Unlocking marketplace advantages for your organization
The price of electricity and gas fluctuates over time. Anyone who has paid a utility bill knows that.
​
But not everyone who pays a bill knows that there is a speculative market that generates millions of dollars for traders, buyers and sellers each year.
​
Our team at wholesale energy experts leverages those same market forces to find tremendous savings for mission-driven organizations...often much lower than the prices being offered by ComEd and competitors.
Leveraging market and pricing for good...

We do not generate electricity, and we do not trade physical power. We make our money from betting on the price of electricity every day in the futures markets.
Since our founding in 2007 we have had gross profits of more than $700 million.
We are a small shop of electricity analysts (10-30 people) betting on
the price of electricity in this zone. It is our job and our livelihood to speculate correctly on the price of electricity.
Additionally, we also track and monitor gas prices as part of our research. The gas and electricity prices are closely attached because so much electricity generations comes from gas.
This is why we feel we know the markets better than the suppliers. The suppliers are in the PRODUCTION game. Their goal is to make money on physical power.
They really don’t care where the prices go. Their goal is to lock in their profits on the physical commodity. And ComEd doesn’t really care because they don’t offer anyone a fixed price.
It is a fixed MARKET price.
As you can see on your bill, they either give a credit or a debit depending on the actual price of electricity in that month. The producers are in a tough spot. They are making the commodity, but it gets priced in “real time”...as it is being consumed by the customers. They have no say in pricing. We actively participate in the pricing models every day.
We give the market depth and help set price across the entire grid and can argue we are more important in pricing electricity than the producers.
