Large Commercial Electric & Gas Rates — Custom Energy Procurement for Enterprise Accounts
Spend more than $10,000/month on electricity or natural gas? ABC Energy goes beyond standard marketplace quotes. Get clause-by-clause protection, live reverse auctions across 90+ ESCOs, and pricing structured to how your large commercial or industrial business actually operates.
Example: price swings from usage tolerance
The fine print matters. A 10% swing tolerance vs. 100% swing can materially change your risk and cost.
- Penalties outside ±10%
- Lower rate, higher risk if usage shifts
- Best for predictable, stable loads
- No penalties for load variance
- Slightly higher rate, minimal exposure
- Ideal for dynamic or weather-sensitive operations
We align tolerance, bandwidth, and shaping to your actual profile—seasonality, demand charges, and expansion plans.
Pro tip: A 10% swing might save on paper, but 100% swing can prevent costly imbalance penalties if your usage varies significantly.

Beyond a marketplace quote
Our small-account platform (like uRate) is great for residential and small commercial. Large accounts need bespoke terms and real market depth. Here’s what you get:
Material change, change-in-law, swing/bandwidth, pass-throughs, renewables & REC language.
Confirm taxes, adders, capacity/ancillary treatment, and basis. No surprise passthroughs.
Single vs dual billing by utility and account. Consolidate where it lowers hassle and risk.
Right-size blocks vs index, seasonality, and growth expectations. Avoid mismatch penalties.
We invite a broader bench than typical marketplaces (~40). More bidders → better outcomes.
Bid log, terms matrix, and executable summary you can share with finance and counsel.
Reverse energy auction: transparent. competitive. optimized.
We gather interval data, bill copies, account lists, and any procurement rules. You choose fixed, index, hybrid, or renewable options.
Pre-vetted ESCOs bid in real time. You can watch the auction, get a post-event review, or just receive the best executable offer.
We review clauses, confirm taxes and billing, and prep signature packets. Clean LOA/LOE handling keeps the field competitive.
Timeline: Best results come from a 3–5 business day auction window after data collection to maximize supplier participation and price depth. We can compress for urgent renewals.
About the LOA & LOE
- LOA (Letter of Authorization): lets us obtain usage data and invite suppliers to bid. No pricing locked, no commitment.
- LOE (Letter of Exclusivity): optional but recommended for best results. Some ESCOs will not price without it. We can run non-exclusive as well, just with a smaller field.
What to expect
- Swing/bandwidth (10% vs 100% etc.) and imbalance penalties
- Material change & change-in-law triggers (what can move your rate)
- All-in vs pass-through charges; ensure taxes/fees are included
- Capacity, transmission, ancillaries, and basis treatment
- Single vs dual billing; consolidated invoicing by utility

FAQ
No. We can run non-exclusive, but some ESCOs will only price with an LOE. LOE typically increases participation and improves pricing depth.
To get the best results, auctions run 3–5 business days after we receive usage data and scope to maximize supplier participation and price depth. We can compress timelines for urgent renewals; execution can be same-day after award.
Yes. We often shape blocks for budget certainty while keeping index exposure where it makes sense for the load.
We can include REC options and disclosure language, with supplier-verified attestations suitable for ESG reporting.
