Bollinger Energy Corporation

What Bollinger Energy Corporation does

Bollinger Energy Corporation is a privately held, family-owned energy supply management and consulting firm headquartered in Towson, Maryland, serving commercial, industrial, government, and institutional clients across the Mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC). Founded in 1988 as a petroleum supplier, the firm pivoted into natural gas supply following 1993 deregulation, added electricity supply consulting in 2005, and in 2021 divested its petroleum and transportation operations to Shipley Energy to refocus on deregulated gas and electricity brokering; in 2022 it launched a community solar subscription business matching clients with distributed solar projects.

The company's core offering is a consulting platform built around market monitoring, supplier matchmaking, and flexible pricing structures (firm fixed, index, and blended) for natural gas and electricity supply. Its technology stack is centered on human-driven market intelligence — a four-step Analyze-Communicate-Recommend-Collaborate methodology executed by account advocates with 15+ years of industry experience — supported by strategic supplier alliances and a carbon-offset partnership with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation for a Net Zero Carbon Natural Gas product. No proprietary software, APIs, or automation platforms are disclosed.

Bollinger operates on a commission/fee-based broker model: clients pay no upfront or monthly fees and have no exclusivity obligations, while the firm earns revenue from energy supplier commissions on contracts it brokers. GTM is direct sales-led, targeting six primary verticals (property management, healthcare, schools, manufacturing, government, institutional) and three secondary verticals (churches, fitness centers, hotels, restaurants). Recurring revenue was introduced via the 2022 community solar subscription product, which offers 10-20% electric bill savings, alongside a long-running net-zero carbon gas program that has offset 3.83M therms over 10+ years.
