Lower Price

• P³, as an aggregator, attracts a greater number of bidders

• Size allows P³ better leverage, resulting in lower supplier margin

• Diversity of members’ loads also lowers prices, as suppliers are able to meet our total load requirements with less physical generation capacity

• Ability to buy sophisticated products further lowers supplier margin while allowing for NO cross- subsidization

• P³ will secure natural gas supply at a discounted rate against the best wholesale prices and this discount will be passed through in full to P³ members in the form of lower electricity prices

• Low Consulting Fee- P³ is the lowest in the industry, especially compared to individual brokers

Greater Negotiating Strength
Greater purchasing power results in better contract terms than members can get on their own.


Ability to Develop and Implement a Sophisticated Long Term Buying Strategy

The typical strategy of buying all power for a specific term at single point in today’s extremely volatile market is risky. P3’s size makes an active, long term purchasing plan both cost effective and achievable.
