Fixed Quantity | Direct Energy Business

Predictability is important to you.
Fixed Quantity lets you budget with confidence.

Be strategic - Lock in your core energy needs with the flexibility to purchase additional natural gas at the market price.

How does Fixed Quantity work?

Our Fixed Quantity strategy allows you to structure your natural gas purchases, so the core requirements are locked into a fixed price. Leaving the open volume subject to the market creates flexibility to manage changes within your business operations or capitalize on shifts in market pricing.

You can take a moderate approach by blending the benefits of both fixed and market-based energy plans, minimizing the negative impacts of each.

Features and benefits:

  • Hedge your core natural gas requirements with a blocked volume at a fixed price.
  • Reduce price uncertainty allowing for more accurate budget projections.
  • Take advantage of potential dips in market pricing for the unhedged portion.
  • Achieve a ‘best of both worlds’ strategy for buying natural gas.

Recommended for customers with:

  • Any volume of natural gas consumption
  • A demand for greater natural gas budget control
  • A need for simplified natural gas supply management
