Constellation Alternative | Nectar

While Constellation focuses on sourcing and clean energy, it lacks advanced utility data management. Nectar, by contrast, streamlines your entire utility lifecycle—from data ingestion to audits and budgeting—giving you a transparent, cost-optimized view of operations and stronger compliance. Plus, Nectar integrates directly with reporting platforms and generates insights for energy efficiency that go beyond basic consumption metrics.

Challenge

Billing data isn’t centralized or auditable.

Solution

Automatically ingests and stores every utility bill, creating a fully auditable history that Constellation doesn’t provide.

Challenge

Limited budget and forecast visibility across sites.

Solution

Nectar surfaces forecasts based on usage, trends, and rates, so you get precise, site-level budgeting—unlike Constellation’s high-level dashboards.

Challenge

No advanced billing anomaly detection.

Solution

Every invoice is automatically audited against contracts and historical data, ensuring errors are flagged and disputed—saving you money.

Plan months before price changes

Nectar delivers end-to-end financial and usage intelligence with automated budgeting, accurate forecasts, and real-time analytics for power usage and spend. By streamlining payments, auditing bills, and highlighting savings opportunities, Nectar gives facility managers the tools to stay ahead of costs and make informed, impactful decisions.

Automated Budgeting & Forecasting

Nectar analyzes past usage, real-time trends, and rate changes to deliver accurate cost insights per site, while Constellation lacks that granular level of forecasting.

Multi-Site Rollups and Comparisons

Nectar’s dashboards let you view and compare budgets, forecasts, and variances across all locations, unlike Constellation’s single-stream reporting.

Bill Auditing & Correction Tools

Nectar reviews every bill for overcharges and errors—then flags them for dispute—whereas Constellation does not include embedded bill auditing.

Power Usage Analytics

Get in-depth insights into your facility’s energy consumption patterns, identify peak usage times, and spot inefficiencies—empowering smarter decisions for cost control and operational efficiency.

Cost Optimization Insights

Nectar highlights opportunities to reduce spend, from better rate selection to usage adjustments, helping you maximize value across your facilities.
