This meal period peaks with constant refrigeration baseload shape is the lever for natural gas procurement in the ISO-NE market: it dictates which hours cost you most and which contract structure neutralizes them.

We carry your 50,000-200,000 kWh/month load to the ISO-NE market repeatedly, not once, so renewals stay competitive instead of drifting back toward the utility default.
