Jaken Energy
Buy energy with
your eyes open.
Hotel Energy Broker is an educational resource from Jaken Energy, a commercial energy brokerage owned by Jason Taken.

Start with the property.
A hotel’s best purchasing decision depends on more than the advertised price per kilowatt-hour. Service territory, usage, seasonal occupancy, credit, and the agreement’s allocation of risk all belong in the comparison.
Jaken Energy helps owners and operators read bills, organize usage information, compare competitive supplier offers, and plan renewals. Where supplier choice is unavailable, the useful questions shift to tariffs, operating peaks, and efficiency.
Read the agreement.
Jason’s legal background informs the brokerage’s contract-first approach. Material change, bandwidth, pass-through, renewal, and termination provisions should be considered alongside price. A rate comparison is useful only when the products being compared cover the same costs and commitments.
Ask how compensation works.
Supplier-paid compensation can be included in an energy price. A fee conversation should establish the per-unit amount or agreed fee, its total-dollar implications, and any differences between suppliers and contract lengths. Read how energy brokers get paid.
Use the resource carefully.
Articles teach purchasing and operating methods. Examples are illustrative, with assumptions identified. Market rules and prices change; the cited source and the account’s governing agreement take priority over a general explanation.
