Direct answer
Laundromat electricity brokerage helps owners in eligible territories compare licensed retail suppliers against the utility default supply benchmark. Your local wires company still delivers power and bills pass-through delivery charges. Eligibility depends on state rules and your exact utility territory—municipal utilities, co-ops, and capped programs may not qualify. Jaken Energy provides independent review; we are not a utility or residential retail supplier.

Process
Confirm utility territory and rate class from the bill

Model supply-only savings against delivery and demand charges separately
Review contract language for pass-through, bandwidth, and early exit terms
Supply versus delivery in choice states
In many competitive markets the utility or TDU continues to own meters, respond to outages, and bill regulated delivery charges. A retail supplier replaces only the generation or energy supply line item—or provides consolidated billing depending on state rules.
Brokerage review separates these components so a lower $/kWh quote is not mistaken for total bill relief when demand charges or TDSP riders dominate.
Territory eligibility comes first
Texas ERCOT addresses on Oncor, CenterPoint, or AEP Texas must select a REP—but Austin Energy and CPS Energy do not. ComEd territory in Illinois allows ARES choice unless the city owns the utility. California laundromats may default to a CCA rather than classic supplier shopping.
We verify territory before comparing offers because a generic state page can mislead.
Q & A
FAQ
Does brokerage replace my utility?
No. The regulated utility or TDU continues delivery. Brokerage addresses competitive supply where you are eligible.
Will you beat my utility rate?
We do not guarantee savings. We compare documented supplier offers against your default supply benchmark and contract terms.
Share your utility territory and contract timing. We provide independent supply-side guidance where your market allows—not utility sales or guaranteed savings claims.
