Chicago-based energy brokerage brings boots-on-the-ground procurement expertise to commercial real estate, hospitality, healthcare and manufacturing clients navigating the Northeast's fast-moving, state-by-state energy markets.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Energy CX, the data-driven energy brokerage redefining how businesses buy energy, today announced the opening of its New York City office at 2 Grand Central, giving Northeast businesses direct, local access to the cost-saving strategies that have made it one of the fastest-growing energy brokerages in the U.S.
Energy CX announced its regional expansion in April and put a dedicated team on the ground in one of the most complex and expensive energy markets in the country.
Team members based in New York support clients across commercial real estate, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing and other sectors. The team covers the full energy procurement process, from strategy and market-timed purchasing to ongoing account management and performance reporting, helping clients manage energy as an investment rather than a fixed line item.
Eric Hazen, Anthony LoPresti and Chip Evans from Cushman & Wakefield, a global real estate services company, represented Energy CX in the lease negotiations.
"We were thrilled to support Energy CX as they built a presence in one of the most competitive office markets in the country," said Hazen, managing director at Cushman & Wakefield. "Our team's deep knowledge of the Grand Central submarket and strong relationships with ownership allowed us to move quickly and secure a space for Energy CX at 2 Grand Central in Midtown Manhattan, a location that gives their growing New York team an address that matches their ambitions in the market."
Energy CX serves customers across more than 20 deregulated states in the U.S. The company, named one of the country's Top Energy Brokers, continues to grow its New York-based team. Sales professionals based in the New York City area who are passionate about supporting businesses and client solutions are encouraged to explore open positions at Energy CX.
"Our Northeast clients have trusted us with their energy strategy from a distance. Now they have a team on the ground, which means faster answers and better-timed decisions that protect their bottom line," said Miles Rice, co-CEO of Energy CX. "Energy markets in this region move fast and differ from state to state. Sitting across the table from a customer is still the best way to understand what they need and act on it before it costs them money."
For buyers with multisite portfolios spread across several states, timing and contract structure have a direct, dollar-for-dollar effect on budget certainty, and the Northeast's volatility leaves little room for error.
"Opening in New York puts us closer to our East Coast customers and marks an important step in continuing to build our presence in the region," said Scott Hammes, co-CEO of Energy CX. "We look forward to bringing our data- and technology-driven approach to energy procurement and advisory to even more businesses across the East Coast."
