Power Synch Results: $308K+ in Documented Savings Across Six Wholesale Energy Procurement Events in a Single Day
The Bottom-Line Impact of Millions in New Revenue.
- Grayson Helm
Most enterprise energy buyers procure power one position at a time – weeks apart, across multiple RFPs, with limited visibility into whether they’re getting the best price on any of them.
This is the story of what happens when you do it differently.
In a single day, one institutional buyer ran six back-to-back wholesale energy procurement events through the Power Synch platform – covering six Pennsylvania utility zones, nearly 197,000 MWh, and the June 2026–July 2027 delivery period.
Every position cleared with full bid transparency. Every position delivered documented savings. Total result: $308,734 saved in one day.
At a Glance
Total Savings | $308,734 |
Procurement Events | 6 (run back-to-back in a single day) |
Volume Procured | 196,739 MWh |

Why This Is Different
Our first procurement results release showed what competitive bidding delivers across multiple events over time – $329K saved across seven events spanning PJM and ERCOT markets over several months.
This release shows something else: velocity.
- Six zones cleared in sequence – not weeks apart, but minutes apart
- One buyer, one sitting – portfolio-level execution, not piecemeal procurement
- Savings captured on every single position – from tight-spread zones to volatile ones
The question isn’t just “can competitive bidding save money?” – we’ve already answered that. The question is: “Can it scale across a real, multi-zone portfolio without slowing down?”
The answer is yes.

Standout: West Penn Power Zone
Volume | 31,000 MWh |

Nearly $100,000 saved on a single position – because the buyer could see every bid and choose the best one.
What the Data Reveals About Portfolio-Scale Procurement
Savings held up across all six zones – not just the volatile ones.
Zone Type | Spread Range | Takeaway |
Tight-spread zones (PECO, PPL, Penelec, Duquesne) | 2.4% – 3.5% | Even small per-MWh differences add up at volume. $20K+ saved on Duquesne Light alone – a position most traditional processes wouldn’t have shopped. |
Wider-spread zones (Met-Ed, West Penn Power) | 4.6% – 8.0% | Competitive tension surfaces pricing gaps that single-source models miss entirely. |
The throughput matters as much as the savings.
Running six zones in one day isn’t just about efficiency – it’s about capturing market conditions across your entire portfolio at a single point in time, rather than locking in positions weeks apart as markets shift.
The Procurement Environment Right Now
Enterprise energy buyers are under pressure from every direction:
Pressure | What It Means |
Soaring costs | ISOs across the country are seeing sustained price increases |
Grid volatility | Electrification, data center load growth, and renewable intermittency are widening spreads |
Regulatory uncertainty | Tariff risk makes long-term fixed contracts harder to justify |
Audit ready | Scope 2 reporting requires verifiable renewable sourcing – not just offsets |
CFO scrutiny | Procurement teams need documented, auditable savings – not estimates |
In this environment, the ability to move fast, see every bid, and lock in competitive pricing across a multi-zone portfolio isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic advantage.

Step | What Happens |
1. Define | Specify load, delivery period, zone, and product type for each position |

3. Watch | See every bid as it comes in. No hidden margins. Full transparency. |
4. Select | Choose the winning bid on each position based on real competition |
5. Settle | Execute through modern infrastructure – faster than traditional 30–45 day cycles |
6. Repeat | Clear your entire portfolio in a single session – as this buyer did |
What This Buyer Said
“Running six positions across six zones in a single day, with every supplier bid visible in real time, is not something our old process could ever have delivered. We could see exactly where the competitive price was on every position, and we captured it.“
– Senior Energy Engineer, Institutional Organization
See What This Looks Like for Your Portfolio
Your zones, load profile, and timing will be different – but the principle holds: competitive tension between qualified suppliers consistently delivers better pricing than traditional single-source or limited-bid models.
And now you can apply that discipline across your entire portfolio in a single sitting.
“Six zones, one buyer, one day, documented savings on every single position – this is what happens when you replace a phone-and-email RFP process with real-time competition.”
– Scott Helm, Founder & CEO, Power Synch
