Introduction

Paragon was founded by Joe Kelly in 1996 as a measurement and verification company. Our expertise is focused on utility consulting and enables us to be a true independent resource. As an independent resource, we provide recommendations based on fact and data, as opposed to expectations. We are committed to giving clients advice and deliverables that will stand up to scrutiny. Most of Paragon’s staff worked in the utility industry before joining the company. We are seasoned professionals and have a keen understanding of the utility environment. This means we need less direction and can spend more time working for you.

Core utility knowledge

One key difference is that Paragon's staff is made up of professionals that have worked for utilities. We have been there, and we understand the competing pressures for time, money and staff. Paragon brings over 200 years experience, and 120 of that experience is as utility company employees. We understand the utility industry. We have experienced many of the problems, frustrations, and business issues facing the industry.

Responsive, Effective, Reliable service

Our utility background and work ethic enables us to start new jobs quickly and without a lot of direction. We know the right questions to ask to get to the core issues and keep projects moving. When task changes are required, we are able to make them with a simple e-mail from the utility project manager. Our clients’ needs are our priority!

Value

We provide value for your investment by delivering results in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We focus on our client’s goals and this is why so many of our customers ask us to work with them again and again. Our measure of success is not winning new contracts, but rather having clients asking to work with us again and enthusiastically recommending us to others.
