Fixed electricity rates with no broker fee

Arbor links your locations, reviews your current rate, and moves you onto a fixed electricity supply that the supplier pays for, so there's no fee on your side. Setup is quick and nothing physical changes, though quotes expire the same day and some contracts carry early exit fees. Overall, a solid pick in energy-choice states, where rates are quoted privately.

Pros

  • Pros:Suppliers cover Arbor's fee, so the rate you're quoted isn't marked up
  • Pros:Fixed supply rates give you a bill you can plan around
  • Pros:Linking each business location takes about two minutes

Cons

  • Cons:Quoted rates expire at 11:59:59 PM Eastern on the day they're quoted
  • Cons:Signature requests arrive by email and lapse after five days
  • Cons:Some supplier contracts carry an early termination fee that would fall to you
Best for
  • Small business owners on a utility's default supply rate
  • Multi-location operators who want one view of every site
  • Owners who prefer a fixed rate over market swings

What is Arbor?

Arbor is a service that secures fixed electricity supply rates for businesses. It works in states with energy choice, where you can pick your supplier without changing your utility company. You link your locations, Arbor reviews your usage and current rate, then switches you to a custom plan and monitors the market before each plan expires.

You keep the same utility and the same bill. Arbor is paid by suppliers, not by you.

Verdict

Best for Small and multi-location business owners in energy-choice states who want a fixed electricity supply rate and don't want to pay a broker for it..

For a business stuck on its utility's default supply rate, Arbor offers a low-effort route to a fixed plan with no fee on your side. The catches are timing and commitment: sign the same day you're quoted, and check the termination terms before you lock in.

Strengths

  • Suppliers cover Arbor's fee, so the quoted rate isn't marked up
  • Fixed supply rates shield you from market swings
  • Location linking takes about two minutes per site

Watch-outs

  • Quoted rates expire at 11:59:59 PM Eastern on the day they're quoted
  • Signature requests arrive by email and expire after five days
  • Some supplier contracts include an early termination fee that becomes your responsibility

Pricing trap for Arbor: There's no cost to set up and suppliers pay Arbor, but a quoted rate is only good until 11:59:59 PM Eastern that day. If you end a supply contract early, any supplier-set termination fee is yours, so read the first page of the rate plan before signing.

Arbor Key Features

✨ Fixed Rates That Steady Your Bills

Market prices move, but your supply rate doesn't have to. Arbor locks in a fixed electricity supply rate so the amount you pay per kilowatt hour stays put. You get a bill you can plan around instead of one that shifts each month.

When your plan nears its end, Arbor lines up a new fixed rate before the old one expires.

✨ Link Once, and Arbor Takes Over

You connect each business location through a secure link, and Arbor reads your usage and what you pay today. From there it secures a custom plan built around your energy profile and handles the switch. The whole setup takes about two minutes, and every location stays in one account you can view at a glance.

✨ An Advisor Who Knows Your Setup

Behind the automation sits a real person. Your Arbor advisor reviews your locations, your usage, and your existing contract dates, then builds rates around them. If something comes up during your term, you reach out and Arbor works through it with the supplier.

Call centres aren't part of the picture.

✨ Nothing Physical Has to Change

Switching your supply rate doesn't touch your utility. You keep the same wires, the same meter, and the same crew if the power ever goes out. Your utility bill arrives as usual, with a different supply rate and a different supplier behind it.

✨

✨ Priced to Cost You Nothing

Suppliers pay Arbor when you're switched onto a rate plan, the way an insurance broker is paid by the carrier. Nothing is added to your bill, and the rate you're quoted is the rate you pay. Arbor only earns when you take a new rate, and it never sells your data.

Use Cases

🏪 One shop, tired of a creeping bill

You run a single shop and never switched suppliers. Link your location once, about two minutes, and Arbor checks what you pay today and how much energy you use. It then moves you onto a fixed plan.

Expected outcome: a steadier supply rate with no extra work.

🗂️ Owners running more than one site

You have two or more locations and want one clear view. Link each site, and Arbor tracks them all from a single account. Your advisor reads each location's usage and contract dates, then builds rates around them.

Tip: link every site early so no renewal slips past you.

📅 Getting ahead of a renewal date

Your current contract ends soon and you'd rather not ride the market. Arbor watches rates and lines up a new fixed plan before each one expires. Sign the same day you're quoted, since that rate holds only until 11:59:59 PM Eastern.

📩 Larger or awkward setups

You run many locations or have unusual usage. Arbor handles bigger accounts directly, outside standard sign-up, and builds a custom quote covering all of your sites. Email [email protected] and walk them through the details.

Pricing notes

Arbor for Business costs you nothing to get started — the electricity suppliers pay Arbor once you're switched onto a fixed-rate plan, so there's no monthly or annual fee. What you actually pay is the supply rate Arbor secures for your usage, and you see it before you sign anything.

Arbor for Business is free to set up and use. The electricity suppliers pay Arbor when you switch, so the savings on your supply rate stay with you.

Here's how it works in practice.

Arbor for Business

Price: $0 to you — suppliers pay Arbor Best For: Small and mid-sized businesses in states with energy choice, from a single cafe to a multi-location operator Other Features:

  • Fixed electricity supply rates that shield you from market swings
  • An Arbor advisor who reviews your locations, your usage and your current contract dates
  • Ongoing market monitoring, so a new fixed rate is lined up before each plan expires
  • Same utility, same meter, same bill — only the supply rate changes
  • Setup takes about two minutes

If you run a shop, a cafe or a small chain, this is the path for you. Link your locations once and Arbor checks what you pay today, how much energy you use, and where the savings are. You'll get an advisor who knows your business, not a call centre. Larger or more complicated accounts get handled directly instead of through standard sign-up, so ask if your setup is unusual. 🙂

Larger or Multi-Location Accounts

Best For: Businesses with many locations, unusual usage, or a contract that's hard to read Other Features:

When one account isn't enough, this route makes sense. Tell Arbor about your sites and your contract dates, and they'll build a quote around them. It's worth asking early if your renewal is close. Smaller businesses rarely need this — the standard sign-up covers most of them.

There's no free trial and no money-back window, because there's nothing to pay upfront. Instead, check the exit terms before you sign: some supplier contracts charge an early termination fee if you leave before the term ends, and those fees fall to you, not to Arbor. Arbor says it will always show you the applicable fees before switching your rate. Two timing details matter too. Quoted rates expire at 11:59:59 PM Eastern on the day they're quoted, and your emailed signature link expires after five days. Signing the same day keeps the rate you were shown.
