RG&E variable price option

Option 2. RG&E Variable Price Option
You can choose to buy your electricity supply from RG&E at a variable price.

This option consists of a fixed RG&E delivery charge, a fixed transition charge and a variable RG&E supply charge. The variable supply charge reflects the changing market cost of electricity that month.

The supply charge will vary based on New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) day-ahead wholesale prices. As wholesale prices change, your supply charge will change.

Selecting the RG&E Variable Price Option:
If you select this option you will remain on the RG&E Variable Price Option through December 31, 2009, unless you choose to switch to a supplier other than RG&E, also known as energy services company or ESCO.

Is this your current pricing option?
Customers currently enrolled in the RG&E Variable Price Option can switch to the ESCO Price Option at any time. You must contact a supplier to make this selection; they will enroll your account for you.

  •  The total price per kilowatt-hour under the Variable Price Option will float based on the wholesale market price of electricity.
  • The total price per kilowatt-hour under the Fixed Price Option will remain constant regardless of volatility in wholesale market prices.
  • Historical wholesale market prices of electricity should not be interpreted as an indicator of future prices.
  • ESCO pricing information is not provided to RG&E. For ESCO pricing information, contact ESCOs directly.
