Abstract

Let’s say you are handling multiple electricity accounts, as either a
large customer or an aggregation group. Just because you are now able
to buy from a non-utility power supplier does not mean you should do
so for all your accounts. For some of your accounts, your utility may still
be able to provide better pricing.
But how can you determine which accounts to leave with your
utility and which to offer to energy marketers? Two basic steps are in-
volved: obtaining hourly load profile data for your accounts, and re-
questing separate pricing for each account instead of accepting a
lumped price for all accounts.
