The Philadelphia market
Commercial energy in Philadelphia
Philadelphia sits in PJM Interconnection, the grid operator for the Mid-Atlantic, and is served by PECO for delivery. Pennsylvania has been a competitive-supply state for years — through the state’s energy-choice framework, commercial customers choose the supplier for the generation portion of their bill while PECO continues to deliver the power and handle outages.
For a Philadelphia business, that means the supply charge is contestable. We take it to bid across our suppliers and lock a fixed rate, so a competitive market works in your favor instead of leaving you on PECO’s default “price to compare.”
What it costs
What Philadelphia businesses pay for power
Pennsylvania’s commercial average sits close to the national number, but averages hide a lot. Your PECO delivery charges, your capacity tag, and your contract timing move your real rate as much as the market does — which is exactly where we go to work.

Who we serve
Industries we broker for in Philadelphia
Philadelphia’s commercial base leans heavily on institutions: major hospital and health systems, one of the densest concentrations of universities and colleges in the country, and a deep pharmaceutical and life-sciences corridor. We also broker for professional and financial services firms, hospitality, and the manufacturers and logistics operators along the Delaware.
Local cost drivers
Capacity tags (PLC) and your summer peak
In PJM, one of the biggest hidden drivers of a commercial bill is your capacity obligation — often called your PLC (Peak Load Contribution), or capacity tag. It’s set by how much power you draw during the previous summer’s handful of peak hours, and it determines a capacity charge that follows you through the entire next delivery year.
A high PLC can quietly inflate your rate long after the hot day that caused it. We factor your capacity tag into every quote, time your contract so you lock capacity on favorable terms, and for larger accounts we’ll show you where trimming summer peak demand pays off twice — on energy and on capacity.
