360 Energy History

It all started in 1995.

360 Energy was founded in 1995, at a time when many organizations had far less access to the energy data needed to make informed decisions. Early work in hourly energy data, analysis, education, and procurement support helped shape the company’s approach: combining better information with better decision-making to improve outcomes for energy-intensive organizations.

Over time, that work expanded into broader advisory services, training, software, reporting, and sector-specific tools designed to help clients manage energy cost, performance, and risk more effectively.
