Long-term energy planning

Fix now. Save long. No infrastructure required.

Texas is powering the AI revolution, and the grid bill is landing on businesses. We analyze your load shape, seasonal usage and tolerance for risk, then lock a 24–48 month strategy that turns market volatility into a number your CFO can plan around.

What a UPG long-term plan includes

We're not just here to sell you a contract. We're here to build a plan.

24–48 month fixed terms

Long enough to ride out the volatility ERCOT is pricing in, short enough to adapt when your business changes. The term is a decision, not a default.

Custom strategy from your load shape

We analyze your load shape, seasonal usage and tolerance for risk — then build the strategy around your operation, not a generic rate card.

Wholesale-scale terms

Our scale gives you access to custom terms not available on the open market — for power and gas — negotiated across 30+ top-tier suppliers.

Billing audits, in-life

A long contract is only as good as its enforcement. We validate bills against the locked terms for the life of the deal and reclaim what does not belong.

Performance tracking & renewal alerts

Contract performance tracked against the market, with renewal planning that starts early — so the next fix is bought with the market in view.

No solar, no batteries, no capex

Keep your capital focused on growth, not infrastructure. Long-term price stability comes from disciplined buying, not equipment on your roof.

The market is moving

The case for locking in, in four numbers

Data centers, electrification and grid investment are reshaping ERCOT. Businesses that wait inherit the cost.

From load shape to locked-in budget

A long-term fix is a strategy decision. We treat it like one.

  1. 1

    Load-shape & risk review

    Your usage history, seasonal pattern and appetite for risk, mapped against where the ERCOT market sits today.

  2. 2

    Strategy in writing

    Term length, fixed vs block & index, start dates and budget impact — modeled and recommended in writing.

  3. 3

    Execute the fix

    We price the strategy across 30+ suppliers. Forward-start contracts begin when your current one ends — no early termination fee.

  4. 4

    Track, audit, renew

    Contract performance tracking, billing audits and renewal alerts for the whole term. The next decision is planned, not rushed.

Case study

"Fixing prices with UPG insulated us from the chaos around data center growth."

The CFO of a Texas steel manufacturer moved a 5 MW high-load-factor operation from an indexed contract to a 5-year fix we structured in early 2024. The result: $1.2M+ saved versus market pricing in 2025 alone — and expansion planned with cost certainty.
