Heavy load. Tight margins. An energy market moving against you.
Texas is powering the global AI revolution — and manufacturers are paying for it. As data centers flood the grid, electricity demand is set to nearly double over the next decade. We secure long-term fixed-rate contracts that give you cost certainty without solar, batteries or complex infrastructure.

Texas manufacturers are at risk unless they act now
AI and data centers are eating the grid
Data centers already use 2–3% of global electricity and are expected to consume 10% or more in Texas by 2030. Massive new power draws are inflating wholesale prices and shifting supply away from manufacturers.
Indexed contracts are a gamble
ERCOT market forecasts show potential summer price peaks exceeding 400% of today’s rates. On an indexed contract, that risk lands on your P&L in the same month it happens.
Demand charges and 4CP exposure
For heavy load, delivery is its own battle: demand charges price your single worst 15-minute interval, and 4CP transmission charges are set by your draw during four summer peaks. Neither shows up on a rate comparison site.
Cost certainty from contract structure, not capital projects
Fixed-term power & gas contracts
Tailored to your load profile, market conditions and operational needs — 24–48 month terms and longer where the curve justifies it, secured before the next leg up.
Wholesale pricing access
Our scale gives you access to custom terms not available on the open market, priced across 30+ top-tier suppliers rather than one renewal letter.
Load factor optimization
High-load-factor operations earn better pricing. We analyze your load shape and shift what can move, so suppliers price you as the steady load you are.
4CP and peak management
We flag likely coincident-peak windows and design the operational response, so summer transmission charges stop being a surprise line item the following year.
Bill validation & demand-charge audits
We check TDSP delivery charges, meter data and invoice math in-life — and pursue reclaims where you’ve been overcharged.
Zero capex, zero disruption
No solar, no batteries, no infrastructure projects required. We handle procurement, onboarding and bill validation with full visibility and zero disruption to operations.
5 MW steel manufacturer: $1.2M+ saved in 2025 alone
A Texas steel manufacturer running a 5 MW, high-load-factor operation was on an indexed contract with high exposure to market spikes. UPG secured a 5-year fixed contract in early 2024 — before the data-center demand wave hit pricing.
“Fixing prices with UPG insulated us from the chaos around data center growth. We're now planning expansion with cost certainty.” CFO, Texas-based steel manufacturerRead the full case study
The structure
- Load: 5 MW, high load factor
- Previous contract: indexed, high exposure to market spikes
- UPG secured a 5-year fixed contract in early 2024
- Result: over $1.2M saved vs market pricing in 2025 alone
- No solar, no batteries, no capex
