What we do
For energy-intensive manufacturers, the difference between a good and bad energy position shows up directly in cost of production. Harper Advisory advises industrial buyers on commodity risk management, energy contract negotiations, demand response program participation, and operational strategies to minimize delivered energy cost.
We support new and expanded load interconnections end to end — working with utilities and ISOs to navigate interconnection processes, tariff design, and commercial terms. In a market environment defined by load growth and tightening supply, interconnection strategy has become one of the most consequential commercial decisions an industrial company makes.
Our team's background includes running energy procurement and demand response operations inside major steel producers, creating and managing a load-serving entity and curtailment service provider in PJM, and negotiating retail and wholesale energy contracts across ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, IESO, and CENACE.
How engagements typically run
Engagements range from ongoing procurement and risk advisory to focused projects: contract RFPs and negotiations, demand response program selection and enrollment strategy, long-term price forecasting tied to a client's actual interval profile, economic development rate analysis, and interconnection support for expansions and greenfield sites.
Representative work is described on the Experience section of our home page.
