Real estate & property
Energy is a bigger cost than most commercial real estate realize
Owners and operators of office, retail and mixed-use property carry common-area energy loads and often tenant supply across large portfolios.
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 commercial real estate typically spend on power
A typical commercial real estate operation runs about 20,000–500,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $2,784–$69,600 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
Common-area load and portfolio scale
Common-area HVAC and lighting are a controllable cost, and across a portfolio the numbers are large. We bid the whole portfolio, align terms, and lock competitive fixed rates — and pass clean, predictable pricing to tenants where you supply them.
