Your business hours concentration with some 24/7 operations load, your dealerships, service centers, body shops, parts warehouses, and current ISO-NE conditions all feed the contract structure — fixed, indexed, or block-and-index — that delivers the lowest defensible cost.
Because suppliers compensate us, our budget forecasting incentive in Maine is purely to drive your automotive rate down. We carry your 80,000-300,000 kWh/month load to the ISO-NE market repeatedly, not once, so renewals stay competitive instead of drifting back toward the utility default.
