**Commercial businesses across the United States are facing sharp and consistent increases in energy costs, according to reporting from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Forbes, Fox News, Harvard Law School, and CNN Business. David Anthony, founder of Energy Agent, explains that the rising cost of electricity affects billion-dollar corporations and small regional chains alike — regardless of political affiliation or geographic location. “Energy doesn’t pick sides,” Anthony says, “but it is picking apart commercial budgets.”
The EIA reports that electricity prices have been rising faster than inflation since 2022, placing additional strain on commercial and industrial customers who already face demand charges and capacity costs. Major news outlets have documented the same trend, pointing to increased grid demand, AI data centers, infrastructure expansion, and fuel volatility as key drivers of higher rates.
To address this growing challenge, Energy Agent offers two solutions: BEAP, the Billing Energy Agent Program, which bids electricity or natural gas supply rates in deregulated states with no installation or fees; and OTEA, the Optimizer Technology Energy Agent, a physical product available nationwide that reduces electrical waste, eliminates harmonic distortion, improves power optimization and correction, protects equipment, lowers peak strain, and qualifies as a tax-deductible upgrade. Together, these tools help businesses reduce what they pay and what they waste.**
