Energy Market News & Updates
The energy market can quickly change. Check back for the latest headlines and stories that can effect your business operations and bottomline.
As the grid evolves, businesses have an increasingly important role in managing when and how they use energy. Electrification, extreme weather, renewable generation variability, and growing demand from large-load facilities
For industrial operations, energy is more than a monthly utility bill. It is a material operating cost, a budgeting variable, and, in many markets, an exposure to changing commodity prices,
Manufacturers are under constant pressure to reduce costs while maintaining output, reliability, and product quality. Capital-free efficiency projects are emerging as a practical way to achieve these goals—allowing facilities to
Pricing overall has risen in the past week with the yearly average DA/ATC price now topping $60.00 in 2027 and2028. 2026 is just a shade lower at $59.48 but will likely top $60.00 for the average in the coming weeks.
or automotive manufacturers, efficiency projects are rarely simple equipment upgrades. The right partner should understand production realities, procurement requirements, energy-market conditions, and how to deliver improvements without disrupting throughput, quality,
Capacity costs are climbing fast in PJM, while heat continues to drive strong energy demand. The latest Base Residual Capacity Auction began on June 30, and recent results reflect a major increase in grid costs. Natural gas prices have also edged higher, and July power prices remain elevated after last week’s heat dome.
For multi-site manufacturers, operational inconsistency is expensive. A lighting retrofit at one plant, compressed-air improvements at another, and deferred maintenance at a third can create a patchwork of performance, cost,
Capacity costs are climbing fast in PJM, while heat continues to drive strong energy demand. The latest Base Residual Capacity Auction began on June 30, and recent results reflect a major increase in grid costs. Natural gas prices have also edged higher, and July power prices remain elevated after last week’s heat dome.
Capital-free efficiency projects often stall not because the numbers do not work, but because they never make it cleanly from “great idea” to “line item in the manufacturing operating budget.”
For mid-sized industrial facilities, infrastructure upgrades are no longer just a question of need—they are a question of timing, capital, and risk. Aging systems, rising energy costs, and increasing operational
Capacity costs are climbing fast in PJM, while heat continues to drive strong energy demand.

Natural gas prices have also edged higher, and July power prices remain elevated after last week’s heat dome.
For mid-sized industrial plants, comparing bids for industrial infrastructure services is not just a pricing exercise. The strongest capital-free infrastructure projects create a clear link among contract structure, measurable savings,

Natural gas prices have also edged higher, and July power prices remain elevated after last week’s heat dome.
Manufacturing leaders evaluating capital-free efficiency projects need to compare more than promised savings. The strongest models balance operating budget impact, savings structure, contract terms, and day-to-day operational fit so projects
