Energy is a bigger cost than most grocery & supermarkets realize
Grocery stores are refrigeration-dominated — cases, walk-ins and freezers run 24/7, alongside heavy lighting and HVAC, making them one of the largest commercial power users.
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 grocery & supermarkets typically spend on power
A typical grocery & supermarkets operation runs about 30,000–200,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $4,176–$27,840 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 and demand charges
Refrigeration is a constant, enormous load and demand charges can be a large share of a supermarket bill. Managing peak demand and locking a competitive fixed supply rate together is the path to control — we handle the rate and flag where peak strategy pays off.
