Flexibility can be a strategic advantage for businesses focused on energy cost optimization. Chariot Energy’s index rate electricity plans are built for organizations seeking more than fixed pricing—those looking to align procurement strategy with market conditions and operational agility.
While index rate products aren’t for everyone, as they change with the market, but there are benefits to certain business types:
Wholesale prices can be cheaper than fixed retail prices
Companies with capabilities to monitor market prices and optimize their usage, by using less electricity during high-priced hours, can see lower rates overall.
Fixed-rate contracts often include a premium for electricity providers to hedge, or insure, against wholesale price spikes. Index rates do not include that added premium.
Whether managing multiple facilities or running a load-intensive site, index structures provide the transparency and responsiveness to adapt in real time.
Fixed-rate electricity plans serve certain environments well, but they may limit flexibility and miss market opportunities. Indexed electricity plans offer a dynamic alternative by tying electricity prices to wholesale markets such as the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) or Philly New Jersey Maryland Interconnection (PJM). This approach can reduce average costs, particularly for operations with predictable usage patterns or time-shifting capabilities.
These plans are ideal for:
Indexed pricing doesn’t mean unpredictable—with the right visibility and strategy, it means being responsive.
Chariot Energy adds structure and clarity to a variable model, delivering the tools and support needed to make indexed pricing a valuable part of any energy strategy.
Each plan includes:
Plans are built in collaboration with operational and procurement leaders to match energy strategy to real-world flexibility.
Index plans are about alignment. These plans enable businesses to capture market dips, avoid premium markups and engage more actively with energy management.
