Sustainability Focus DEMEC emphasizes low to zero carbon emissions, a strong renewable energy mix (solar, wind, and natural gas with low emissions), and energy efficiency programs that saved millions of kWh. This signals opportunities to cross-sell energy efficiency services, demand response programs, and renewable project partnerships to member utilities.

Scale and Collaboration As a Joint Action Agency serving eight communities with economies of scale in power supply, DEMEC seeks competitive pricing and optimized generation mix. This presents a sales opening for energy management solutions, ancillary services, contract optimization, and long-term power procurement arrangements tailored to municipal utilities.

Financial Leverage DEMEC has reduced wholesale rates by 26 percent and reinvested nearly $77 million into member communities over a decade. Highlight opportunities to propose cost-saving software, investment-grade energy projects, and financing options for new generation, storage, or efficiency initiatives.

Growth Orientation Member systems have shown annual growth above national averages, indicating ongoing demand for reliable and innovative power services. Target DEMEC for advanced grid technologies, demand response expansion, and smart metering or data analytics to support growth and reliability.

Community Engagement With nearly 100,000 residents served and a focus on community-owned utilities, there is a receptive market for highly collaborative programs, local partnerships, and transparent reporting tools that enhance member satisfaction and regulatory compliance.
