We model the high during business hours, lower overnight curve, then put that load in front of vetted PJM suppliers so they compete on the terms that matter for stores, shopping centers, malls, outlets, boutiques — not just the headline price.
Where most retail buyers in Washington D.C. sign whatever renewal lands on the desk, we run a structured energy strategy development bid: multiple PJM suppliers, apples-to-apples terms, and a recommendation tied to how your high during business hours, lower overnight load actually behaves month to month.
