What Is Commercial Energy?

Commercial energy is an energy source that is used to generate electricity and that is available for sale in the marketplace. Common forms of commercial energy are electricity, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. The price is determined by market forces such as supply and demand, the price of fuels, and government regulations. Commercial energy is generally split into two categories: conventional (electricity and natural gas) and unconventional, which covers green and renewable energies like solar, wind, and nuclear.  

Non-commercial energy is energy that is generally collected and used by the consumer, and not bought and sold in the marketplace. Examples of non-commercial energy include mostly rural materials such as log burning, cattle dung, and agricultural waste. 

Anytime you buy energy from a utility your business energy rates will fluctuate with the marketplace. For example, natural gas rates could be low when you sign up with the utility company but increase over time due to external factors. This increase will affect the commercial energy rates you pay.

However, through an energy broker, like Consumer Energy Solutions, you can be assured we will get you the best energy rate for your businesses. We also ensure the energy plan we provide will cover whatever your business needs are. Since commercial energy plans are generally fixed-rate your business electricity and gas rates will remain constant throughout the life of your contract. 

The type of plan that you have for commercial electricity will be determined by your energy consumption and the area in which you live. There are some places where you’re able to get better rates than others, but Consumer Energy Solutions is always committed to working our connections with the commercial energy providers to get you the lowest monthly bill possible.
