Powering Profits — Released May 19

Your guide to controlling energy costs is here.

A transformational shift of the electric grid is underway. Between increasing demand and aging infrastructure, costs are going up, rate structures are changing, and reliable supply is no longer guaranteed. Business leaders who take control of their power today will future-proof their operations for years to come, cutting energy costs, increasing resiliency, and unlocking new possibilities for revenue generation. 

In his new book, Gareth Evans — CEO and founder of VECKTA, host of the Renewable Rides podcast, and author of the Powering Profits newsletter — shares his expertise in shaping onsite energy deployment for companies around the world, from single-site operators to Fortune 500s. 

Powering Profits provides readers with actionable, step-by-step advice on how to achieve energy independence. For business leaders across sustainability, operations, finance, real estate and procurement who seek to understand the value of onsite energy — or see the opportunity but don’t know how to get started — here is your roadmap to lower costs, lock in more reliable energy, and generate more profit.

“Gareth does an excellent job translating a complex, fast-moving energy landscape into practical guidance for executives who need results, not theory. ”

Founder of Generate Capital, Former head of U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, Host of Energy Empire and Open Circuit
