A New Standard

OUR PROMISE TO CUSTOMERS
One Energy is unique to the current wind industry. We are engineers, experimenters, financiers, developers, communicators, contractors, resellers, and researchers – but far more fundamentally, we are integrators. We combine the necessary skills, expertise, and services to make some of the most advanced technology in the world available to businesses, and we do it in a manner unlike anything the industry has seen before. We believe in making wind simple, so we make this promise to our customers.

SAFETY AND QUALITY ARE ALWAYS FIRST

We set the highest standards possible for safety and quality. We enable our employees, customers, and suppliers to live up to them – and then we hold them accountable. We have a written safety plan and make sure everyone who works for us understands and follows it. We make sure we have the best training possible. We never compromise on quality. The customer is making a 20-year investment; our quality must be beyond reproach. There will be mistakes, but they need to be corrected and openly acknowledged, then used as a learning tool so we are constantly improving.

BE PROFESSORS, NOT SALESMEN

​Salesmen are there to sell a product. We conduct ourselves as professors who are here to teach the customer about wind energy and offer them objective, verifiable information. If wind energy is right in a particular location, it will sell itself. We give customers the whole truth and separate opinions from verifiable facts and standards.

MAKE THE CUSTOMERS SMARTER THAN THE COMPETITION’S EXPERTST
​When we talk to our customers, the goal is to provide all information in a manner that helps customers understand it well enough to make an educated decision about wind energy. Our customers should be so confident in the reasoning and facts behind their decision, they cannot be tricked or manipulated by the “expert salesmen” of our competitors. Our customers should expect and demand a high standard and we encourage our customers to talk to our competition. As long as we continue to set a new standard in the industry, our customers will return to us after talking to the competition, confident they are making the right decision.
WORK WITH MANUFACTURERS TO GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS THE BEST PRODUCTS POSSIBLE
Our loyalty is to our customers and the industry, not to the manufacturers. We challenge our suppliers to deliver the best product possible. If they can’t, we find a new supplier. The suppliers who are setting high safety, quality, and performance standards will welcome this challenge. We constantly work with manufacturers to improve their product, so we can always provide better options for our customers. We also understand there is not a one-size-fits-all turbine and the manufacturer of the best 1.5 MW turbine may not have the best 2.5 MW turbine.
MAKE ENERGY HASSLE-FREE
The largest obstacle for some companies who want to pursue on-site generation wind energy for their facility is all the regulations, permitting, interconnection agreements, contracts, and other issues make the project more of a hassle than it is worth. We offer true one-stop solutions for our customers. We handle all the paperwork and remove all the hassle. All our customers have to do is decide if the project works for them and then tell us to make it happen. Our customers have enough to do already; we will take care of all of the steps to complete their wind project.
BE AVAILABLE AND BE HONEST

Our customers are busy business people involved in many different industries. They may not have time to talk about the project from 9-5, Monday through Friday. We need to be available early mornings, late evenings, and weekends. When our customers have the time to talk with us, we will make the time to talk with them. Our customers should not hesitate to call us at 7 p.m. on a Saturday. We also give our customers the respect of being honest. Sometimes the truth may not be the answer they want to hear, but it is always what they deserve to hear.

CHARGE A FAIR PRICE AND GET PAID FOR OUR WORK
This industry is riddled with companies making ridiculous profits at the expense of their customers. Maybe it is because they are only doing one or two projects a year, or maybe it is because they are greedy. It doesn’t matter, because we will not do that. Yes, we are in this business to make money. In most cases we make money on both the sale of the turbine and the installation. We wouldn’t be able to provide our services if we weren’t making money. That being said, we will do enough installations in a year that this is not a short-term game for us. If we price-gouge on one project, we are hurting our long-term profitability because we are hurting the industry. Depending on the risk and specifics of the project, our margins will vary, but they will always be fair. Because we charge a fair price, we expect to be paid in a timely manner for our work. When the customer owes us a payment, we expect to get it. If we provide leniency in this arena, then we are not being fair to our other customers.
MAKE DECISIONS FOR THE LONG TERM
​It is easy to make money today. We could lie, cheat, manipulate, sell a substandard product, or hide a defect. That is not what we are about. We are here to help companies better manage their business by controlling the cost of energy. We are here to help businesses use utility-scale wind turbines to become more competitive and enable flexibility to focus on long-term goals. We measure every decision based on what will be best for the long-term future of the customer and the industry.
NEVER SETTLE FOR THE INDUSTRY STANDARD

​The first reality is that there is no industry standard. Everyone in the utility-scale wind industry is trying to do things their own way and everyone has their own “truths” about the way things should be done. There are very few published standards for retail wind turbines and most of them were written by people with a financial interest in them being written a certain way. Yes, one should read the standards, but treat them as minimums. We need to deliver a product that will stand up to commercial standards where millions of dollars are at stake. We need to deliver a product that becomes a standard in itself.

CHALLENGE EVERYTHING
We don’t just think outside the box, we think outside the room the box is in. When someone tells us something, we challenge it. When someone quotes a standard, we ask to see it. When someone tells us something can’t be done, we don’t accept it. We expect our customers to do the same with us. The only way our customers can truly understand the difference between us and the competition is to challenge both us and them.
