Fixed Rate per Therm
Your gas bill contains three main sections: commodity charge, distribution charge, and taxes. The fixed rate per therm pricing plan ensures that your commodity charge remains exactly the same each month.

Fixed rate per therm benefits you if:
  • You need to protect youself against all price spikes
  • Market prices increase after you lock in a price
  • You want full price protection
  • You want to easily estimate what you expect to spend on gas for the year

Fixed rate per therm may not benefit you if:

  • You are able to handle a commodity price that is different each month
  • Market prices fall after you lock in a price
  • You are willing to take risk to try and get a better price

 

Market Index Rate

This rate is the polar opposite of the fixed rate per therm plan. Under the market index rate, your commodity cost will vary each month. What you pay is directly correlated with price movement in the gas market. Our market index rate is based on the CIG (Colorado Interstate Gas) index.

Market Index Rate benefits you if:

  • You can "handle" the risk of the market
  • Market prices fall after the election period
  • You have a high summer burn rate vs winter (gas prices are generally lower in the summer and higher in the winter)

Market Index Rate may not benefit you if:

  • You are not able to handle market price spikes
  • Prices rise after the election period
  • You burn much more gas in the winter than in the summer

 

Blended Rate

This rate is a combination of a fixed price and market index rate. With our blended rate, 50% of you gas will be sold to you at a fixed price, while 50% is sold at the current CIG market index.

Our Blended Rate benefits you if:

  • You want the price protection of a fixed rate, but want to pay less than the Fixed Rate per Therm plan
  • Market prices are very volatile

Our Blended Rate may not benefit you if:

  • Prices drop after the election period and stay low
