Guaranteed Annual savings vs. Fixed Rate Plans
💡What’s the Difference?
Guaranteed Annual Savings Plan guarantees annual savings compared to your utility’s default supply rates. Your rate changes every month; you’ll always come out ahead every year.
Fixed Rate Plans lock in a set price per kWh or therm for the term of the contract — ideal for customers who want predictable natura gas and electricity rates month to month.
HINT: By providing your Utility Account Number, you the power to choose Custom Fixed Rates — personalized pricing based on your real energy profile. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all rate: the URate Tool looks at how you actually use energy and builds a quote just for you. If your usage is efficient, you’ll see lower pricing than the standard public offers — pricing and service you won’t find anywhere else online.
Green Energy vs. Standard Fixed Rates
URate offers both green energy and standard fixed rate options so you can have the power to choose what works best for your values and your budget.
Our green plans are powered by renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydro, helping you reduce your environmental impact while supporting clean energy growth. While green plans may cost a little more, they make a big difference for the planet.
