NYMEX Plus (Variable) Solution

NYMEX Plus contracts allow you to secure a fixed-price for non-energy costs (delivery) while keeping a variable market rate for the commodity portion. You may elect to convert a portion of your load into a fixed-commodity price, spreading risk over multiple layers while the rest of the load remains market-based.

Ideal if you’re able to assume the risk associated with market price volatility as it leaves you open to benefit from market lows.
Caution – commodity prices are tied to the NYMEX trading exchange. Therefore, any unhedged commodity portion is subject to price fluctuations – including unanticipated price spikes.

Fixed Price Solution

Fixed price contracts provide a set price per MMBtu for the term of the contract.

Ideal if you’re looking for budget certainty with minimal price risk.
Caution – price and budget certainty comes at a cost. Suppliers add a risk premium for the risk they assume
