Why traditional energy procurement costs too much

The broker model is designed to maximize their revenue, not minimize your energy spend. Here is what you are really paying for.

Broker commissions eat into every contract

Traditional energy brokers charge 10-20% commissions on every contract they place. That fee is baked into your rate, so you never see it on your bill. For a 20-location portfolio spending $900K/year, that is $90,000 to $180,000 going to your broker instead of your bottom line.

No transparency in rate comparisons

Brokers control what rates you see and which suppliers make the shortlist. They often favor suppliers who pay the highest referral fees rather than the ones offering the lowest cost. You have no way to verify that the rates presented are truly the best available in your market.

Contract timing is often suboptimal

Locking in a rate at the wrong time can cost thousands per year. Most brokers push renewals based on their calendar, not market conditions. Without forward curve analysis and pricing intelligence, you end up signing contracts when rates are high instead of waiting for favorable windows.
