Commercial Electricity
Why Businesses Should Use a Commercial Electric Consultant Like Strategic Energy
In today’s deregulated energy market, commercial electricity prices can fluctuate dramatically. Businesses that once had no choice but to buy power from their local utility now have the freedom to choose from multiple electricity suppliers. This freedom brings opportunity but also complexity. That’s where energy consultants like Strategic Energy come in, helping companies compare supplier rates, lock in the best deals, and save thousands annually on electricity costs.
Understanding Commercial Electricity Deregulation
What Is Deregulation?
Electricity deregulation allows businesses to purchase the supply portion of their energy generation and transmission from competitive suppliers instead of being locked into one local utility. The local utility still delivers the electricity and maintains the power lines, but you can now shop around for the best price on the actual energy you use.
Which States Are Deregulated?
Many U.S. states have embraced deregulation for commercial electricity, including:
Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, and others.
In these states, businesses can work with consultants like Strategic Energy to compare multiple electricity suppliers in one simple process.
Why Businesses Should Compare Electricity Suppliers
1. Lower Energy Costs
Electricity rates can vary by 10–40% between suppliers. Strategic Energy compares offers from dozens of suppliers across deregulated states to find the most competitive rates for your usage profile, contract term, and risk tolerance.
2. Rate Protection and Budget Stability
By locking in a fixed rate through a consultant, your business protects itself against volatile market swings. This helps maintain predictable utility costs crucial for budgeting and financial planning.
