Technology Energy Management in the New York City
Technology facilities in the New York City run a extended hours with always-on equipment load of roughly 200,000-800,000 kWh/month on Con Edison service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Technology Load in New York City
Zone J is its own market. New York City is transmission-constrained, so wholesale energy, capacity and ancillary costs all clear well above the rest of the state — a Buffalo business and a Manhattan business on the same Con Edison-style tariff would still pay materially different amounts, and the difference is the zone. Capacity alone is a large enough line item in Zone J that how it is treated in a supply contract often matters more than the energy price. Con Edison remains the delivery utility whoever supplies you, and the delivery charge is separately regulated, which means an ESCO offer quoting only the supply portion is describing well under half your bill.
Technology is not the dominant sector in this territory, where commercial real estate, hospital systems, hospitality, food production and multifamily portfolios carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a technology load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A extended hours with always-on equipment profile at 200,000-800,000 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 Technology Load Sits on Con Edison
At 200,000-800,000 kWh/month, most technology sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| SC 2 — General Small | commercial accounts without demand metering |
| SC 9 — General Large | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| SC 9 Rate III / IV | large accounts on time-of-day and high-tension service |
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.
