Index Priced Strategies for Natural Gas

Our Index Priced (market-based) Product for natural gas provides your supply at a competitive rate while offering flexibility to leverage market changes. We'll work with you to devise an index priced plan that shifts into a fixed price plan once the market reaches the agreed-upon price or terms.

With the Index Priced Product, you can avoid the risks of locking in at a high price while gaining the flexibility to ride the wholesale market in pursuit of competitive pricing and advantageous buys. This flexibility makes an index priced strategy the ideal choice for businesses with a higher risk appetite, the ability to control consumption when pricing peaks or a need for consumption flexibility.

Our contracts are typically available in terms of up to 36 months. However, the terms and conditions of contracts may vary based on regional legislation and your individual load profile.

Is the Index Priced Product right for your business?

• We think current high price levels (for a longer-term deal) will come down.
• We're willing to ride the market for the short term in anticipation of a market dip, when we can lock in a more competitive rate with a fixed place plan.
• We have a substantial level of flexibility in our month-to-month budget.
• We have a higher tolerance for the risk of market fluctuations or price spikes.
• We can control our consumption patterns to avoid high usage during price peaks.
• We expect uncertainty in our upcoming consumption patters due to process realignment, retrofits or other operational factors.
• Our business is in a Direct Energy Business service area.
• We require commercial or industrial service (not residential).
