ABOUT US
Uniquely Qualified
IES is one of the fastest growing, full-service, energy consulting firms in America. Energy deregulation has now allowed businesses, government, municipalities, and education to choose their energy supplier and realize tremendous cost savings.
We provide service to the largest consumers in government, educational, real estate, manufacturing, data centers and the industrial verticals. Our clients have unique facility and operational demands that require customized energy procurement and efficiency solutions to save them hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars annually.
With over 30 years of combined experience in virtually every aspect of the deregulated energy market, Ideal Energy Solutions possesses the knowledge to take on an ever-changing industry.
OUR MISSION
To bring a new standard of transparency towards the client’s best interest. The energy consulting industry often focuses on what is best for the consultant and not what is best for the user. By providing vetted and accredited alternative sources of gas and electricity to compete against each backed up with analytics, we inform and suggest solutions curtailed to their specific operational needs.

IES leadership has over 100 years of combined energy experience in the energy utility, wholesale trading, retail supply, group purchasing, and energy consulting fields. Learn more about our team below.
