Nine industries.
Equal depth.

Nine industries we know in detail, across every U.S. deregulated market. Energy looks different at a single-site manufacturer than a multi-site CRE portfolio than a hyperscale data center than a hospital system - and Pilot brings the same operating standards to all of them. The intersection of industry and market is where the depth shows; the case studies are the evidence.

Industries

Nine, in real depth.

The same operating standards apply to any commercial or industrial buyer - what shifts industry to industry is the detail: load shape, capacity exposure, capital structure, regulatory reality. These nine are where we've gone deepest, with the case studies to prove it. If yours isn't here, the approach still travels - that's where a conversation starts.

Manufacturing & Industrial

From light discrete and food processing through energy-intensive primary metals, chemicals, and refining. Load shapes, capacity exposure, and operational coordination all matter equally.

Commercial Real Estate

Office and industrial REITs, multifamily, cold storage, logistics. Multi-site complexity, tenant pass-throughs, and capital-stack-aware decarbonization.

Public Sector & Municipal

Municipal buildings, water and wastewater utilities, transit, and community choice aggregation. RFP-driven procurement and advisory-friendly engagement models.

Retail & Foodservice

Big-box chains, grocery, QSR, convenience and fuel retail. National multi-state portfolios, refrigeration-heavy loads, and combined power and fuel procurement.

Hospitals & Health Systems

Hospital systems, academic medical centers, ambulatory networks, senior living. 24/7 critical load and redundancy, with regulatory complexity and non-profit capital constraints.

Hospitality

Hotels, resorts, casinos, recreational venues, stadiums. Occupancy-driven load profiles, branded vs. independent operating models, and ongoing capex/opex trade-offs.

Education

K-12 districts, community colleges, multi-campus universities. Bond financing tied to energy projects, multi-year capital planning, and campus-scale 15+ year sustainability commitments.

Food Processing

Dairy, beverages, meat and poultry, produce packing, cold storage. Production-sensitive loads plus continuous refrigeration - where capacity charges and DR drive material savings.

Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure

Hyperscale, colocation, and edge. Uptime constraints, carbon commitments, and Direct Access strategy converge - and load is growing faster than any other category.

The depth still applies. A 30-minute call is the fastest way to see how it maps to your portfolio.

Markets

Choice where it exists.
Coverage where it doesn't.

Deregulation gave businesses the right to choose how they buy energy - Pilot helps you use it. Where the market is competitive we run procurement, and for larger loads, Direct Access. Where it isn't, invoice verification, load management, and decarbonization still apply - in all 50 states.

Every state · regulated or not
Invoice Verification · Load Management · Decarbonization
Work in any U.S. market - no supplier choice required. All 50 states + D.C.
Deregulated markets · where you have supplier choice
Procurement & Risk · Direct Access
Shop competitive suppliers instead of the default utility - or, for larger commercial & industrial loads, go to the wholesale end with Direct Access. Where Pilot started, in California.
