Omni Energy Partners

What Omni Energy Partners does

Omni Energy Partners, LLC is a privately held design/build Performance Contracting firm that delivers turnkey facility improvement and energy efficiency projects exclusively to K-12 school districts, primarily in Illinois and the surrounding Midwest. The company's core offering is a single-contract Performance Contracting engagement in which it assumes complete design-and-build responsibility, maintains a dedicated on-site project manager throughout construction, and guarantees a fixed price with measured energy and operational savings that offset construction cost. Founders Scott Graves (Managing Partner) and Mark Graves (Board Member), supported by a core team of roughly 19 staff including credentialed engineers (e.g., Jim Thurman, PE, CEM) and project developers, have each spent nearly 30 years in the performance contracting space and have completed more than 100 projects collectively. Service modules layered onto the core contract include HVAC modifications with indoor air quality upgrades, dynamic LED lighting and controls, secure entrances, STEAM and science classroom renovations, building envelope improvements, solar/renewable energy work, and bathroom renovations, plus grant and incentive funding assistance.

The company generates revenue through project-based, custom-scoped construction contracts, structured as multi-year engagements where the district pays for improvements out of guaranteed savings and supplemented by grants and incentive funding that Omni helps source. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per district. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — consultative, relationship-driven, on-site discovery and multi-year facility planning — augmented by preferred-vendor status with the Schools of Illinois Public Cooperative (SIPC), which gives the firm access to more than 560 member districts. The 2024 selection into the U.S. Department of Energy's Renew America's Schools Prize and Grant program provides federal-level validation and potential co-funding of projects. The firm is headquartered in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri (contact operations and 217 area code are Illinois-anchored) and is founder-managed with no disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or funding rounds.
