Energy is a bigger cost than most machine shops realize
Machine shops run CNC equipment, compressors, and climate control, with demand that spikes as machines cycle.
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 machine shops typically spend on power
A typical machine shops operation runs about 15,000–120,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $2,088–$16,704 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
Demand from cycling equipment
CNC machines and compressors cycling on and off drive demand charges. We lock a competitive fixed supply rate and flag where managing peak draw lowers your bill.
