Timing Matters: The Best Time to Buy Commercial Electricity

‍

Did you know that the timing of when you purchase electricity for your business can significantly impact your bottom line? Electricity rates aren't fixed—they fluctuate due to seasonal demand, contract lengths, market conditions, and regional differences. Delaying your decision or renewing at the wrong time could mean paying more than necessary. No one can predict the future, but with the right strategy, you can turn timing into a powerful tool for savings.

Imagine reallocating the money saved on energy costs to other crucial areas of your business—just by making informed decisions about when and how you purchase electricity. Let's explore how you can make this a reality.

‍

1. Seasonal Variations: When to Lock In Lower Rates

Like many products, electricity rates change due to supply and demand. The time of year can have a significant impact on energy sources as demand increases:

• Spring (March-May) and Fall (September-November) usually offer lower rates due to milder weather and decreased energy demand.
• Summer (June-August) and Winter (December-February) often have higher rates because of increased cooling and heating needs.

Your next step: Plan to renew your contracts during the “shoulder months” of spring or fall. Set reminders a few months in advance to start the process early and secure the best rates. Additionally, find out more about what factors affect electricity prices.

2. Regional Considerations: Tailor Your Strategy

The combination of regional climate conditions, weather events, and regulatory frameworks directly impact electricity prices. Depending on your location, you may experience extreme temperatures and storms that create a strain on the grid:

• Southern States: Experience higher summer rates due to heavy air conditioning use.
• Northern States: Face increased winter rates because of heating demands.
• Storm-Prone Areas: Regions susceptible to hurricanes, tornadoes, or severe storms can experience sudden spikes in electricity prices. Storms can damage infrastructure, disrupt supply chains, and cause temporary shortages, all of which can drive up energy costs.‍
• Local Regulations: State-specific policies, such as renewable energy mandates or taxes, can influence pricing at different times of the year.

Your next step: Understanding regional energy trends is crucial to maximizing savings. However, you can make an informed decision without the hassle of researching. Arise Energy monitors regional energy trends and regulatory changes to inform you when might be the best time to purchase electricity in each of your locations.

3. Choosing the Right Contract Length

Your contract length affects rates and flexibility. Finding the optimal balance between term length and pricing can significantly influence your long-term energy expenses and adaptability to market shifts:

• Long-Term Contracts (2-5 years): Offer price stability and often lower rates, protecting you from market volatility.
• Short-Term Contracts (6-12 months): Provide flexibility to capitalize on potential future price drops but may come with slightly higher rates.

Your next step: Determine which contract length best aligns with your business’ strategic roadmap and risk tolerance. With Arise Energy's platform, we help you select a contract length by comparing each option with rates included.

4. Monitoring Market Conditions

Stay informed about factors that influence electricity rates. Market dynamics can shift quickly, and understanding these changes can help you seize opportunities for savings:

• Fuel Prices: Fluctuations in natural gas or coal prices can impact costs.
• Supply and Demand: Economic shifts or extreme weather events can alter energy needs.
• Regulatory Changes: New policies or environmental regulations may affect pricing.
