Cherry Hill, New Jersey: commercial energy account guide

Local service context

A Cherry Hill office should verify the utility for each commodity and disclose hybrid occupancy and after-hours conditioning. An office with hybrid attendance can have a different operating pattern from its prior lease year. Compare occupied hours, weekend HVAC and server or network equipment that runs continuously. A low annual energy total does not show whether a few concentrated cooling intervals drive demand-related costs.

Apply the New Jersey eligibility rules

New Jersey’s retail-choice framework permits customers to select an eligible third-party electricity supplier. The utility remains responsible for distribution. Confirm the utility and current basic generation or supplier arrangement, then establish the components included in the new offer.

Natural gas supply may also be purchased through an eligible third-party supplier. Keep gas and electric usage, delivery charges and contract commitments separate even when the same organization manages both procurements.

Account checks before requesting offers

For this Cherry Hill 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.

• Record actual occupied hours and HVAC schedules rather than assuming the office closes when employees leave.
• Distinguish tenant-suite meters from common-area systems and identify who controls the supply agreement.
• Confirm the exact service address, current bill and legal account holder before using a Cherry Hill comparison; city boundaries and utility boundaries need not coincide.
