Choose Your Pricing Option
We offer three different pricing options for our agricultural customers. Learn more about each below, and choose which is best for you. Once you’ve decided, click on the blue “Lock in Your Price” button below for your custom rate.
FIXED RATE PER THERM OPTION
THE BASICS
Your monthly commodity price per therm stays the same for the whole term.
HOW IT WORKS
Natural gas market changes won't affect your bill. Your commodity price is set at the time of sale. Your bill is based on the commodity price that was set at the time of the sale multiplied by the total therms used each month.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
Natural gas market price changes won't affect your commodity charge on your bill. Your bill will change month to month based on your monthly usage. You only pay for what you use each month.
MARKET INDEX RATE OPTION
THE BASICS
Your commodity price will be set each month on the floating natural gas market plus a fixed adder per therm for the whole term.
HOW IT WORKS
Your commodity bill is calculated using the monthly natural gas index price plus a fixed adder per therm, multiplied by the total therms used each month.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
With this option your commodity rate can increase due to rising natural gas market prices, but you can also enjoy the benefit of decreasing natural gas market prices.
BLENDED SMART RATE OPTION
THE BASICS
Not sure if you want Fixed or Index pricing? The Blended option is the best of both worlds.
HOW IT WORKS
Your commodity price is split 50-50. Half your usage is billed on the Fixed price and half is billed on the Market Index price plus a fixed adder per therm.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
With this option, half your usage is protected from variability in natural gas costs, and with the other half you can take advantage of any decreasing natural gas market costs.
