COMMERCIAL ENERGY ADVISORY - TEXAS

Same assets. Better energy performance.

Most commercial portfolios are managed with specialists. Energy should be no different. Fourth Day Energy reviews contracts, usage exposure and market timing for commercial property groups and operators across Texas.

FOCUS

Commercial accounts with meaningful energy spend

APPROACH

Usage-led analysis, not quote-led selling

MARKET

ERCOT - CenterPoint, Oncor, AEP, TNMP and Lubbock Power & Light

COMMERCIAL ONLY

Where energy decisions quietly get expensive.

Most businesses are shown a rate sheet. That leaves out the operating context that actually drives cost, risk, and contract fit.

Usage shape and interval behavior

How your business actually consumes power across time, demand, and seasonality.

Capacity tag exposure

Charges and operational blind spots that many buyers only notice after the contract is already signed.

Contract structure and market timing

How term, timing, and supplier positioning affect the quality of the decision beyond the headline rate.

Your energy bill tells a story. We review the bill, analyze the usage, and build a profile around how the business really uses power.

Approach

THE PROBLEM

Most energy decisions are made with incomplete information.

A rate comparison tells you the price. It doesn't tell you whether the contract fits the account. For commercial real estate owners and operators, that gap creates avoidable cost exposure: often invisible until after the contract is signed.

What most buyers get

A rate, a term, and a recommendation with limited explanation of how the account behaves or where the risk really sits.

What gets missed

01

Usage behavior gets ignored

Load profile, peak demand timing and interval data determine contract fit more than any headline rate. Most buyers never see this analysis.

02

Billing complexity hides the real cost

Rate class thresholds, demand ratchets and capacity tag exposure can quietly inflate operating costs across a portfolio. These don't show up in a quote comparison.

03

Timing is treated as an afterthought

In a volatile market like ERCOT, when you buy matters as much as what you buy. Renewal windows and contract structure should be coordinated, not reactive.

What we do

SERVICES

A more disciplined approach to commercial energy procurement.

We work with commercial property groups, portfolio managers and multi-site operators across Texas to build energy strategies grounded in account analysis, not rate sheets.

PROFILE ANALYSIS

Usage and Billing Analysis

We review the bill and pull interval data to understand how the account actually uses power: load shape, peak behavior, billing demand structure and rate class fit. This is the foundation of every recommendation we make.

  • Bill and rate class review

  • Demand and billing structure assessment

  • Capacity tag and TDSP cost identification

  • 15-minute interval data analysis

MARKET POSITIONING

Contract Strategy and Market Timing 

We help commercial accounts evaluate contract structure and timing in the context of current ERCOT market conditions, not just when a renewal happens to land. The goal is a defensible buying decision, not the fastest quote turnaround.

  • Timing and structure guidance

  • Supplier comparison with context

  • Risk-aware recommendation framing

  • ERCOT forward market positioning

ONGOING OVERSIGHT

Portfolio Oversight and Renewal Coordination

For ownership groups managing multiple locations or varied renewal timelines, we provide ongoing oversight: coordinating renewals, monitoring contract positions and keeping strategy aligned as the portfolio evolves.

  • Multi-site renewal coordination

  • Portfolio-level contract review

  • Ongoing account monitoring

  • Acquisition and refinance energy review

Clients

WHO WE SERVE

Built for commercial operators with real energy exposure.

Fourth Day Energy works exclusively with commercial accounts in Texas. No residential, no small business: just operators, ownership groups and portfolio managers where the financial impact justifies a more strategic process.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Owners, developers and portfolio managers

Energy is an operating expense that affects NOI, debt service coverage, and ultimately asset value. We work with CRE groups to review contract positions across the portfolio, flag billing exposure, and coordinate renewals in a way that supports broader portfolio objectives — including during acquisition, refinance, or disposition.

  • Retail centers and mixed-use assets

  • Industrial, flex and office portfolios

  • Acquisition due diligence support

  • Refinance and loan maturity  energy review

MULTI SITE OPERATORS

Businesses with scale or operational complexity

For companies with multiple locations, energy decisions made independently at each site create inconsistency, misaligned terms, and missed leverage. We bring the full account into view and build a coordinated strategy across the portfolio.

  • Hospitality and restaurant groups

  • Healthcare and service operators

  • Regional multi-location businesses

  • Franchise and owner-operator groups

HIGHER-USAGE ACCOUNTS

Single-site accounts with meaningful spend

Not every client is a portfolio. For single-location businesses with higher energy spend, the same analytical approach applies: reviewing the full bill, understanding usage behavior, and making sure the contract structure matches how the business actually operates.

  • Manufacturing and industrial users

  • Large office and professional tenants
  • Cold storage and food service operations
  • Any account where energy is a real cost driver

WHY FOURTH DAY ENERGY

Built differently than a traditional broker.

We're not a rate shop. Fourth Day Energy is structured as an advisory practice: built around relationships, analysis, process and long-term account value.

Usage-first methodology

We analyze how the account actually uses power before making any recommendation. Most brokers skip this step entirely.

Ongoing advisory

Energy strategy doesn't end when the contract is signed. We stay engaged across renewals, portfolio changes, and market shifts.

Fully independent

No supplier relationships that influence recommendations. Our compensation comes through standard market structures and our incentive is account fit, not commission maximization.

ERCOT Market Expertise

We work exclusively in the Texas deregulated market. CenterPoint and Oncor territory knowledge is built into every analysis we run.

Interval Data Capability

We pull and interpret 15-minute interval usage data directly, giving us visibility into load behavior that changes what the right contract looks like.

Transparent process

Every recommendation includes the reasoning behind it. You see the data, the options, and the trade-offs, not just a rate sheet.

Process

HOW IT WORKS

A focused process. No obligation to start.

Send the bill. We review the account. You get a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it.

01

Send the bill

Forward your current electricity bill, contract details, or account information. That's the starting point, no lengthy intake form required.

02

We review the account

We assess your usage behavior, billing structure, contract position, and rate class fit to identify where the account may be exposed, misaligned or leaving value on the table.

03
