Markets · Electricity

Lower your commercial electricity rate. Guaranteed competitive bids.

We serve manufacturing, multi-site retail, commercial real estate, and hospitality businesses spending $2,000–$500K/month on electricity across all 17 deregulated US markets.

How it works

Deregulation means you can choose your supplier. We make them compete.

01
Utility still delivers

Your local utility (ComEd, PECO, ConEd, etc.) continues to maintain the wires and deliver power to your building. That relationship doesn't change. Your reliability is unaffected.

02
You choose the generator

In a deregulated state, the energy supply portion of your bill is open to competition. You pick which company generates and sells the electricity — and at what rate.

03
PDR makes suppliers compete

We submit your load profile to 90+ vetted suppliers simultaneously. They bid against each other in real time. The lowest bid wins your contract — and we charge no fees to your business.

Rate structures

The right contract structure depends on your risk tolerance and load profile.

Fixed rate
Locked price per kWh

You pay one price per kWh for the entire contract term — regardless of what markets do. Ideal for businesses that need budget certainty.

Best forRetail, hospitality, multi-family. Any business where energy is a fixed cost in the P&L.
Index / passthrough
Market rate, no markup

Your rate floats with the daily or monthly ISO settlement price. You take market risk but capture downside pricing when wholesale rates fall.

Best forIndustrial buyers with flexible load, active risk managers, or businesses during favorable market conditions.
Hybrid
Fixed base + float index

Lock a portion of your load at a fixed rate and leave the rest on index. Balances certainty against upside — common for larger commercial accounts.

Best forMulti-site operators with variable usage across locations. Allows strategic layering over time.
Block & index
Shape your baseload

Purchase fixed-price blocks for your predictable baseload; remaining volume floats at index. Common in PJM and MISO markets.

Best forManufacturing with predictable shift schedules. Separates commodity risk from load-shape risk.

Bill anatomy

Five line items on every commercial electric bill. Only one is negotiable — most people focus on the wrong one.

This is the supply charge — and it's the one we negotiate. Priced in cents per kWh or $/MWh. It represents the wholesale cost of the electrons plus the supplier's margin. This is where 12–28% savings come from when you switch from default utility supply to a competitive supplier.
Covers the high-voltage interstate grid (the big transmission lines managed by PJM, ERCOT, NYISO, etc.). Regulated by FERC — not negotiable. Some suppliers passthrough transmission at cost; others bundle it into their all-in rate. Ask which structure you're being quoted.
This is what you pay the local utility for the last-mile wires, poles, transformers, and meters that bring power to your building. It's regulated, set by the state Public Utilities Commission, and cannot be negotiated. You'll always pay this to your local utility regardless of who supplies your energy.
Capacity costs are set by annual ISO auctions (PJM RPM, ISO-NE ICAP) and reflect the charge for having generation standing by during peak demand periods. Suppliers pass these costs through at cost or bundle them. High-demand businesses with flexible load can reduce capacity costs through demand response enrollment.
State and local taxes, renewable portfolio standard surcharges, energy efficiency program fees, and utility-specific riders. These vary by state and utility. Not negotiable with suppliers — but misclassification (wrong rate tariff, wrong tax category) can result in overcharges. A PDR bill analysis identifies these.
