FIXED PRICE
Your rate stays constant, making it easier to plan your energy costs.
Budget your energy expenses with a competitive, fixed rate. All businesses can protect their budget from electricity rate hikes with fixed price electricity from American Power Supply, LLC. We work to analyze your electricity consumption and offer you fixed rate options from competing suppliers for the length of your contract agreement. We make it easy to compare our rate quote with your current utility provider.
Your natural gas and electric service will continue uninterrupted from your existing utility. Your electricity supply is still delivered to your business by the local distribution company or utility in your service area. This local utility will continue to provide maintenance, read your meter and respond to emergency service calls. The utility company will continue to deliver your energy, we are helping you just with purchasing the supply.
VARIABLE RATES
Your rate is based off a margin or index and moves up and down as the market fluctuates.
Many clients who anticipate a poor or troubled economy usually choose a variable rate in the belief that the market may move towards a more favorable position. Some of our variable rate products are from suppliers who follow the utility indexes, but charge a smaller margin than the utility company themselves. The benefit here allows for a price that is typically 3% to 5% cheaper than the utility’s current pricing and offers the client the flexibility of no contractual limitations. Variable rates are typically on a month-to-month agreement only.
AGGREGATION
This method is the grouping of numerous businesses and organizations into one proposal, which allows for economies of scale and better volume pricing.
Each organization has their own individual contract and is not bound by default or liability for the other members in the aggregation. We have been able to realize below market pricing for clients in this manner on a regular basis and is one of our specific areas of expertise. A client in an aggregation would be required for a longer waiting period to be able to build or complete the aggregation prior to prices being set.
Utility rates are regulated by a government board. Even with regulation in place, there is no guarantee that the utility rates set by the board are the lowest rates available. The utility is required to pass fair market costs along to you, the consumer. Marketers benefit by this and have the flexibility to operate more efficiently – buying their electric and gas supplies when market is less expensive, then passing those savings on to their customers.
