Strategic electricity contract negotiation and supplier selection to secure the best rates
With High energy intensity and typical usage of 150,000-600,000 kWh/month, agriculture facilities require specialized procurement strategies.
This is where a broker earns out. Our PJM supplier relationships let us negotiate electricity procurement terms around this exact agriculture constraint.
In the PJM market, our electricity procurement work targets this directly — restructuring how your agriculture load is priced rather than just shopping the headline rate.
Our Ohio team treats this as a procurement problem, not a utility one — electricity procurement structured to your highly seasonal with weather dependency profile takes it off the table.

This highly seasonal with weather dependency shape is the lever for electricity procurement in the PJM market: it dictates which hours cost you most and which contract structure neutralizes them. We price your 150,000-600,000 kWh/month against it rather than against a generic agriculture average.
Agriculture facilities in Ohio run on a highly seasonal with weather dependency pattern that the PJM market prices aggressively. At 150,000-600,000 kWh/month, a fraction of a cent per kWh compounds into real money, which is why agriculture owners across Ohio treat electricity procurement as a financial decision, not a utility errand.
Generic energy deals leave money on the table for agriculture businesses. Our electricity procurement process for Ohio facilities aligns contract timing and structure to your highly seasonal with weather dependency usage, capturing PJM market windows a once-every-few-years buyer never sees.
Contract timing is half the battle. For agriculture operations on a highly seasonal with weather dependency profile, we track PJM forward curves and move your electricity procurement when the market — not your expiry date — is in your favor, which is where the bulk of the highly seasonal with weather dependency savings tends to hide.
In PJM, capacity and demand charges shift seasonally — for a highly seasonal with weather dependency agriculture load, locking terms ahead of peak season is often where the largest electricity procurement savings come from.
