Energy is a bigger cost than most convenience stores realize
C-stores run coolers, freezers, coffee and food equipment, and bright canopy lighting 24 hours a day, often across many sites.
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 convenience stores typically spend on power
A typical convenience stores operation runs about 5,000–25,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $696–$3,480 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
24/7 refrigeration across many sites
Round-the-clock refrigeration gives c-stores a steady, high-load-factor profile that suppliers price well. Across a chain, one aligned fixed rate per store adds up — we bid the whole footprint and lock it in.
