Energy Exchange Market provides high-volume industrial and commercial accounts with integrated supply hedging and grid-revenue strategies — including demand response enrollment, PLC tag optimization, and ICAP cost reduction. We manage the complexity so your team focuses on operations.
We manage the full lifecycle of your energy account — from procurement through settlement — so you're capturing every dollar of efficiency and every available revenue stream.
We structure your energy purchase to match your risk tolerance and load profile. Not one-size-fits-all — every strategy is tailored.
Your facility's idle capacity is a revenue asset. We enroll you in the right programs and handle all compliance — you collect the checks.
Data-driven insight on your non-bypassable charges, capacity tags, and market timing. This is where most brokers stop — we're just getting started.
Most energy brokers stop at supply procurement. We go three layers deeper — because the biggest savings in a C&I energy program aren't always in the commodity.
We maintain direct relationships with Constellation, NRG, NextEra, Direct Energy, and 25+ additional Tier-1 suppliers. No aggregators. No middlemen between us and the trading desk. Your account gets real market attention — not a templated quote.
Non-bypassable capacity charges represent 20–35% of a C&I customer's total energy bill in PJM. We proactively monitor your PLC tag, model curtailment scenarios, and execute load reductions during the five critical coincident peak hours — reducing your capacity obligation for the entire following compliance year.
PJM's Emergency Load Response Program and ISO-NE's Active Demand program pay your facility for its ability to curtail load. We identify your curtailment capacity, handle all enrollment paperwork, train your facilities team, and ensure every performance event is properly settled and paid.
PJM's annual capacity auction clears the price suppliers must pay to guarantee power delivery. The 2025/26 BRA cleared at historic highs. Accounts without forward procurement contracts are fully exposed to these costs.
Your PLC tag — set each August — determines your share of total PJM capacity costs for the following compliance year. Reducing your tag by 10% through coincident peak curtailment can save $50,000–$200,000 annually on large accounts.
Qualifying facilities can receive capacity market payments in exchange for committing to reduce load during PJM-declared grid emergencies. Payments are based on your MW commitment and the BRA clearing price.
ISO-NE's Forward Capacity Market pays facilities for guaranteed load reduction capability. Annual capacity auction results determine payment rates. EEXM manages your FCM enrollment and ensures full performance credit on every event.
New England's heavy reliance on natural gas creates extreme price volatility during cold snaps. Fixed-price and block & index strategies lock in your exposure before winter. We monitor Algonquin basis and recommend optimal forward hedges.
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island have mandatory RPS requirements. We structure supply contracts that meet state compliance obligations at the lowest net cost — including Class I REC procurement where required.
In PJM, your Peak Load Contribution (PLC) is determined by the five highest system peaks between June and September. In ISO-NE, a single coincident peak hour sets your ICAP tag for the year. If your team doesn't have a curtailment plan for those hours, you're writing a blank check.
This estimates supply savings only. Your total program savings — including demand response revenue and capacity charge reduction — are calculated in your full audit.

Get Full Account Analysis — FreeEvery Energy Exchange Market engagement follows the same disciplined four-phase methodology — because sophisticated C&I accounts deserve a systematic partner, not an improvised one.
We pull your interval data via EDI from your utility, run a full account diagnostic, and audit your existing contract for hidden adders, above-market pass-throughs, and exposure to the BRA capacity increase.
We model Fixed, Index, and Block & Index scenarios against your load shape, risk profile, and BRA capacity exposure. 30+ investment-grade suppliers bid simultaneously. You get a normalized comparison — not a cherry-picked quote.
We execute your supply contract exclusively with an investment-grade, A-rated supplier. No exceptions. Every agreement is audited for material change clauses, regulatory pass-through risk, and change-in-law exposure before you sign.
We monitor 5CP peak hours, demand response events, and renewal windows 365 days a year. Monthly budget-to-actual variance reports track every dollar of savings against what we projected — because we don't disappear after the contract is signed.
We're completely independent — no supplier owns us, retains us exclusively, or receives preferential treatment. Pure competition creates your best outcome.
A low rate from a financially unstable supplier is not a deal — it's a risk. During Polar Vortex events and summer heat domes, suppliers with weak credit have invoked Force Majeure or sought rate relief mid-contract. We protect our clients from that exposure before it exists.
These are actual accounts. Supply savings, demand response revenue, and capacity reductions — not estimates.
"Their ICAP tag analysis alone saved us over $180,000. These are real energy professionals — not order-takers."
"We enrolled in PJM ELRP and generated $47,000 in curtailment revenue we didn't know existed. That's found money."
"Block & index was exactly right for our load. Fixed the base, floated the rest — significant improvement versus a full fixed contract."
You cannot manage what you do not measure. Every Energy Exchange Market client receives institutional-grade reporting designed for executive-level review — not a bill and a "thank you."
Monthly reports comparing your projected spend against actual cost. When there's a spike, we don't just flag it — we identify whether it was driven by an operational surge, a capacity tag shift, or a market pass-through. Then we model the corrective action.
In PJM and ISO-NE, capacity, transmission, and ancillary services are often more volatile than the commodity itself. We break these down line-by-line so your team can see exactly how our PLC and ICAP management is compressing your non-bypassable charges over time.
We don't wait for your contract to expire to talk to you. Our team monitors forward curves continuously. If the market drops 18 months before your renewal, we alert you to blend-and-extend — capturing long-term price stability when the window is open, not after it closes.
The June 2024 PJM Base Residual Auction cleared capacity at $269.92/MW-day — up from $34.13/MW-day the year prior. For a 1 MW commercial account, this represents an additional $85,000+ in annual non-bypassable capacity charges starting June 2025. Accounts with fixed supply contracts that don't address capacity pass-throughs are fully exposed.
We review your current supply contract, interval data, utility territory, capacity tag exposure, and demand response eligibility — then deliver a complete procurement strategy with real supplier quotes. This is a professional analysis, not a generic lead form.
Industrial and commercial accounts in PJM can earn $25,000–$100,000+ annually per MW of curtailment capacity through demand response programs — without installing a single piece of equipment.
We identify your curtailment capacity, handle enrollment, and ensure every event is settled and paid in full.Your Peak Load Contribution (PLC) tag is determined by your electricity usage during the five highest-demand hours across the PJM grid each summer. It sets your proportional share of total PJM capacity costs for the entire following compliance year (June–May). For large C&I accounts, capacity charges can represent 20–35% of total energy cost. Proactive curtailment during those five hours — even a 15–20% load reduction — can meaningfully reduce your tag and save tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Through PJM's Emergency Load Response Program (ELRP) and ISO-NE's Active Demand capability, qualifying facilities receive capacity market payments for committing to reduce electricity consumption during declared grid emergencies. Payments are based on your committed MW reduction and the capacity clearing price from the Base Residual Auction. A facility able to commit 500 kW at the current PJM clearing price of ~$270/MW-day generates approximately $49,000 annually in capacity payments — before any actual curtailment events occur.
Block & Index — sometimes called "layered" procurement — involves fixing a portion of your load (typically 50–80%) at a forward price, while the remaining load floats with the real-time or day-ahead market index. This structure works well for accounts with predictable base loads and variable peaks. The fixed block provides budget certainty; the index portion captures market downside when prices are favorable. We model your historical interval data to determine the optimal block size for your specific load shape.
The June 2024 PJM Base Residual Auction cleared at $269.92/MW-day for the 2025/26 compliance year — compared to $34.13/MW-day the prior year. This 800%+ increase flows through to C&I customers as higher non-bypassable capacity charges starting June 2025. The impact depends on your PLC tag (your share of total PJM load) and whether your supply contract passes these charges through. For a 1 MW account, the additional annual capacity cost is approximately $85,000. We quantify your specific exposure in every audit.
Yes — and this is often where we deliver the most value. We review your existing contract for hidden adders, above-market capacity pass-throughs, and unfavorable renewal terms. We model the economics of staying vs. switching early. And regardless of your supply situation, we can immediately begin working on PLC tag management, demand response enrollment, and capacity cost reduction — none of which require changing your supplier.
We earn a broker margin embedded in the supplier's price — paid by the supplier after you enroll. This is the standard commercial model in energy brokerage. You pay the same commodity rate whether you came to the supplier through us or went direct; our fee does not come out of your pocket. For demand response enrollment, we earn a portion of the capacity payment revenue your facility receives. We disclose our compensation structure fully in writing before any agreement is signed.
We serve all major deregulated utility territories in PJM (PECO, PPL, JCP&L, PSE&G, AEP Ohio, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, Delmarva, Atlantic City Electric) and ISO-NE (Eversource, National Grid, UI, Unitil, Central Maine Power, Green Mountain Power), plus NYISO and ERCOT. Call 610-904-9403 to confirm your specific territory and discuss market conditions.
