Note the lack of trailing slash on the /energy. You need to do both
here, because the Redirect happens before Apache can do its content-
negotiation dance and figure out that the URL is bad. Technically, a
URL that doesn’t end in a filename extension or a trailing slash is
broken, because it is ambiguous.

if you google energychex you will see 2 w my site and you click on
the 1st - goes right there - click on the second (parnership) it
will go to a 404
any other suggestions for the second one?
Thanks

It’s normal for a file with a leading dot to be invisible. Most FTP
applications have a function which allows you to see these files when
you enable it. In Transmit, it’s called View/Show Hidden Files. See if
there is a checkbox or other preference in your file manager in cPanel
to allow this.
Where this could get you in trouble is if you don’t already know the
content of that .htaccess file. You might wipe out quite a lot of
directives set up by your hosting provider, among them the secure
folders settings you configured elsewhere. So always best to look with
x-ray goggles before you add a file like this.

the other one for the main page redirects wonderfully.
Is there anything else I can do to redirect the first one?
Thanks

Redirects at this level are very literal beasts. You can’t rely on the
normal Apache love-fest to redirect things that are almost but not
exactly what is in the request.
