Local service context

An Aurora, Colorado, warehouse adding chargers should disclose its expanded load and verify the actual electric service tariff. For a warehouse, a single annual kWh total can conceal loading shifts, forklift charging and an office on a separate meter. Build a meter-to-use schedule before treating the entire property as one load. Disclose a new shift or cold room rather than asking suppliers to price a historical profile that is about to change.

Apply the Colorado eligibility rules

Colorado businesses generally receive electric service under the assigned utility’s regulated or local-provider arrangement rather than broad competitive retail supply. Verify the utility and tariff before assuming an alternative electric supplier can enroll the account.

Any natural gas transportation or supply opportunity must be confirmed under the local distribution utility’s account and tariff requirements. A commercial label or a large annual bill alone does not establish eligibility.

Account checks before requesting offers

For this Aurora account, resolve the service-territory and contract questions below before using a price comparison. The current invoice, exact address and account class provide the starting evidence.

  • Separate warehouse, office and outdoor-lighting meters and identify the legal account holder for each.
  • Provide charging schedules, shift times and new equipment dates alongside monthly usage and any interval data.
  • Confirm the exact service address, current bill and legal account holder before using a Aurora comparison; city boundaries and utility boundaries need not coincide.
