Healthcare Energy Management in the Finger Lakes
Healthcare facilities in the Finger Lakes run a constant high load with minimal fluctuation load of roughly 800,000+ kWh/month on RG&E service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Healthcare Load in Finger Lakes
Rochester is served by RG&E, an Avangrid company, in NYISO Zone B — a distinct utility and a distinct zone from the National Grid territories on either side. The optics, imaging and precision manufacturing base left behind by Kodak and Bausch & Lomb produces clean-room and process load that is continuous and tightly temperature-controlled. Zone B prices sit near the low end of the state, close to Zone A, and well below anything downstate. RG&E's commercial schedules differ from National Grid's in their demand thresholds, which is where accounts in Rochester most often turn out to be misclassified.
Healthcare is one of the sectors that over-indexes in this territory — optics and imaging, higher education, healthcare systems and food and beverage production make up the bulk of commercial load here, so suppliers already understand the shape and price it competitively when it is presented properly. A constant high load with minimal fluctuation profile at 800,000+ 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 Healthcare Load Sits on RG&E
At 800,000+ kWh/month, most healthcare sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| SC 2 — General Service | small commercial accounts |
| SC 8 — Large General Service | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| SC 3 — Primary Service | large facilities at primary voltage |
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.
