A $250 power bill costs $237,000 over the next thirty years.
That is not a scare number. It is your current bill, compounded at 6 percent — and Utah’s last two years ran closer to 32 percent. Below is your own number, and what a home battery does to it. No solar required.
Why that line keeps going up.
| Utah electricity demand | GWh per year |
| Every home, business and industry in the state today | 35,075 |
| …plus data centers under construction or permitted | 52,196 |
| …plus the entire announced pipeline, modeled | 209,800 |
| Change against today | +498% |
Announced Utah data-center capacities modeled at 75% utilization. Utah PSC dockets 2025–26.
Homes and data centers pull from the same grid. When capacity gets built to serve industrial load, residential customers help pay for it — that is how the rate base works, and it is not a conspiracy theory. It is the filing.
The advertised rate is not the whole bill, either. Households currently cover 100% of fuel-cost overruns through the Energy Balancing Account. That is the line that turned a single-digit approved increase into roughly 32 percent on real statements over two years.
This is the part most people find out about after the fact. It is also the reason we tell homeowners to compare their own statements from two Augusts ago, rather than trust anyone’s marketing — ours included.
What you hand the power company if nothing changes.
Own the cost instead of renting it forever.
A battery on its own — no panels, nothing on the roof — costs a little more than doing nothing for the first few years, and then it stops. The payment ends. The bill it was offsetting does not.

Illustrated with 20-year financing at 6% annual bill escalation and an 18¢/kWh effective rate. Cash and other terms change the shape of it. Three examples, not your quote — your own numbers depend on your usage pattern and get built at the appointment.
Your battery is not enrolled with the power company.
Utility battery programs pay you a small monthly credit for the right to pull energy out of your battery. Under those terms an enrolled battery can be dispatched daily through the warm months and drawn down to a low reserve — on exactly the afternoons you would want it full. We do not enroll your battery. It answers to your house.
The house runs through an outage.
This is the part people underestimate until the second time it happens. A battery sized to the home carries the essentials — and in most cases a good deal more — without a generator, without fuel, without going outside in the weather to start anything.
Built for daily cycling, not for a phone.
Current home batteries use lithium iron phosphate, a different chemistry from the one in your laptop. They are designed to charge and discharge every day for decades and they carry a manufacturer warranty. The consultant brings the exact terms in writing.
We are not a contractor. We are the homeowner’s side of the table.
You should be skeptical of anyone who knocks on your door about your power bill. So here is the whole business model in three boxes, before you give us a minute of your time.
What we are
A private Utah company that represents homeowners. We hold negotiated pricing agreements with the contractors who actually do this work — solar, battery, roofing, HVAC, windows and thermal film — and we hold them to it. Because we bring volume instead of one-off leads, that negotiated pricing has come in as much as 45% below what the same homeowner was quoted going direct.
What we are not
We are not a government agency, not affiliated with any utility, and not an administrator of any utility or state program. We do not install anything. We do not sell equipment. We do not run a credit check to book a review, and we do not sell your information to a lead broker — that is the entire reason this is a registry and not a lead form.
How we get paid
If — and only if — you choose to move forward, the contractor pays us, out of the pricing we negotiated. The review costs you nothing whether you hire anyone or not. We are telling you this up front because it is the first question a careful person asks, and because a company that hides it is telling you something.
The installers are the ones with the track record.
The Registry is new. The contractors in it are not. Every company we place work with is licensed and insured in Utah, and we will hand you the license number and their public review history before you sign anything — not after. Look them up yourself. That is the point.
Our current network includes: Only the top contractors in every field, vetted through a 50-point certification program.
Text or call. A person answers, and it is the same number you would use later to move or cancel an appointment.
Prefer to text? Send a message to 385-600-5711 from your phone. Replies usually come the same day.
We would rather you not book than waste your evening.
Book a review if
- +You own the home, and every owner on the title can be there.
- +You want any of these now: solar, battery, a roof, HVAC, windows or thermal film.
- +Rate increases have started to bother you.
- +You want the house to run through an outage.
Please don’t if
- –You rent. We cannot change a home you don’t own.
- –Only one of two owners can be there. Move it instead — we will not run it with half the household.
- –None of those six is something you actually want. We don’t invent a need.
- –You want a free thermal-camera energy report and nothing else. We stopped doing those.
Five questions, then pick your time.
So the right person shows up with the right information, instead of a generic pitch. Nothing here is a credit check and none of it is sold to anyone.
We are not going to be able to help here — and we would rather say so.
Nothing we do works on a home you don’t own. If you know the owner, the notice on the door is worth passing along. If you buy in the next couple of years, come back — we will still be here and the numbers will be worse, which is the whole problem.
Not ready to pick a date?
Leave your name and number and we will reach out to schedule around you. No system, no drip, no selling your information — a person with a phone.
Or text 385-600-5711 from your phone — that reaches the same person.
Straight answers.
Is this the state, the power company, or some kind of official program?
No. The Utah Energy Registry is a private Utah company. We are not a government agency, not affiliated with any utility, and not an administrator of any utility or state program. The notice on your door says so in print, and so does the bottom of this page. Anyone who tells you otherwise at your door is not with us.
Why is it free? What is the catch?
The review is free because contractors pay to be in a network that brings them ready homeowners instead of cold leads — and they only pay when work actually happens. That is the whole model. It also means we have no reason to push you toward the most expensive option, and every reason to keep the contractor honest, because our agreement is with you and our pricing is negotiated up front.
Do you sell my information?
No. Your answers go to the consultant who runs your appointment and nowhere else. We are not a lead broker and we do not resell contact data. If you would like to be removed entirely, text the word STOP to 385-600-5711 and you are out, including off the door route.
Who actually installs the battery?
A licensed, insured Utah contractor from our network — not us. You will get the company name, license number and their public review history before you commit to anything, and you are free to look them up and say no. We do not install and we do not sell equipment.
Do I need solar to get a battery?
No, and that is the change worth knowing about. A battery on its own has its own economics now, driven by when you draw power rather than by generating it. That is also the part we deliberately do not explain in detail on a website — it depends on your usage pattern, and getting it wrong on a web page helps nobody. It is roughly twenty minutes at your table with your own twelve months of usage in front of you.
How long does a battery last, and what happens after?
Current home batteries use lithium iron phosphate, which is built for daily charging and discharging over decades rather than the few years you would expect from a phone. They carry a manufacturer warranty, and the consultant brings the exact terms in writing. Financing runs twenty years; when the payment ends, the offset it was buying you does not.
What actually happens at the appointment?
A consultant pulls your last twelve months of usage, shows you what that bill becomes in ten and twenty years, and tells you whether a battery — or a roof, or HVAC, or windows — is even worth doing on your house. If the answer is no, you get told no. It takes about twenty minutes, there is no cost and no obligation, and everyone on the title needs to be there so nobody has to repeat the conversation later.
