Education & institutions
Energy is a bigger cost than most universities & colleges realize
Campuses run classrooms, labs, dorms, dining, athletics and data centers — a 24/7 mix that makes energy a major institutional cost.
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 universities & colleges typically spend on power
A typical universities & colleges operation runs about 200,000–3,000,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $27,840–$417,600 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
