Retail Energy Management in the South Coast
Retail facilities in the South Coast run a high during business hours, lower overnight load of roughly 100,000-500,000 kWh/month on Eversource service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Retail Load in South Coast
New Bedford is the highest-value fishing port in the United States, and its commercial load reflects that: seafood processing and cold storage running continuous refrigeration, with sharp seasonal swings around the scallop and groundfish seasons. It has also become the staging harbour for Northeast offshore wind, adding industrial and port load. Eversource serves the South Coast in the SEMA zone. Continuous refrigeration against seasonal throughput is the classic case for block-and-index — a fixed block sized to the freezer baseload, with seasonal volume left to index rather than hedged at a premium.
Retail is not the dominant sector in this territory, where commercial fishing and seafood processing, offshore wind staging, textiles and healthcare carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a retail load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A high during business hours, lower overnight profile at 100,000-500,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and the contract structure follows from it: fixed, indexed, or block-and-index, sized to your actual baseload rather than to a nameplate figure.
Where Retail Load Sits on Eversource
At 100,000-500,000 kWh/month, most retail sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| G-1 — General Service | small commercial accounts |
| G-2 — General Service Demand | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| G-3 — Large General Service | large commercial and industrial load |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
