A facility manager's map of Fairborn energy costs

Fairborn load is shaped by regional commercial services with retail corridors. That mix produces evening retail coincidence, which is why matrix small-commercial rates often misprice real sites.

Utility of record to verify: AES Ohio. Fairborn operators should map meters to buildings before requesting supplier prices—orphaned meters distort peaks.

Illustrative scale for a Fairborn-sized load (not a promise)

If a Fairborn site used about 1,700,000 kWh/year, a 0.15¢/kWh true supply improvement (after equalizing fees, bandwidth, and pass-throughs) is roughly $2,550/year before demand or rider effects.

Use this only to size attention—not as a forecast for your accounts.

Fairborn meter hygiene checklist (local)

  1. Export every active Fairborn account number exactly as billed by AES Ohio.
  2. Note service addresses—campuses hide multiple buildings under one customer name.
  3. Mark landlord vs tenant authority.
  4. Capture 12–24 months of kWh and kW.
  5. Flag renovations, shutdowns, or new electrification.
  6. Record contract end dates and any exclusive broker clauses.

Only after that inventory should you open a competitive process. Mechanics live here (not pasted): RFP guide.
