When you buy energy matters as much as what you pay.
Discovery manages electricity and natural gas RFPs across all deregulated markets. Our competitive process and market timing strategy consistently deliver better rates than clients can achieve on their own.
— OUR APPROACH
Three factors that determine your energy price.
Competitive Suppliers
We ensure every competitive supplier in your market is invited to bid — not just the familiar names. A wider field means sharper pencils and better rates on every renewal.
Apples-to-Apples Bidding
We structure every RFP so bids are directly comparable. Suppliers bid the same product every renewal, which eliminates confusion, prevents scope creep, and keeps pressure on pricing.
Market Timing
By far the most important variable in energy pricing is when you contract. Our monthly market data, including futures analysis and buy/wait signals, drives the timing of every procurement strategy.
Multi-Market Expertise
We manage procurement across all deregulated electricity and natural gas markets nationwide. One team, one process, applied consistently regardless of how many states your portfolio spans.

Procurement Questions
What markets does Discovery manage procurement in?
We manage procurement in all deregulated electricity and natural gas markets across the United States. This includes major ISO markets like PJM, ERCOT, MISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, and SPP, as well as state-level deregulated markets in states like Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, and others. We track market structures continuously as deregulation evolves.
How does market timing actually improve pricing?
Energy commodity prices move significantly over time — natural gas prices in particular can swing 40–60% or more within a single year based on storage levels, weather, export volumes, and production data. The best fixed-price contract locked in at the wrong time can still cost significantly more than a contract executed at the right market moment. Our monthly data and active monitoring let us act on favorable windows rather than being forced into renewals by calendar deadlines.
Do you guarantee savings vs. our current rates?
We don’t guarantee specific pricing outcomes — energy markets are external variables that no advisor can control. What we guarantee is a transparent, rigorous process: full market participation, apples-to-apples bidding, and data-driven timing recommendations. Our 25-year track record and the savings in our client case studies reflect the outcomes of that process.
Can you manage both electricity and natural gas procurement?
Yes. We manage both commodities across all deregulated markets. Our Energy Risk Reports cover both electricity and natural gas markets, and our procurement process applies to both — competitive bidding, market timing, and contract management handled uniformly.
