Energy prices are experiencing more volatility than seen in the recent past, because of factors beyond a single energy provider.
Increases in electricity rates are due to market factors including, but not limited to, expectations for a colder-than-normal winter and changes in electricity supply and demand. Volatility in natural gas rates is due to factors such as lower supply across North America and anticipated demand over the winter months. Check out our Energy Saving Tips for easy and low-cost ways to reduce energy consumption.
