Wholesale Procurement

ECM is one of the few entities that can help customers buy directly from the independent system operator. This effectively cuts out the middleman, secures the incremental wholesale-retail savings spread, and provides full-price transparency.

As one of the first companies to participate in the wholesale market...

Wholesale energy procurement is the process by which large-scale consumers of energy, such as utilities, manufacturers, and large commercial enterprises, acquire the electricity, natural gas, or other energy commodities they need to power their operations. Unlike retail energy consumers who purchase energy directly from their local utility provider, wholesale energy buyers participate in specialized energy markets to source their supply at the most competitive rates.

ECM carefully analyze factors like generation capacity, transmission infrastructure, regulatory policies, and global market dynamics to develop a comprehensive procurement plan tailored to the organization’s unique energy needs and budget.

ECM brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to its customers. On average, ECM saves customers 15-20%, sometimes saving as much as 40%.
