Direct answer
Laundromat energy procurement maps when to request supply quotes, which benchmarks to use, and how electric and gas contracts interact for your territory. A store on PSE&G may shop both fuels while a Richmond laundromat may only shop gas. Procurement includes usage history, rate class confirmation, and supplier licensing checks—not a promise to beat utility default service. Jaken Energy supports independent review; eligibility varies by address.
Inventory meters, fuels, and rate schedules per store
Pull 24 months of billing and interval data if available
Mark default supply reset dates on a procurement calendar
Define product type: fixed, index, or layered hedge
Issue comparable RFQs to licensed suppliers only
Document decision rationale for future renewals and sale diligence
Procurement is not the same as efficiency
LED lighting and extractor upgrades change load shape; procurement changes who sells kWh or therms. Both matter but answer different budget lines.
A procurement plan should note whether demand charges sit on the delivery tariff because supply savings alone may not move total cost.
Dual-fuel coordination
Philadelphia PECO electric and PGW gas follow different regulators and renewal cycles. Atlanta may shop gas marketers while Georgia Power supply stays regulated.
We sequence quotes so you compare like benchmarks—not a gas index against an electric fixed block.
Q & A
FAQ
How far ahead should I start procurement?
Many owners begin 90–180 days before contract end; some states publish default supply updates seasonally—check your commission portal.
Can one supplier cover electric and gas everywhere?
Rarely across all territories. Dual-fuel bundles exist in some markets but each commodity must be licensed for your LDC.
