Core offering

Acclaim Energy is a strategic energy management advisory firm that helps commercial, public, and nonprofit clients navigate electricity and natural gas procurement, manage cost and supply risk, plan reliability and microgrid strategies, and execute ESG/decarbonization initiatives. The company delivers four integrated service lines (Energy Procurement Service, Energy Risk Management Services, Energy Consulting Services, and Acclaim Reliability Solutions) and operates proprietary aggregation pools for Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) across the US (notably ERCOT/Texas) and Mexico/LATAM. Following the May 2025 sale of US procurement operations to Usource, Acclaim is refocusing on resiliency planning and microgrid strategy under the Acclaim Reliability Solutions (ARS) brand.

Product overview

Acclaim Energy is an independent strategic energy management advisory firm offering a platform of interconnected services for commercial, public, and nonprofit clients. The core portfolio consists of four integrated service lines: Energy Procurement Service (EPS) for electricity and natural gas sourcing, Energy Risk Management Services (RMS) for cost and supply risk mitigation, Energy Consulting Services (ECS) for efficiency and optimization, and Acclaim Reliability Solutions (ARS) for resilience and microgrid planning. These are complemented by add-on offerings including ESG advisory, Energy Analytics (leveraging data from 10,000+ meters), Energy as a Service (EAAS), and the All About Energy Podcast. A May 2025 acquisition by Usource resulted in the US procurement operations being sold, with Acclaim retaining reliability solutions and other energy initiatives under the ARS brand. The firm operates across the US (ERCOT market) and Mexico/LATAM.
