Until recently, local utilities generated electricity in their own plants and delivered it to customers on their own transmission grid. Legislatures in several states deregulated the electricity industry, de-coupling the generation from the delivery functions. As a result, consumers can shop around for the best price from merchant generators. That electricity is then delivered to the customer over the transmission lines of the local utility, which then bills the customer for both the electricity and delivery.

Purchasing energy from merchant vendors produces savings that range between 5-10%. As might be expected, shopping for electricity requires know-how and expertise to best match your needs with the right supplier. We have the experience to help you make a well-informed choice for your business.

Aggregation

In deregulated energy markets, customers can combine their accounts to create a larger buying pool. Any group of small businesses, such as car dealerships or laundromats can be aggregated to benefit from lower prices made possible by economies of scale.
