“exposure, engagement & advocacy ”
Member Access
Member access for partners is designed to provide tailored benefits and support to foster meaningful partnerships, collaboration, and mutual success within The Energy Portal’s ecosystem. By offering valuable resources and opportunities, TEP aims to create a vibrant and dynamic community where partners can thrive, contribute, and achieve their marketing, sales or research goals.
Community engagement for TEP partners is essential for fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and relationship building among TEP members. By actively participating and contributing to the community groups and forums, partners can maximize the value of their membership, expand their networks, and achieve their objectives within the context of the larger community ecosystem and their overall marketing, sales & research goals.
Partners contribute valuable content such as articles, blog posts, new tech, videos, or multimedia materials that provide value to other members and contribute to The Energy Portals goals of promoting the world’s shift to clean energy.
Company Exposure
TEP Partners can create their own Stories utilizing our DIY Storyboard where it will be published for all to see and available via your company profile or business listing page and available in the story archives..
All partners get an enhanced social media styled profile where they can share things like their logo, website, about us, social media links, phone number and more.
Upgraded partners get a complete and separate business listing that includes all of the above and more. Listings are searchable and provide more details including product features, insights, videos, podcasts, location map and more.
We have created a dedicated section within TEP to showcase our Expert companies, organizations and agencies prominently. This section includes partner profiles, logos, descriptions, and links to their technology, white papers, case studies, websites or social media channels, allowing community members to learn more about the partners and their offerings.
Beyond the collaborations we encourage our partners to seek out with members and other partners, we encourage partners to actively engage with community members through discussions, forums, and group chats. Partners can share insights, answer questions, and provide value-added contributions that demonstrate their expertise and build credibility within the community.
Partners have the opportunity to share or contribute special content throughout TEP, such as case studies, pitch decks, stories, classes or webinars. Company content is featured inside their listings to distinguish it from regular community-generated content while providing partners with exposure to the community’s audience, investors and agencies.
Select partner organizations or individuals are highlighted via integrated content, featured graphics, highlighted profiles and listings and podcast interviews within TEP. We also use multimedia formats such as videos, podcasts, or live streams to showcase partners’ expertise, initiatives, and contributions to the community during special events.
Data Access*
Provide demographic information, such as age, gender, income, education and location, as well as customer behaviors and interests. By knowing our members profile, partners can better understand how to target their audience and tailor their marketing efforts to meet their needs.
In addition to demographic information, our member personas include details about member behaviors and interests. This include information about clicks, shares, buying habits, social media use, hobbies and other clean energy interests. Understanding these behaviors and interests will help partners better target their marketing efforts and create more effective campaigns.
By incorporating gamification techniques, such as points, badges, levels, challenges, and rewards, TEP incentivizes members to take specific actions, such as participating in discussions, contributing content, attending events, or completing specific tasks like taking surveys and more.
By leveraging gamification features effectively, TEP Partners can enhance their engagement with the community, drive brand awareness, and foster meaningful connections with their target audience.
Funding Opportunities*
TEP creates dedicated crowdfunding campaigns within the community to showcase energy partners’ projects, initiatives, or products that require funding. Partners can set fundraising goals, provide project details, and offer rewards or incentives to community members who contribute to the campaign.
TEPs Venture Capital matching program is a private program offered to select partners. A TEP Advocate will work with the funder to identify companies and projects that meet their preset guidelines, walk them through a list of qualifying questions then submit their information to the VC.
Along with working with VCs we encourage private investors who have interest in clean energy companies to join TEP. If interest is shown, investors can seek out a relationship with the company of interest.
TEP actively seeks to provide partners with available grants, state, local and national funds that are available for energy partners in a variety of disciplines. These are typically provides by governments but many large foundations are also getting more heavily involved in clean energy funding.
