Why does the ISO-NE market matter for manufacturing energy buying in Western Massachusetts, MA?
ISO New England serves Massachusetts with some of the highest electricity prices in the continental U.S., creating significant savings opportunities.

Is contract negotiation worth it for our load profile?
A 24/7 baseload with peak production hours load of about 500,000+ kWh/month is large enough that even modest rate improvements compound. We quantify it against your bills first, free, so the decision rests on your numbers.
What contract structure fits a manufacturing load in the ISO-NE market?
It depends on how much ISO-NE price risk your manufacturing operation can absorb.

Earlier than most do. Starting 6 to 12 months before your contract expires lets us time your contract negotiation to favorable ISO-NE conditions rather than negotiating under deadline pressure — which is when manufacturing buyers overpay.
