This highly seasonal with weather dependency shape is the lever for natural gas 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.

Our natural gas procurement approach for Washington D.C. agriculture clients starts with your actual interval data, not a generic rate sheet. We model the highly seasonal with weather dependency curve, then put that load in front of vetted PJM suppliers so they compete on the terms that matter for farms, greenhouses, processing plants, storage facilities, cultivation operations — not just the headline price.
Where most agriculture buyers in Washington D.C. sign whatever renewal lands on the desk, we run a structured natural gas procurement bid: multiple PJM suppliers, apples-to-apples terms, and a recommendation tied to how your highly seasonal with weather dependency load actually behaves month to month.
