Load curtailment programs that pay you to reduce usage during peak periods
With Medium energy intensity and typical usage of 300,000-1,000,000 kWh/month, education facilities require specialized procurement strategies.
Our Ohio team treats this as a procurement problem, not a utility one — demand response programs structured to your academic calendar-driven fluctuations profile takes it off the table.
This is where a broker earns out. Our PJM supplier relationships let us negotiate demand response programs terms around this exact education constraint.
In the PJM market, our demand response programs work targets this directly — restructuring how your education load is priced rather than just shopping the headline rate.

We model the academic calendar-driven fluctuations curve, then put that load in front of vetted PJM suppliers so they compete on the terms that matter for universities, K-12 schools, research facilities, administrative buildings — not just the headline price.
Where most education buyers in Ohio sign whatever renewal lands on the desk, we run a structured demand response programs bid: multiple PJM suppliers, apples-to-apples terms, and a recommendation tied to how your academic calendar-driven fluctuations load actually behaves month to month.
