APPI operates independently. It is not affiliated with any utility, vendor, or energy supplier. Client relationships are based on a performance, value-added model. Members pay no upfront, hourly, or retainer fees. APPI is compensated when it demonstrates and delivers savings and/or refunds. APPI’s staff includes engineers, tariff and regulatory specialists, financial and legal professionals, and account management advisors with expertise in utility analysis, tariff auditing and energy deregulation.

APPI has received the endorsement of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) as its energy and utility consulting partner.
