Energy Risk Management built for data centers facilities running 2,000,000+ kWh/month in the ERCOT market. We turn your consistent extreme baseload load into a competitive bid across vetted Texas suppliers — typically a 27% cut, at no cost to you.
The ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) market operates independently from other U.S. power grids, creating unique opportunities for competitive pricing.
Open to competition since 2002, Texas gives data centers buyers more supplier choice than most ERCOT territories — but only if someone actively works it. Our energy risk management desk runs your consistent extreme baseload load through competing ERCOT offers across Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, turning Texas's position as the largest deregulated electricity market in the United States into leverage.

Market volatility protection and budget certainty through strategic hedging
With Extreme energy intensity and typical usage of 2,000,000+ kWh/month, data centers facilities require specialized procurement strategies.

Energy is rarely the headline cost for data centers businesses in Texas, but in the ERCOT market it is one of the most controllable. A consistent extreme baseload load of about 2,000,000+ kWh/month gives a skilled broker room to restructure how — and when — you buy power, and energy risk management is where that work happens.
Our energy risk management approach for Texas data centers clients starts with your actual interval data, not a generic rate sheet. We model the consistent extreme baseload curve, then put that load in front of vetted ERCOT suppliers so they compete on the terms that matter for colocation facilities, server farms, cloud computing centers, enterprise data centers — not just the headline price.
Where most data centers buyers in Texas sign whatever renewal lands on the desk, we run a structured energy risk management bid: multiple ERCOT suppliers, apples-to-apples terms, and a recommendation tied to how your consistent extreme baseload load actually behaves month to month.
