LOW RISK ENERGY PRODUCT vs HIGH RISK ENERGY PRODUCT:

The pie chart shows the components associated with the electricity product that you purchase.

When you procure your electricity you have the option of purchasing a Fixed Product that includes all the slices of the pie... You pay a premium for that low risk product because it shields you from market fluctuations.

While Index Product is popular with companies whose load is more equipment dependent than people dependent, an index plan can allow you to save on electricity by operating during off-peak times and shutting down during peak usage periods.

The better you know your business, the better you can adjust to changes in the market.

Variable Products allow you to purchase the electricity at a raw or wholesale cost, but when you do that, you secure a rate for the energy alone (the largest slice); but the other components vary with the market and the variable cost is passed to the consumer... High Risk Product.

There are plans that allow you to reduce the risk by passing specific components as oppose to passing all of them to the end user.

Fixed Products are lower risk, which is why you pay a premium, while Index Product typically saves the end user more annually.
