Energy is a bigger cost than most metal fabrication realize
Fabricators run welders, presses, CNC machines, compressors and furnaces — equipment that draws heavy, spiky power.
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 metal fabrication typically spend on power
A typical metal fabrication operation runs about 40,000–400,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $5,568–$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
Demand spikes from welding and presses
Welding and pressing create sharp demand peaks that drive up charges. Managing peak and locking a fixed supply rate together is where a fabricator controls cost — we handle the rate and flag peak-management wins.
