Warehouse & Logistics Energy Management in the Finger Lakes
Warehouse & Logistics facilities in the Finger Lakes run a 24/7 operations with shift-based peaks load of roughly 400,000-1,500,000 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.
Warehouse & Logistics 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.
Warehouse & Logistics is not the dominant sector in this territory, where optics and imaging, higher education, healthcare systems and food and beverage production carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a warehouse & logistics load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A 24/7 operations with shift-based peaks profile at 400,000-1,500,000 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 Warehouse & Logistics Load Sits on RG&E
At 400,000-1,500,000 kWh/month, most warehouse & logistics 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.
