Welcome to Nectar — the platform that takes the headache out of utility data. If you’ve ever spent hours logging into utility websites one by one, downloading PDF bills, and manually typing numbers into spreadsheets, you know the pain. Nectar does all of that for you. Automatically. Every week. No more copy-pasting, no more forgotten logins, no more “I’ll get to that bill later.” Whether you manage energy data for a handful of buildings or thousands of client sites across the country, Nectar connects to utility portals, downloads the bills, reads them with AI, and delivers clean, structured data — ready for your sustainability reports, your carbon accounting platform, or wherever else it needs to go. This documentation is split into two tracks:
  • Knowledge Base for platform users and operators.
  • Developer Guide for API integrations, webhooks, and embedded workflows.

Where should I start?

It depends on what you’re trying to do. Not everyone uses Nectar the same way, and that’s by design. Here’s a quick guide based on what you’re looking to accomplish right now:
If you’re thinking…Start here
”I’m brand new to Nectar and want to understand the basics.”Getting Started — a plain-language overview of what Nectar does, how it organizes your data, and how to find your way around.
”I’m migrating from another platform or workflow.”Migration guides — provider-specific guides for ENGIE, Schneider Electric, Arcadia, EnergyCAP, spreadsheets, and more.
”I need to connect a utility account so Nectar can start pulling bills.”Connections — step-by-step instructions for setting up your first connection, with detailed explanations of every configuration option.
”I have bills to upload or data to enter by hand.”Uploads — how to get data into Nectar when an automatic connection isn’t available or practical.
”I need my client to connect their own utility account.”Magic Links — send a secure link so your client can connect their account without needing a Nectar login.
”I need to export data for a sustainability report or a client deliverable.”Exporting Data — how to pull data out of Nectar in the format you need, including CSV downloads and platform integrations.
”I’m a developer integrating Nectar into our own platform.”Start with For developers, then use the Developer guide, then the API Reference.
If you’re still not sure, Getting Started is always a good first stop. It explains the fundamentals in about ten minutes of reading.

What can Nectar do for you?

Here’s a quick summary of the main things people use Nectar for every day:
  • Automated bill collection — Connect a utility account once and Nectar checks it weekly, downloading and reading new bills without any manual effort. No more logging into utility websites.
  • Bill uploads — For utilities without online portals, or when you have old paper bills, upload PDF or image files and Nectar’s AI extracts the data automatically.
  • Data exports — Pull clean usage and cost data as CSV files, or push directly to platforms like Energy Star, Watershed, Sphera, and others.
  • Analytics — Visualize consumption trends, compare time periods, and break down costs by building, utility type, or date range.
  • Data quality monitoring — Nectar flags missing data, anomalies, and issues that need your attention, so nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Magic links — Send your clients a secure link so they can connect their own utility accounts without needing a Nectar login or sharing credentials with you.
  • API integration — Build utility data collection directly into your own platform using Nectar’s REST API. Supports webhooks for real-time notifications.

How teams typically use Nectar

Energy consultants and brokers use Nectar to manage utility data for dozens or hundreds of client accounts. Instead of chasing clients for bills every month, they connect the accounts once and the data flows automatically. Reports that used to take days now take minutes. Sustainability and carbon accounting teams pipe Nectar data into their emissions calculations and ESG reports. Clean, structured consumption data means fewer errors and faster audit turnaround. Facility managers and operations teams track energy usage across building portfolios, spot billing anomalies, and monitor cost trends — all from one dashboard instead of twenty utility websites. No matter how you use Nectar, the goal is the same: spend less time collecting data and more time acting on it.

Yes. Security is a top priority at Nectar. The platform holds SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certifications, monitored continuously through Vanta. All data is encrypted both in transit (when moving between your browser and Nectar’s servers) and at rest (when stored). Utility credentials are stored using AES-128 encryption and are never visible to other users — not even Nectar staff. Contact [email protected] to request the latest security report.
Nectar works best in modern browsers — Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. We recommend keeping your browser up to date for the best experience. Internet Explorer is not supported.

There isn’t a dedicated mobile app at this time, but the Nectar platform is fully accessible from any mobile browser — just navigate to dash.nectarclimate.com on your phone or tablet. The dashboard, data views, and magic links all work on mobile devices. Most day-to-day work like creating connections and reviewing data is easier on a desktop or laptop, but checking statuses, scanning the issues list, and sharing magic links works great on the go.
Nectar ships updates regularly — typically multiple times per month. New features, improvements, and fixes are documented in the Changelog. Updates happen seamlessly in the background; you never need to install anything.
Nectar covers the major utility categories: electricity, natural gas, water, waste, fuel, solar, and district (steam, chilled water, hot water). If your utility type isn’t listed, reach out to [email protected] — the team is always expanding coverage.
Yes. Nectar is designed for organizations that manage utility data across many clients. Each client can be set up as a separate company with its own sites, connections, and data. You see everything from one dashboard, and you can control which team members have access to which companies.
