Save Big Negotiating Maryland Manufacturing Electricity Renewals

Steps to Effective Negotiation

1. **Analyze Your Current Usage**: Review your past electricity bills to understand your consumption patterns. This data will help you negotiate better terms and identify potential areas for reducing usage.

2. **Research Suppliers**: Maryland's deregulated market allows you to choose from multiple suppliers. Compare their rates, contract terms, and customer reviews to find the best fit for your business.

3. **Leverage Market Trends**: Stay informed about energy market trends. Suppliers are more likely to offer discounts during periods of surplus supply or low demand².

4. **Negotiate Contract Terms**: Beyond price, consider contract length, renewal terms, and any additional fees. Longer contracts may offer stability, but shorter ones can provide flexibility to take advantage of future market dips.
