Energy is a bigger cost than most greenhouses & nurseries realize
Greenhouses run supplemental grow lighting, ventilation, heating and irrigation, with load that shifts sharply by season and daylength.
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 greenhouses & nurseries typically spend on power
A typical greenhouses & nurseries operation runs about 20,000–400,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $2,784–$55,680 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
Grow lighting and climate control
Supplemental lighting and climate control drive heavy, seasonal load — and often heavy natural gas heating. We lock fixed rates on both fuels so a cold snap or market swing doesn’t wreck your crop economics.
