VECKTA is an onsite energy marketplace platform where companies can access vetted capital, construction, and equipment suppliers all in one place. Due to an aging grid, skyrocketing utility costs, decreased reliability, and slow deployment of low carbon options, businesses must have an energy strategy. VECKTA’s platform allows businesses to baseline and assess their energy situation today, prioritize where they will gain the greatest return on investment, design customized energy solutions for their business objectives, leverage a transparent and competitive marketplace to finance and deploy their energy solution and then monitor and verify its performance – in one integrated platform. Business leaders can make well-informed decisions, creating a win for the business, a new customer for the supplier, and a more habitable planet for all. We are revolutionizing the distributed energy industry.
