Energy is a bigger cost than most plastics & injection molding realize
Injection molding and extrusion run large heaters, hydraulics and chillers continuously, making plastics among the most power-intense manufacturing sectors.
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 plastics & injection molding typically spend on power
A typical plastics & injection molding operation runs about 60,000–600,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $8,352–$83,520 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
Continuous process load and chillers
Molding machines and process chillers run around the clock, producing a high load factor and heavy demand. Suppliers price steady high-volume load well — we bid it out and lock a fixed rate that protects your margins.
