-- Commercial businesses across 13 states are bracing for a dramatic increase in electricity costs, with capacity charges set to rise by 833% from June 1, 2025. In response, The Energy Consultant NJ has updated its Market Intelligence Solutions (MIS) to help companies mitigate the financial impact of the rate hike.

According to PJM's recent capacity auction results, capacity charges will rise from approximately $28.92 to $269.92 per megawatt-day—a nearly tenfold increase. This surge will affect over 65 million electricity consumers within the PJM grid, potentially driving total electricity costs up by 15% to 25% for commercial users.
The increase is driven by a combination of factors, including growing demand, market rule changes, and reduced generation capacity due to plant retirements. PJM has described this as one of the most significant rate shifts in its history.
Unmanaged, the capacity charge increase could severely impact budgets and cash flow. Professional energy procurement can offset a substantial portion of the upcoming rate increase through strategic supplier selection and well-timed contracts.
"Energy deregulation allows businesses to choose their electricity supplier independently of their utility provider," said a company representative. "Our MIS method analyzes usage patterns, identifies competitive supply options, and ensures clients continue to receive favorable rates as market conditions evolve."
The company's service streamlines energy procurement through a three-step process: businesses submit information through a secure portal, upload a recent electricity bill, and receive competitive rate options from a network of approved suppliers. Each client is assigned an account executive who develops customized cost-reduction strategies and provides ongoing support.
