EnergyCAP Adds Insights to its Energy Management Platform as Customers Report 3x More Value Than They Pay

Catalyst Converge brings EnergyCAP Insights, powered by Watts AI, to utility teams to surface the issues that matter most and make complex utility data easy to explore at any level of expertise - grounded in their own validated data, not the open web

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — EnergyCAP®, the leading utility and energy management platform for public and private sector organizations, announced Insights, a new capability to their energy and utility management platform, that brings reporting, alerting and prioritization together so energy teams can focus on what’s most important. The announcement came at Catalyst Converge, the company’s 20th annual conference where energy, facilities, finance and sustainability teams are gathered for three days of learning, collaboration, and product innovation.

This year’s event marks two decades of the annual, in-person conference, bringing together longtime customers as well as those experiencing Catalyst for the first time. The 2026 theme, Converge, reflects how energy management is changing as data, teams, and technology come together to solve increasingly complex challenges.

Closely following EnergyCAP Watts AI and Watts Chat, which were released earlier this year, Insights is built on powerful AI technology that lets users better understand their data and quickly surface their most pressing issues.

Beyond new products like Insights, EnergyCAP is applying the latest AI and automation across the platform to strengthen proven workflows. In Bill Capture, new technology improves processing speed and accuracy while reducing manual work and exceptions.

The launch follows a productive year for the platform. Last month, the company released its 2026 Value of EnergyCAP report, based on responses from customers across every industry they serve. Among the findings, more than 9 in 10 customers say that EnergyCAP meets or exceeds their ROI expectations, 1 in 4 had their expectations exceeded, and customers report receiving 3 times more value from EnergyCAP than they pay for it.

“Twenty years of Catalyst have taught us the same thing every year: the best ideas in utility management come from the people doing the work,” said Shawn Lankton, CEO of EnergyCAP. “Our customers don’t need help finding more problems — they have plenty competing for their time and attention. They need help prioritizing what matters and getting the right data in the right format to share across teams. Our latest product innovation brings those pieces together so our customers can focus on the work that has the greatest impact.”

Watts Reports allows all customers, regardless of expertise or experience, to quickly build the custom reports that simplify their complex data into exactly what they need, then refine, save, rerun, and share the report output. Watts Alerts let customers define what matters to them and choose how they want to be notified when it happens. The Signals dashboard brings key issues and priorities into one place, ranked by impact so teams know where to focus first.

Together, these capabilities form Insights and extend EnergyCAP’s broader investment in AI and automation while building on the centralized data and longstanding technology customers have trusted for more than four decades.

Melanie Stewart, Senior Sustainability and Energy Consultant at IMEG, said “We’ve started creating reports around the questions we’re trying to answer, with the flexibility to refine and reuse them as our needs change. Even from our early experience, we’re excited about the value Watts Reports could bring to our team.”

Catalyst Converge continues September 14–16 in Orlando, Florida. The program features founder and former CEO, Steve Heinz, athletes and advocates for inclusion Kyle and Brent Pease, multiple learning tracks, and customer-led sessions including NASA Kennedy Space Center, Miami-Dade County, and the University of Arizona.

The next Catalyst is already taking shape and is planned for September 20-22, 2027, in Austin, Texas.

EnergyCAP Announces Watts Chat: Instant Answers from the Utility Data that Energy Teams Already Trust

The newest Watts AI capability gives energy, sustainability, facilities, and finance teams the ability to ask anything and get instant answers from the validated utility data inside the EnergyCAP platform

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., June 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — EnergyCAP®, the leading utility and energy management platform, today announced the launch of Watts Chat, the first generative AI capability built on the Watts AI engine. Watts Chat gives energy, sustainability, facilities, and finance teams natural-language access to their own utility data—delivering fast, accurate answers grounded in the audited, financial-grade data their organizations have relied on for decades.

Image caption: EnergyCAP Announces Watts Chat.

Energy and facilities managers work with some of the most complex operational data in any organization. The challenge is not finding useful data; it is making sense of years of bills, meters, vendors, weather, rates across buildings and projects quickly enough to make time-sensitive, cost-bearing decisions. Watts Chat changes that by allowing utilities teams to ask a question in plain language of their validated data, and get immediate answers: billing summaries, meter data, usage spikes, cost breakdowns, vendor-specific details, or export-ready charts for energy audits, all in seconds.

Unlike generic AI tools, Watts Chat is deeply integrated into each customer’s own data. It keeps the data secure and Watts AI gets smarter based on the structure and context already built into EnergyCAP. For large portfolios, that means troubleshooting in seconds instead of hours. For newer energy managers, it means getting to the right answer without multiple clicks. And for experienced practitioners, it means spending more time acting on insights and less time searching for them.

“Energy and utility managers deal with an enormous amount of complexity. Across accounts, meters, bill details, interval data, site info, carbon factors, and more, EnergyCAP has the data to answer almost any question our customers have. EnergyCAP has always provided the best path to that data, and Watts AI and Watts Chat now make this dramatically easier. It combines decades of energy intelligence and customers’ own validated data, so teams can spend their time on the work that matters,” said Shawn Lankton, CEO, EnergyCAP.

Developed over a year including a six-month beta program, Watts Chat has been validated with customers across multiple industries. The results Watts Chat delivers demonstrate both the breadth and the depth of decision-ready data; customers reported saving dozens of hours each month with Watts, and the highest-rated use cases reflect the daily work of utility teams: comparing usage and cost across portfolios, surfacing details instantly, and quickly answering questions from leadership and other teams.

“For quick internal information, Watts Chat is much faster. It summarizes the data, highlights key takeaways, and helps me think about what to check next. This gives me the starting point I need so I can focus on what the data is telling me,” said Michele M., Energy Management Analyst, Miami-Dade County.

Watts Chat is available now to all EnergyCAP customers as part of their existing software license.

Watts Chat is the first of many exciting new capabilities that Watts AI will deliver. EnergyCAP will share additional product enhancements and offerings later this year at the 20th annual conference, Catalyst Converge (September 14–16, 2026).

AFL Global Automates Energy Management and Anticipates $304K of Savings in First Year with EnergyCAP

BOALSBURG, Pa., Nov. 18, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — AFL Global, a global leader in telecommunications and fiber optic solutions, has achieved a significant sustainability milestone by leveraging EnergyCAP, a leading energy and sustainability software platform. By implementing EnergyCAP, AFL Global has automated the management of nearly two-hundred utility accounts, which has enabled $304,000 in anticipated annual energy and utility cost savings and substantial environmental gains.

Image caption: EnergyCAP.

Facing mounting pressure from stakeholders to enhance sustainability practices, AFL had been burdened by a time-consuming process that required thirty-six hours each month to manage utility data manually. Recognizing the need for innovation, AFL turned to EnergyCAP in December 2023, revolutionizing its approach to energy management.

AFL Global Sustainability Wins:

Natural Gas Leak Detection: Identifying abnormal gas usage through software led to the discovery and repair of a natural gas leak, saving AFL $3,300 annually.

Energy Efficiency Projects: Data insights empowered AFL to complete twenty-nine energy efficiency projects across its operations, resulting in expected savings of 1.9 million kWh and $170,000 annually.
Rate Structure Review: By reviewing utility rate structures, AFL identified an additional $120,000 in annual savings.

In addition to these financial and environmental benefits, EnergyCAP’s customizable dashboards empowered AFL to enhance transparency and communication around energy usage. AFL employees across the organization gained access to real-time energy data, enabling them to make faster, data-driven decisions.

“EnergyCAP’s software not only helps us find savings but also provides transparency with customizable dashboards available to all AFL employees,” said Geoff VanderVeen, Executive Director, Environmental Health & Safety at AFL. “We can now communicate facility data with stakeholders more efficiently, often within a month rather than the up to 6+ month lag previously experienced. This timely, transparent data reporting sets us apart, allowing us to support our sustainability initiatives with concrete, regularly updated information.”

Shawn Lankton, CEO of EnergyCAP, emphasized the importance of automation in sustainability efforts: “AFL’s success showcases the transformative power of automation in energy and sustainability data management. By streamlining manual processes and providing critical insights, EnergyCAP enables organizations to unlock significant savings while advancing their sustainability goals. AFL’s journey is a testament to how technology and data transparency can drive meaningful operational and environmental change.”

AFL’s transition from manual, labor-intensive processes to automated, data-driven practices has strengthened its sustainability credentials, proving that the right technology can make a substantial impact on both operational efficiency and sustainability performance.

As AFL continues to leverage EnergyCAP’s innovative capabilities, they demonstrate how organizations can turn external pressures into strategic advantages—achieving not only cost savings but also paving the way for a brighter, greener future.

* $60,000 at the US Consulate General Johannesburg, also through minimum billed demand changes.

RUNNERS UP: The University of Cincinnati and Charlotte County, FL

THE ENERGYCAP TRIFECTA AWARD

Winner: The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) has distinguished itself by securing the Trifecta Award, thanks to its dual nominations and the tangible energy savings achieved using EnergyCAP's comprehensive suite of software solutions. Since adopting EnergyCAP in 2017, UTMB has effectively leveraged the software for a variety of purposes, including data collection, Bill CAPture, chargebacks, and, more recently, the integration of SmartAnalytics and CarbonHub.

One notable success story from UTMB's application of EnergyCAP SmartAnalytics involved the identification of a malfunctioning chilled water valve, which, once corrected, yielded $25,000 in savings within just a year. This instance, particularly exemplified by the improvements made in the Customs House, is just a starting point for UTMB, as they aim to extend these energy-saving practices across their facilities, demonstrating a scalable model of efficiency and sustainability.

RUNNERS UP: University of New Mexico and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

MOST CREATIVE ENERGY PROJECT

WINNER: The University of Cincinnati was awarded the "Most Creative Energy Project" for its course, "Energy, Environment and Society," co-taught by Eugene Rutz and Sid Thatham. This innovative course educates students from all disciplines about energy technologies, policies, and practices globally through debates, tours, presentations, and a hands-on capstone project where students devise real-world energy solutions. A unique aspect is its study-abroad program in Scotland, where students compare international energy perspectives with domestic ones, gaining insights from various sectors.

The course aims to empower the next generation of leaders with a deep understanding of the complex factors influencing energy policy and sustainability. By incorporating tools like EnergyCAP UtilityManagement and EnergyCAP CarbonHub, it will enable students to analyze real energy and carbon data, fostering critical thinking and practical problem-solving skills. This recognition underscores the University of Cincinnati's commitment to preparing students to address and influence the future of energy and sustainability critically and creatively.

RUNNER UP: The Youth in Energy Empowerment Program (YEEP) followed closely as runner up with its inspiring initiatives to grow and train the next generation of sustainability professionals.

MOST CREATIVE SUSTAINABILITY Program

Highlight projects include the Eco-Machine, which purifies wastewater while producing biofuels, and the MorningStar Solar Home, a fully renewable-energy powered residence that exemplifies energy self-sufficiency.

BEST DASHBOARD

WINNER: The St. Johns County School District (SJCSD)'s distribution of its energy incentives through its public dashboards has earned it the "Best Public Dashboard" award.

In September 2008, the School Board adopted an innovative Energy Management Program (EMP) aimed at controlling and optimizing the cost and consumption of energy and related products across all district facilities.

Since the inception of the EMP, the footprint of SJCSD's facilities has expanded significantly; the district's gross facility footprint grew by over 35% from 4,977,748 square feet in 2008 to 6,746,702 square feet by the end of FY 2020. Despite this growth, the district has demonstrated remarkable efficiency improvements and cost savings through its energy management strategies and has publicized the data through its EnergyCAP Public Dashboard.

The SJCSD's efforts are highlighted through comprehensive dashboards that track energy, water, and sewer usage and costs across more than 40 school sites and over 180 accounts. While natural gas utility bills are currently tracked outside of the Energy Management Program, the district is actively working to integrate all commodities into its energy management system.
