Automotive parts manufacturer eliminates $140K in hidden capacity costs and enrolls in PJM ELRP

A PECO-territory manufacturer with 4.2 MW peak demand had been on a fixed-rate supply contract for three years. Their broker had never conducted a PLC tag analysis or discussed capacity cost exposure. After the 2024 BRA cleared at $270/MW-day, they were facing a $147,000 annual capacity cost increase with no mitigation strategy in place.

Their existing fixed contract included an uncapped capacity pass-through clause — meaning the 800% BRA price increase passed directly to their bill starting June 2025. Additionally, their PLC tag had grown 22% over three years due to poor load management during summer peak hours. No one had told them.

  • Conducted a full 15-minute interval data analysis to identify peak exposure windows
  • Implemented a proactive 5CP curtailment protocol targeting August peak hours
  • Renegotiated supply contract with capacity cost cap and cleaner pass-through language
  • Enrolled 800 kW of interruptible load in PJM ELRP for capacity payment revenue

Six-building office portfolio cuts blended rate 2.3¢/kWh and generates $47K in demand response revenue

A PSE&G-territory commercial property group managing 380,000 sq ft across six office buildings had negotiated their own supply contracts directly with a single supplier. They were paying 11.4¢/kWh on a 12-month fixed contract with no capacity optimization and no demand response enrollment.

The portfolio's peak load occurred during predictable business hours, making it an ideal demand response candidate — but no one had modeled the portfolio as a combined asset. Individual building contracts were expiring at different times, making coordinated strategy difficult without a dedicated energy manager.

  • Synchronized all six contract renewal dates into a single portfolio bid event
  • Ran a 30-supplier competitive bid, normalizing all offers on a fully-loaded basis
  • Structured a 24-month fixed contract at 9.1¢/kWh across the portfolio
  • Enrolled two highest-load buildings in PJM ELRP with combined 350 kW commitment

Regional hospital system uses Block & Index to hedge winter risk and enrolls in ISO-NE FCM

A three-facility Eversource-territory health system with combined 6.8 MW demand had just auto-renewed a full fixed-rate contract at an above-market rate. Their CFO was concerned about ISO-NE winter reliability risk following two consecutive winters with severe price spikes but had no framework for evaluating procurement alternatives.

Hospitals cannot curtail load during emergencies, which complicated demand response eligibility. The existing full-fixed contract included above-market capacity adders and provided no transparency on forward cost exposure. ISO-NE's Forward Capacity Market had gone largely unexamined by their previous broker.

  • Identified a material change clause allowing early exit from the existing contract
  • Structured a Block & Index contract: 75% fixed base, 25% index for non-clinical load
  • Secured winter peak hedge to cap ISO-NE spike exposure through April
  • Enrolled non-critical auxiliary systems in ISO-NE FCM as a passive capacity resource

Maryland municipality reduces energy spend 19% and achieves full board-level reporting visibility

A Pepco-territory municipal government managing 14 public facilities — including a community center, public works complex, and administrative buildings — had procured energy through a state aggregation program for seven years. When the program contract expired, their finance team had no framework for evaluating competitive supply options.

Public entities face unique procurement constraints including solicitation requirements, council approval timelines, and budget cycle alignment. The municipality had never received a PLC tag analysis or demand response screening. Their existing reporting consisted of a monthly invoice with no variance analysis or forward exposure modeling.

  • Mapped all 14 accounts by utility, load shape, and capacity tag exposure
  • Structured a competitive bid compliant with Maryland procurement requirements
  • Negotiated a 36-month fixed contract with transparency on all non-bypassable charges
  • Delivered monthly budget-to-actual reporting and quarterly forward exposure briefings

University system generates $34K in passive FCM revenue and restructures four-building procurement strategy

A National Grid-territory university with four buildings — a main academic hall, dormitory complex, athletic facility, and administrative center — was procuring energy individually per building with no coordinated strategy. Contracts were different lengths, different structures, and demand response had never been evaluated.

The dormitory and athletic facility had highly variable load shapes driven by academic calendar cycles, making full-fixed contracts inefficient. The VP of Operations had been advocating for a consolidated energy strategy for two years but lacked the market data to build a business case for the board.

  • Modeled 15-minute interval data across all four buildings to identify load shape profiles
  • Recommended Block & Index for the dormitory (65% fixed) to capture summer index savings
  • Structured full-fixed contracts for academic and administrative buildings
  • Enrolled athletic facility and dormitory in ISO-NE FCM as demand response resources

Food manufacturer avoids $85K capacity cost surge with proactive PLC reduction and Index procurement

An AEP Ohio-territory food and beverage manufacturer with 3.1 MW peak demand had auto-renewed a full-fixed contract just before the 2024 BRA results were published. When the 800% capacity price increase was announced, their CFO contacted us to understand their exposure — and whether anything could be done mid-contract.

The manufacturer operated 24/7 with load that peaked during afternoon production runs — directly overlapping with PJM coincident peak hours. Their existing contract had uncapped capacity pass-throughs and they had no PLC curtailment protocol. The exposure from the new BRA pricing was estimated at $83,000 in additional annual charges.

  • Conducted emergency PLC tag analysis and modeled curtailment scenarios by production line
  • Developed a 5CP alert protocol with 48-hour advance notice from PJM monitoring
  • Shifted three non-critical production processes to off-peak hours during peak season
  • Positioned the account for an Index contract at renewal to capture post-BRA price softening
