What Is a Commercial Electricity Supplier?

The 1999 Electric Customer Choice and Competition Act created an avenue for more electricity suppliers to enter the market. Maryland residents and businesses gained choices to meet their energy needs.

Choosing your supplier gives you the ability to shop for rates, terms, and other services that most benefit your business. Shipley Energy offers some of the most competitive commercial electricity prices in Maryland, making us a great choice for businesses in our service areas. Once you have your rate and terms picked out, we deliver your power through your local distribution company.

The Impact of Deregulation on Maryland’s Energy Industry

Prior to deregulation, Maryland businesses paid for energy from utility companies in their area, regardless of the quality of service or rate.

The 1999 Electric Customer Choice and Competition Act changed how residential and commercial customers pay for energy by allowing more providers to enter the market, thus creating competition.

Shipley Energy has been a helpful ally for Maryland’s businesses, providing reliable electricity at a competitive rate. Our company has over 90 years of experience in the energy industry, meaning we have the knowledge and expertise to run efficient electricity procurement teams. Our overhead costs are low, solidifying us as a top commercial energy supplier in Maryland. Choose Shipley Energy to make the most of Maryland’s energy industry.

Multiple Pricing Plans

Shipley Energy allows commercial customers in Maryland to choose a payment term that best suits their organizations. Access some of the most affordable commercial electricity rates in the state with one of Shipley Energy’s rate offerings:

  • Fixed: Our fixed-rate pricing option gives your business one flat rate for electricity usage that lasts for the duration of the agreement. A fixed rate enables businesses to plan budgets with certainty.
  • Block and Index: The cost of electricity is lower some months than others, so using a block and index strategy means you can lock in a “block”, or portion, of your electricity at a fixed rate, while letting less risky months float with the market. This can let your company recognize and capitalize on saving opportunities.

My favorite thing about Shipley Energy (Energy Objective) is working with a local, well-respected company. They look out for us by contacting us about renewal rates when the market is low, rather than waiting until my contract has ended and I’m out of time.

I have been a Shipley Energy (Energy Objective) customer since 2008. A few years back, Tim Booth took over our commercial accounts. I am very happy that Tim is on our side all the time. I have never met anyone who can provide customer service the way he does. We are in the hospitality business owning several hotels and a sports complex so we know what customer service means. Tim is not just finding us the best deal but also audits our invoices to make sure the rates are correct, helps us in understanding the market, and works through the complex contracts for us. He is always a supportive and very knowledgeable fellow. We have saved money in the six figures so far. We will always stick to our favorite company and especially our great friend Tim. I truly thank Tim Booth for the best help we can get for all energy needs.   No one else can give the best rates and services like Shipley (Energy Objective). Crowne Plaza Harrisburg, Lancaster Host Resort and The Coliseum wish you the best.

I wanted to let you know that Shipley did fantastic this season. As we wrap up our season THIS weekend (yay!!) I can’t explain to you how nice it was not to worry about propane. So much time was saved on my part not having to check tanks prior to a weekend, and Saturday night to make sure we’d make it through Sunday. What a relief. Thanks again!

Reliable propane supply is essential for us to be able to provide a comfortable and healthy environment for our turkeys.  With Shipley prompt delivery and service is always just a call away with the ability to talk to a real person and not just a answering service.  The remote tank monitoring with automatic delivery is a easy way to ensure you never run out of propane.  Shipley is the only propane supplier that I recommend to my turkey growers.

Shipley is a very important part of making Dottie’s a success. They provide us with Non Ethanol 87,90,93 grade fuel which is a huge draw for our loyal non ethanol customers. Shipley also provides us with Kerosene, Off Road, and On Road Diesel at competitive prices and a timely manner. Shipley helps us most by managing our delivery, watching the market, and deciding when the best time to purchase a load would be to capture the most savings. This is particularly important in these volatile times in which we are working.

“We decided to go with Shipley Energy 10 years ago because of the need to hand this task off to a reputable company that specialized in the field. Our staff is very busy with projects in house and we needed someone (local) whom we could rely on to manage both electric and Natural gas for the long- term future. What stands out the most with our relationship / partnership with Shipley is the open communication between the companies. Shipley is constantly monitoring our usages to protect us from unanticipated surprises in the extreme heat or cold temperatures of our seasons. Shipley has well documented usages for our facility and shares that information as we move throughout the seasons and contract process. Shipley strives to uncomplicate the process and is open for conversations as required. I would suspect that If you are looking for a new supplier or are unhappy with your current supplier you owe it to yourself to visit with their sales staff.”

“Springwood Hospitality began our partnership with Shipley Energy in 2013 and at that time, we were managing four hotels. By the end of 2019, our portfolio will have 13 hotels, with more opening close behind. Shipley Energy has successfully helped us manage our portfolio’s energy costs during this period of growth. They conduct regular check-ins with our team and monitor industry trends to give us the information we need to make educated decisions about our energy agreements. We have a dedicated account manager that we can go to for any questions or concerns that we have throughout the year and during our renewal they are responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend that other hotel management companies’ partner with Shipley Energy if they would like a peace of mind surrounding their energy costs.”

"TecPort Partners elected to do its most recent electric supply shopping through EnergyObjective, utilizing their impressive reverse auction platform. The company was able to exceed our expectations and lock in our PPL supply at a pleasantly low 18-month price. We saw wide supplier participation, a competitive back-and-forth bidding process, and complete transparency from start to finish. The contracting process was smooth and there were no surprises. The guidance provided by the reps at EnergyObjective regarding the auction process, market timing, contract lengths, and general electricity knowledge was helpful and appreciated. We at TecPort Partners would recommend the EnergyObjective reverse auction for any electricity user looking for straight talk, competitive pricing, and overall ease in the process."

What Factors Influence Maryland’s Commercial Electricity Rates?

Shipley Energy wants to ensure our current and future customers understand the factors that influence their electrical bills. If you have a block and index price plan or are enrolling in a new fixed plan, Maryland commercial energy rates will be subject to change depending on:

  • Supply and demand: Energy companies increase rates when demand outmatches the supply.
  • Power plant overhead costs: Energy providers set rates to cover the costs of operating their facilities.
  • Transmission and distribution expenses: Rates account for the cost of transmitting and distributing electricity after procurement.
  • Seasonal fluctuations: Customers use more electricity in the summer to cool their buildings. The increase leads to higher prices.
  • Weather patterns: Storms and natural disasters can complicate a supplier’s ability to transmit electricity to the utility.
  • Location: Most power plants are in southern or northwestern Maryland. Businesses that reside further from power plants often pay more for transmission and distribution, since it has further to go.
