Local Energy Advisory Firm Helping Businesses Navigate the Future of Power

Celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2024, Groton-based Fuse Energy has established itself as a comprehensive commercial energy advisory firm serving North Central Massachusetts. Co-Managing Partners Steve Janes and Tom DeFeudis lead the company with decades of combined experience, specializing in helping small businesses, commercial and industrial clients, and municipalities optimize their energy spending while maintaining environmental awareness.

DeFeudis brings over 15 years of experience leading business development teams for direct energy suppliers, serving both public and private sector customers. Janes complements this expertise with his background in international business advisory and development, including work on large-scale manufacturing and municipal projects. Together, they bring a team approach to commercial energy consulting, leveraging their extensive experience in domestic and international infrastructure to guide clients toward optimal energy choices.

“Fuse is a local firm with local roots,” explains Janes. “Our clients become valued partners as our relationship grows.” This partnership approach has yielded impressive results, with success stories ranging from helping a local nonprofit reduce their annual energy spend by 30% to saving a major Boston hospital over $300,000 annually on electricity costs.

What sets Fuse Energy apart is their holistic approach to energy management. Their comprehensive services include Electricity & Natural Gas Procurement, Demand Response, Community Solar programs, and EV Charging Stations. Beyond these core offerings, they help clients secure rebates, utility incentives, and recover overcharged taxes. This comprehensive service is particularly valuable to the manufacturing sector in North Central Massachusetts, where the company has found a strong entrepreneurial spirit.

Community involvement is central to Fuse Energy’s identity. The firm actively supports multiple nonprofits and community service organizations in the region. Both Managing Partners are active Freemasons and Rotarians, personally leading several fundraising events throughout the year. The company has also formed a meaningful partnership with the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, helping the organization optimize its own energy expenditure. “As Chamber President, I’ve seen firsthand how Fuse Energy’s expertise benefits our members,” says Roy Nascimento. “They helped us significantly reduce our own energy costs through their thorough analysis and understanding of the market. Their dedication to the North Central Massachusetts business community makes them a valued member and partner.”

Looking ahead, Fuse Energy is positioning itself at the intersection of several transformative trends. “The energy industry is both an important and exciting place to be in these times,” notes Janes. “Global electrification is at a rapid pace. Geopolitical issues are going to have an impact on natural gas in the near future while Artificial Intelligence will become one of the world’s largest consumers of energy.” The partners are particularly passionate about advancing renewable-energy development and reducing their clients’ carbon footprints. In this evolving landscape, Fuse Energy remains committed to helping clients navigate these uncharted waters with both financial and environmental considerations in mind.
