Engagement Timeline
The Situation
Michael was opening a new restaurant in Burleson, in a former franchise restaurant space that had sat shut down. With no billing history of his own, Voltcheckr estimated roughly 385,000 kWh per year from the building and his planned operation, and a prior bill from the location's previous restaurant tenant set the supply rate to beat.
The Analysis
At that size, the account qualified for a reverse bid. Competing suppliers had 4–5 business days to submit their best offer — and each could see the offers they had to beat, so most of the sharpest pricing landed on the final day. The winning offer: a 24-month fixed supply rate from Constellation, about 26% below the supply rate on the location's previous bill. Delivery charges are set by Oncor and don't change with the supplier.
The Result
Michael signed the 24-month fixed supply contract with Constellation — roughly $660 a month and about $8,000 a year in projected supply savings at the estimated usage, versus what the location was previously paying. Actual savings will track actual usage.
