Energy is a bigger cost than most food & beverage processing realize
Processors run refrigeration, cooking, packaging and sanitation lines continuously, combining heavy electricity and natural gas use.
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 food & beverage processing typically spend on power
A typical food & beverage processing operation runs about 80,000–800,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $11,136–$111,360 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
Refrigeration, process heat and demand
Cold chain and process heat run nonstop while packaging lines add demand. Because processors are typically dual-fuel, we lock fixed rates on both electricity and gas to protect against volatility on both fronts.
