About Us
An Energy Consutancy Built by Industry Professionals
Bringing Consulting to the Energy Industry
Our Management Team and founders have worked for years with their customers to help them identify the best possible companies, products, and services to meet their business needs. It's wired into our core. As the competitive energy market was exploding in 2010 - as price caps in markets expired and competitive suppliers were getting established - our founders saw a need to bring energy supply knowledge to mid-market customers. That was the nucleus of the idea to form an Advisory firm - NetGain Energy Advisors.
We've had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients across several states in the last 13 years, and continue to work with them as contracts expire and their needs change.
