Our Solution
In January 2022, we secured a portfolio-wide rate of $0.044/kWh across multiple ERCOT zones. This rate was locked in before the significant market increases that occurred throughout 2022-2024.

June 2024 (future-start)
The Situation
An oil and gas operator in Midland, TX had an existing contract expiring in late 2024. They wanted to avoid the risk of renewing into a higher market when their current agreement ended.
Our Solution
We structured a future-dated renewal in June 2024, locking in a rate of $0.064/kWh that would take effect immediately after their existing contract expired. This allowed them to secure favorable pricing months in advance without disrupting their current agreement.
The Result
The client is saving approximately $10,000 per year compared to current market pricing in the Midland area. The future-start structure eliminated renewal risk and provided certainty for their energy budget planning.
Note: This contract was structured as a future-dated hedge, meaning it begins at the end of the client's existing agreement. This strategy is ideal for businesses that want to lock in rates early without terminating current contracts.
