Natural Gas
Historically the natural gas market has been volatile with prices sometimes peaking at levels that threaten the existence of businesses and sometimes at very attractive low prices. By tracking history and knowing customer trends we can conclude: - Several key items cause price volatility: weather extremes, threats of or actual hurricanes
in the Gulf of Mexico, sudden or extreme changes in other energy prices and unexpected
or changing global events.
- Customers get complacent when prices are low and enjoy low variable prices with little
to no expectation that prices will rise.
- When prices rise suddenly customers often react in a panic and buy a fixed a rate
sometimes for up to five years.
RD Energy, through their exclusive natural gas partner Integrys Energy, provides several natural gas pricing plans designed to provide attractive pricing while also providing protection against volatile prices as well as provide low fixed price buying opportunities.
Integrys Energy offers: - Price Cap Plan. This means that the customer enjoys the benefits of a variable rate, but
has the protection that should the market spike unexpectedly or conditions change that
cause market rates to cycle up, the variable rate is capped so that the customer is
protected against the highest prices. - Price Target Plan. Many customers know there’s much about the energy market they
don’t know or understand. Most customers also don’t have the time to track fixed prices
throughout the year. Customers often feel that they miss out on the best buying
opportunities by not tracking the market and making extra phone calls. The new
variable rate with a fixed price target plan provides the customer the comfort of knowing
that they won’t miss the low fixed price this time. Integrys sets a fixed price target that
when and if triggered will provide customers a very attractive low year-round fixed price. - Fixed Winter Rate/Variable Rate Summer. This program is designed to provide summer
rates at variable prices when usage and prices are historically low. Integrys will look for
good time to buy the winter fixed rate prior to the beginning of the heating season. This
program protects customers against volatile winter prices when usage is greatest and
provides a great level of short-term risk protection while not being locked into an
extended fixed price. - Anuual Fixed Rate. It’s a fact that many customers like the idea of setting their fixed
price and forgetting about it for the year. The Integrys fixed price is always extremely
competitive as compared to other supplier fixed prices reflected on the PUCO Apples
to Apples price comparison chart. If customers like fixed prices, Integrys Energy is the
place to start.
