Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) rates are fully regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and are set according to approved formulas and market costs. IOUs cannot adjust pricing to compete with or match offers made by Volt Energy LLC. We leverage a range of suppliers, market strategies, and wholesale rates to secure the most optimal energy for your business—whether your priority is cost, sustainability, or both.

That means:

• We can offer lower and more stable pricing
• We structure procurement strategies tailored to your goals
• We help you meet sustainability and budget targets

As public agencies, CCAs retain surplus revenue (effectively profits) to invest in long-term infrastructure, green initiatives, and staffing—not always directly tied to reducing customer bills. Many CCAs maintain extensive staffing and high salaries. While investing in local renewables and sustainability initiatives sounds noble, for large commercial clients the reality is this: These projects are funded by margins generated from customer bills. You have the right to decide whether your energy dollars fund those projects or stay focused on your business's financial and operational goals.

By contrast, Volt Energy LLC operates with a lean, market-driven model focused entirely on delivering competitive pricing, contract flexibility, and tailored solutions for your business. Our priority is simple: to help you optimize energy costs, manage risk, and align your energy strategy with your financial and operational goals—not fund external programs or large overhead.

If your focus is direct savings and having energy work for your business—not someone else's—you'll find the flexibility and control with an Volt Energy LLC is unmatched. No pooled decisions. No blanket rates. Just what works best for your business.

Volt Energy LLC is a registered Electric Service Provider (ESP) delivering competitively priced and strategically procured electricity to non-residential customers across California. Volt Energy LLC has the flexibility to source power from a variety of suppliers, contracts, and market strategies.

Your utility continues to own and operate the poles and wires—they still handle delivery, maintenance, and emergency response. The only change is that Volt Energy LLC personally procures your electricity, giving you better rates and tailored strategies without affecting reliability or safety.

Not at all. Switching to Volt Energy LLC is seamless and fully coordinated with your utility. There's no downtime or service interruption, and our team manages all regulatory and technical filings for you.

Your utility remains responsible for maintaining the lines, responding to outages, and delivering power physically to your location. CAISO operates the grid to ensure balance and reliability. However, who supplies that energy and how it's priced—that's where you gain control with Volt Energy LLC.

Unfortunately, no. Residential customers are currently ineligible to enroll in Direct Access (DA) due to CPUC Decision D.10-02-022. However, we proudly serve commercial, industrial, agricultural, and government accounts.
