Q. What is the difference between Fixed and Variable Pricing? Commonly Asked Questions

A: A fixed rate plan provides you with stability and peace of mind. Utility rates are variable rates that can change periodically. A fixed rate product may be higher or lower than utility rates, but, unlike variable rates offered by the utility, a fixed rate product will not change during the life of your contract. You are protected against unexpected and costly price increases and have greater control over the cost of your energy. Commonly Asked Questions

A: A variable rate plan allows you to purchase energy at market- based prices that change from month to month. While a variable rate is subject to monthly price increases or decreases, it may help you realize the lowest possible cost in the market. However, it also exposes you to possible price increases, and, unlike a fixed rate, a variable rate does not protect you against price volatility. This variable rate may be higher or lower than the utility rate. Commonly Asked Questions
