THE VARIABLE DIFFERENCE
Hedging: Suppliers buy your projected energy usage in advance and you may
be locked into that plan until your contract is up. If the contract is broken
you may be subject to cancellation fees.
Contract and credit check. Restrictions.
With fixed rates if prices fall you will be stuck with that fixed price.
Prices vary from month-to-month with no locked in price.
No cancellation fees and no long term agreements. Freedom.
And, customers can switch providers whenever they wish. You
are never locked into a contract.
