Brian Webster · Webster Labs · Tulsa, Oklahoma

Clear answers on energy, software, and operations.

Sturgeon co-founder Brian Webster now consults through Webster Labs. He helps Oklahoma businesses, energy developers, and investors make sound decisions about energy projects, software systems, and how their operations run.

Where Brian can help

Twenty years spent in both software and energy. He can check the physics and the code behind a claim, and the economics of the business around it.

Energy development & storage

Interconnection screening, site origination, and behind-the-meter solar, battery, and generator economics in SPP and PSO territory: demand charges, backup duration, payback and NPV, all modeled from your own interval data.

Technical & commercial diligence

For investors and family offices: physics-level checks of technology claims, LCOE and unit-economics models, and consistency checks on financial models, written up quickly and in plain language.

Software & cloud

Full-stack development since 2006, including production AWS platforms, APIs designed for billions of requests a day, e-commerce systems, and ERP integration. Brian builds the system or helps you choose who should.

Operations & decision analytics

Pulling scattered operational data into the views owners actually need, and simplifying the systems behind it. Clients range from a national e-commerce manufacturer to a regional ready-mix concrete producer.

A track record you can check

Founder or CTO of two technology companies, and co-founder of a utility-scale solar and battery-storage developer.

Notes on Oklahoma energy

Brian writes about the parts of Oklahoma's energy market that cost businesses real money.

  • PSO's 2026 rate case and why it nearly doubled large-power demand chargesRate design, non-24/7 facilities, and what your interval data reveals
  • How behind-the-meter batteries defeat demand ratchetsWhy one 30-minute summer peak can raise your bill for the next 12 months

Whitepapers and short video briefings on energy development in Oklahoma are on the way.

Want them when they're published, or have a question about your own facility's bill?
