Retail facilities in Texas run on a high during business hours, lower overnight pattern that the ERCOT market prices aggressively.

Contract timing is half the battle. For retail operations on a high during business hours, lower overnight profile, we track ERCOT forward curves and move your multi-site energy management when the market — not your expiry date — is in your favor, which is where the bulk of the high during business hours, lower overnight savings tends to hide.
