Energy is a bigger cost than most dairy farms realize
Dairies run milking systems, vacuum pumps, refrigeration and cooling around the clock — energy is a constant, essential input.
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 dairy farms typically spend on power
A typical dairy farms operation runs about 15,000–250,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $2,088–$34,800 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 milking and milk cooling
Milking and milk-cooling refrigeration run continuously, giving dairies a high load factor and steady demand. We shop the supply charge and lock a fixed rate that protects margins in a commodity business.
