ARCHER CONTINGENT ENERGY RISK, LLC

What ARCHER CONTINGENT ENERGY RISK, LLC does

ARCHER CONTINGENT ENERGY RISK, LLC (doing business as Archer Energy) is a privately held Ohio LLC that operates as a retail energy supplier, reselling natural gas and electricity commodity to residential and commercial customers in Indiana, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. The company is licensed across 16+ utility territories — including NIPSCO, Centerpoint Energy Indiana, Citizens Energy, Black Hills Energy (Wyoming), Columbia Gas, Dominion Energy, Duke Energy Ohio (electric and gas), First Energy (Cleveland Illuminating, Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison), AEP (CSP and OPC), AES Dayton, and Rhode Island Energy — and physically delivers commodity through those regulated local distribution utilities while owning the customer relationship end-to-end. The company is centralized at a single home office in Powell, Ohio (9777 Fairway Dr), described internally as a "nimble team of energy experts," with no headcount disclosed.

Archer's product portfolio is organized around the core energy supply relationship, layered with named rate-plan sub-products and add-ons. For residential natural gas, it offers NIPSCO-branded fixed-rate plans (Energy Saver Lite 12-month at 48.9¢/therm, Select 24-month at 49.9¢/therm, and Prime 36-month at 50.9¢/therm with a $75 early termination fee) and a Black Hills Wyoming lineup spanning RateLock (fixed per-therm), Pass-Through (CIG index plus adder), ArcherPro (hybrid winter-fixed/summer-indexed), GreenGas (fixed-rate bundled with verified carbon offsets), and FlatBill+Cashback (predetermined monthly payment bundling distribution and commodity). Commercial electricity (Ohio electric utilities and Rhode Island Energy) and commercial natural gas (Duke Energy Ohio Gas and other territories) are quote-based rather than publicly listed. Carbon Offsets/Clean Energy Solutions and Energy Consulting (including out-of-territory brokering) sit alongside the core supply as add-on revenue streams.

The business model is subscription/recurring revenue from commodity pass-through (with thin gross margins typical of retail energy supply), supplemented by transaction-fee revenue from out-of-territory brokering and professional services revenue from energy consulting. Customer acquisition runs through a toll-free inside-sales line (844-795-7491), online self-serve signup for residential NIPSCO customers, email-driven intake for commercial and ESG leads, and state/utility-targeted SEO landing pages. Marketing and PR activity is limited to the company website and required regulatory disclosures (e.g., the 2026 Ohio Environmental Disclosure) rather than active campaigns. The company has operated continuously since 2014 with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or investors.

Core offering

Archer Energy is a retail natural gas and electricity supplier that resells commodity to residential and commercial customers across 16+ utility territories in Indiana, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Wyoming through licensed supplier relationships with local distribution utilities. Its offering spans fixed-rate, indexed, and hybrid pricing structures plus bundled verified carbon offsets, an energy consulting service, and out-of-territory energy brokering for clients outside its licensed areas.

Product overview

Archer Energy operates as a single integrated retail energy supply platform rather than a modular product suite: the core Archer Energy Plans offering resells electricity and natural gas to residential and commercial customers under each region's local utility in Indiana, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Wyoming, layered with the Carbon Offsets/Clean Energy Solutions add-on and the Energy Consulting professional service. The platform is delivered through a portfolio of named rate-plan sub-products — RateLock, Pass-Through, GreenGas, ArcherPro, and FlatBill+Cashback for natural gas (Wyoming), and Energy Saver Lite, Energy Saver Select, and Energy Saver Prime for NIPSCO residential — that sit on top of the core energy supply relationship and can be combined with the carbon-offset offering.
