The Voluntary Fixed Price Option allows you to select a fixed price for the natural gas you will use for one year. It takes away the guesswork from your natural gas costs – typically the largest portion of your natural gas bill – helping protect you from the ups and downs of the energy market.
The fixed price applies only to the cost of the gas; regular delivery charges still apply. Your monthly bill will vary according to the amount of gas you use. The plan adds predictability but does not guarantee savings.
