Energy is a bigger cost than most breweries & distilleries realize
Breweries and distilleries are process-heavy — refrigeration, boilers, pumps, and packaging lines run for long stretches with meaningful demand.
In a deregulated market, the supply charge — typically more than half your bill — is competitive. That’s the part USA Energy puts out to bid across 26+ suppliers, locking the lowest fixed rate for the longest sensible term while your utility keeps delivering the power. It costs you nothing: the supplier pays us, never you.
What it costs
What breweries & distilleries typically spend on power
A typical breweries & distilleries operation runs about 10,000–80,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $1,392–$11,136 in energy alone — before delivery and demand charges. The supply piece is what we shop.
Estimates at 13.92¢/kWh (latest EIA data). See average bills by business type and rates for your state.
What drives your bill
Process load and refrigeration
Fermentation and cold storage run continuously while brewing and packaging create demand peaks. Because craft producers often use both electricity and natural gas, we can lock fixed rates on both and protect your margins from market swings.
