Abstract: Abstract In addition to the traditional electric utilities, both private and public, a host of companies exist in the marketplace that provides the services needed to accomplish integrated energy supply investments. The author tells about demand and supply-side energy service companies and the history of energy service and software enterprise companies as well as equipment manufactures. She relates her experience with companies like Sempra, Chevron, Duke, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Trane, Silicon Energy (now Intergy) and other companies who have the expertise, resources and financial goal to accomplish integrated energy supply investments. She illustrates the positive roles they play as business partners, where they fall apart, and how internal corporate profit and loss structures can be changed to improve profitability. She relays the problems that customers have in working with energy service and supply companies as well as the problems these companies have with customers. She reinforces through example the need for information, communication and asset management software as essential tools for business partnering and for realizing the full benefit of long term investments.
