The Electricity Challenge for Churches

Churches pay some of the highest effective per-kWh rates in the commercial sector because their load profile is deeply unfavorable: nearly all their demand is concentrated in a few hours Sunday morning. That peak sets their monthly demand charge, which they then pay all month for a building that is largely unused the rest of the week. Many smaller congregations are also on default provider rates that are 20–40% above what a broker can negotiate.

How Churches Can Lower Their Electricity Bill

Ask your broker to market your account specifically on an energy-only rate structure where the TDU's demand charge passes through separately — this is often more transparent than a bundled rate that obscures the demand component. Pre-cooling your sanctuary to 68°F before service and letting temperature drift to 74°F during service can significantly reduce peak demand without discomfort. If your church has a fellowship hall or school building, bundling those ESI IDs with the main sanctuary into a single bid typically reduces the per-kWh rate.
