The winter season is fast approaching, and Rhode Island Energy has increased its electric rates for its commercial and residential customer classes, effective October 2024 through March 2025. Industrial customer class rates have been proposed for January 1, 2025, through March 31, 2025, and are still under review.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The risk of even an average-temperature winter for the area could result in price spikes in the coming months.<\/a> If you are currently getting your energy supply through the utility, you could see significant rate increases over the next several months, and if your business is also receiving gas provided by the utility, there is an additional risk of significant price increases during the winter season. As restaurateurs and others in the hospitality industry certainly know, energy costs in Rhode Island have been a never-ending challenge over the past few years; price spikes in the Rhode Island market can be sudden and volatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To effectively manage your energy costs, and potentially lower your costs, you can work with a third-party energy supplier, like Sprague Energy, who can provide a variety of plans and pricing structures to fit your needs. Sprague\u2019s fixed price solutions<\/a> allow customers to lock in their power rate at a specific price over a designated timeframe. Fixed pricing options can take advantage of favorable market opportunities and give you more price stability for a higher level of budget certainty through the winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprague Energy partners with businesses to provide energy contracts, helping mitigate risk in volatile markets, while potentially eliminating unnecessary costs. By closely monitoring market trends, particularly gas futures and forward curves, Sprague may be able to predict price fluctuations and proactively engage with customers.
