The Right Pricing for Your Business

For most Maryland businesses, that means a competitive fixed supply rate. When it makes sense, we can also explore more advanced structures — like block and index or NYMEX-based pricing — to better fit your usage.

How Our Maryland Energy Procurement Process Works

Once you share a few details about your business and average energy spend, we handle the market work for you. We compare offers from multiple licensed Maryland electricity and natural gas suppliers, explain your options in plain English, and help you lock in the best fit—without surprises or pressure.

What Maryland Businesses Say About CES

Jack at Consumer Energy Solutions helped us secure a great low rate for our electricity and natural gas which has saved us $54,822 over the past 2 years!

Greg Zakarian

CFO, LOMAR Management

A group of Chick-fil-A owners got together and I shared my gas and electric rates and the whole room was amazed! I told them I have a great energy broker that I have worked with for years. Most of them have contracts but I wanted to get them Cheri’s contact information for the future! 

Brian

Owner, Chick-fil-A

My energy consultant Jack had the foresight to get me to renew early back in the beginning of 2021 for 5.8 cents and as of now Pepco’s price to compare is 15 cents, so to have a low rate in 2022 is a huge financial blessing for my business.

Thank you for your professional guidance as I am sure I gave Jack grief last year for renewing so early and now I cannot thank you enough!

Owner, Parkway, Custom Dry-clean

Are You Overpaying for Your Energy?

Whether you’re on a supplier contract or still on your utility’s default supply rate, you may be overpaying. A quick bill audit helps you see where you stand — with no commitment and no sales pressure.

  • Compare your current supply rate against today’s competitive market

  • See whether staying with your current supplier makes sense in today’s market

  • Check whether your renewal strategy is helping or hurting you

  • Get a clear picture of your options before your next contract decision

  • No commitment — just a clear answer

If you haven’t compared your rate recently, there’s a good chance you’re paying more than necessary. A quick bill audit will tell you where you stand.

The CES Advantage: Maryland Expertise, Behind the Scenes

We do far more than gather quotes. Behind the scenes, our team protects Maryland businesses from bad contract terms, unstable suppliers, and poorly timed renewals — so you get the right rate, the right structure, and a predictable experience from day one.

Benefit 1 — Contract Risk Review You Can Trust

Energy contracts can vary dramatically in what they include — and what they pass through. We review every supplier agreement for risk factors, hidden pass-throughs, unclear terms, and clauses that can inflate your total cost. You get plain-English guidance on what the contract really means before you sign, so there are no surprises later.

Benefit 2 — Vetted, Reliable Maryland Supplier Network

Not all suppliers operate the same way. We only work with licensed, established Maryland suppliers who have a track record of delivering stable pricing and clear contract terms. This means you’re not exposed to suppliers known for vague contract language, surprise pass-throughs, or inconsistent billing. You get options from partners we trust — not whoever happens to be cheapest that day.

Benefit 3 — Market Monitoring & Renewal Timing Expertise

Your renewal shouldn’t come down to guesswork — or a last-minute scramble. We monitor wholesale market trends and help you time renewals to avoid seasonal price spikes and unfavorable market conditions.

And because rates change constantly, we shop every renewal across all relevant Maryland suppliers, even if you’ve worked with one before. The supplier who offered the best deal last time isn’t always the best option now.

Benefit 4 — Fast, Accurate Pricing from a Dedicated Maryland Team

Many businesses receive pricing the same day, but more complex accounts — large usage, multi-site locations, or specialized structures — may require 1–5 business days for suppliers to model accurately. Our team manages the process end-to-end and confirms every quote before it reaches you, so what you see is correct, complete, and ready for review.
