What critics are saying

  • SEEL depends on utility contracts; losing DTE or other anchors would crush revenue.
  • Crowded energy-efficiency implementation firms like Donovan Energy and AtSite squeeze pricing and talent.
  • If grant-writing workshops stall, SEEL risks becoming a commodity contractor with weak differentiation.

  • Its Learning Institute adds workforce training and grant-writing services beyond core implementation.
