recovery refunds typically hit your statement within 90 days of audit completion. Operational optimization savings begin the first full month GridShark goes live on your facility.
Can you integrate with our systems?
GridShark connects to most industrial SCADA and metering systems via API. If your facility runs on custom hardware, we build a bridge. Integration usually takes two weeks.
What happens if rates change?
Shark recalibrates automatically when utilities file new tariffs. Our engine stays locked on the lowest available rates, always. You don't have to think about it.
Is this a long-term commitment?
We operate on three-year performance agreements covering historical recovery, rate optimization, and continuous load monitoring. This alignment ensures your facility captures compounding savings as utility markets and regulations fluctuate.
