Common Charge unites people, businesses, and advocates to flip the switch on a fairer energy future. One where people hold the power, bills shrink, and the grid grows stronger.
The energy system is outdated, and we’re ready for a change.
The way we power our lives is changing fast. Electricity demand is rising, technology is advancing, and consumers are left carrying the cost of an outdated system. It’s time to reimagine what energy can do for families, businesses, and the grid we all share.
Outdated power is holding us back.
The current energy system is broken. It was never designed for how we live today. Bills keep climbing, outages hit harder. And people across the country continue to face outdated models that block progress, leaving families and businesses with fewer choices and higher costs. It doesn’t have to stay this way. For a system long overdue for change, the answer is simple.
The solution we need is already here.
Millions of distributed assets like smart appliances, solar panels, vehicles, and batteries are in homes and businesses nationwide. These tools are proven, plugged in, and ready to connect. Unlocking their full potential means lower bills, more control, and added power for the grid when it’s needed most. It’s time for policy to catch up. And for awareness to grow.
Energy that works for everyone.
When every solution is switched on, the whole system gets stronger. Families see lower bills and fewer outages. Consumers finally get a say in how they power their lives. Businesses gain resilience that protects against market volatility and grid stress. And Americans step into an energy future that is reliable, fair, and built for people—not outdated power structures.
A better energy system is already here. Families, businesses, and innovators across the country tell a story of affordability, reliability, and real choice for everyone—not in some distant future, but happening today.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to save money while also helping the planet. At first, I thought it was too good to be true, but I was happy it was the real deal.”
They’re built for the next generation of power. One that acknowledges that the world is changing. Solutions need to change, too. Faster, more reliable, more affordable options. That put the power (literally) in the people’s hands
It’s time for a new era of energy. One in which innovation is supported. Grid reliability is emphasized. Affordability is amplified. And people have options to explore.
We have one goal: to give Americans more freedom and autonomy in their energy solutions. So everyone benefits. Energy makes the world go around. So, it’s time for more energy solutions to go around.
