Everything You Need to Know About Fixed Pricing

PROPANE PRICING YOUR WAY

Superior Propane price plans are similar to mortgage rates, with fixed and variable pricing. The choice is yours when it comes to choosing the plan that suits your budget.

FIXED PRICE EXPLAINED

HOW FIXED PRICE IS DETERMINED

The fixed price for propane is based on a 12-month outlook, which considers economic conditions, supply, demand, and propane inventory levels in U.S. and Canada to help predict average monthly propane prices for the next 12 months.

THE ADVANTAGE OF LOCKING IN YOUR RATE

Similar to a fixed mortgage, a fixed price plan protects you from unpredictable price swings for one year. You can fix it and forget it. Otherwise, your price for propane will be determined in part by fluctuating market prices, similar to a variable rate mortgage.

PROPANE PRICES

The primary drivers affecting propane fuel prices are:

  • Increasing demand and strong exports
  • Increasing economic activity is helping drive global demand
  • Europe and Asia are procuring energy at all costs to mitigate further threats of energy shortages
  • Energy production hasn’t caught up with demand
  • In the colder winter months comes higher demand and therefore typically higher costs

This isn’t just a propane story, but a trend being felt by all energies.
