“When we first engaged Brilliant Source Energy, we expected help managing our electricity contracts. What we got was a true energy partner who has transformed how we think aboutand spend onenergy across our operations.
Over the years, Dawn and her team have delivered results that go far beyond procurement. They upgraded our facilities to LED lighting, implemented power quality solutions to protect our equipment, and conducted thorough billing audits that uncovered significant overpayments we never would have caught on our own.
Most recently, Brilliant Source facilitated a comprehensive site assessment that qualified us for substantial grant funding. Now they’re proposing a solar installation for our Illinois facility that, between incentives, rebates, and grants, will essentially pay for itselfand then some.
What sets Brilliant Source apart is their holistic approach. They don’t just negotiate rates; they look at every angle to reduce costs and improve efficiency. They’ve become an extension of our team, and the value they’ve delivered has far exceeded our expectations.
We recommend Brilliant Source Energy without hesitation to any organization looking for more than a broker- they’re strategic partners who genuinely care about your bottom line.”

“Dawn at Brilliant Source Energy provided us with a holistic approach to our energy usage philosophy. She provided us with easy to understand analysis with usueful insights explaining the complexity of the energy, why we are paying what we are paying, what we could be paying, and even lended a hand with our internal budget projections. Her knowledge of the space is bar none… we were at +12 cents per kWh and, by relying on Dawn & BSE, our power rate dropped to sub-4.5 cents within 60-90 days…The benefits we’ve experienced have exceeded all of our expectations. I would highly recommend Dawn & Brilliant Source Energy to anyone who likes to save money and likes hassle-free solutions in the industry.”

“I have been working with Dawn since locating my business in Cleveland. Her and her team have helped us reduce costs and provide added value to our tenants as resource for those who pay their own electric bills across 450,000 sq. ft. of office, retail and residential rental properties in downtown Cleveland. I would highly recommend this company to anyone trying to get their utility costs under control. Big thumbs up from me.”
