Manufacturing Energy Management in the Dayton Region
Manufacturing facilities in the Dayton Region run a 24/7 baseload with peak production hours load of roughly 500,000+ kWh/month on AES Ohio service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Manufacturing Load in Dayton Region
AES Ohio — still widely called Dayton Power & Light locally — serves the Dayton region in its own PJM transmission zone, DAY. Wright-Patterson and the research and advanced manufacturing base around it produce a distinctive commercial load: test facilities and labs with high instantaneous demand against modest total consumption, which is the worst possible combination on a demand-metered tariff. Low load factor is expensive both in the tariff and in a supplier bid. Where that shape can be flattened, it pays twice; where it cannot, the contract needs to be structured so the buyer is not paying a peaking premium on energy they never actually consume.
Manufacturing is one of the sectors that over-indexes in this territory — aerospace and defense research, advanced manufacturing, healthcare and higher education make up the bulk of commercial load here, so suppliers already understand the shape and price it competitively when it is presented properly. A 24/7 baseload with peak production hours profile at 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 Manufacturing Load Sits on AES Ohio
At 500,000+ kWh/month, most manufacturing sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| SGS — Small General Service | commercial accounts below the demand threshold |
| MGS — Medium General Service | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| PGS — Primary General 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.
