is a free energy, water and waste benchmarking tool
For Cultivators
Benchmark my performance
“As we take the lessons learned from our first cultivation site, Eco Firma Farms, and apply them to a large and growing network of cultivation assets across multiple states and countries, the PowerScore is the only tool that enables me to keep a handle on the relative performance of my portfolio. It’s essential for profitability tracking.”
Jesse Peters, Mantis Growth Investments
For Cultivators
Report to my government
The Cannabis PowerScore is specified by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission as an approved form and manner for reporting energy and water performance. Massachusetts Dept. of Energy Resources funded RII to upgrade the PowerScore to serve the Commonwealth’s interests in protecting natural resources.

Utilities
Strategize how to serve cultivation customers
RII recently launched a Utility Working Group, in partnership with leading utilities and their implementation partners. The group is determining best practices on a number of issues, including how to identify and evaluate reliable aggregate data. The Cannabis PowerScore is being contemplated as a tool for understanding energy use in cultivation and extraction facilities, verifying the savings potential of technologies and supporting outreach to cultivation customers.
