Given the volatility in today’s energy markets, it’s important to manage your budget and your pricing risk. With Sprague, you can lock in your natural gas rates with a fixed price, select a variable price option—or do a combination of both. No matter the size of your business, we’re happy to work with you to develop a purchasing plan that meets your needs.
To learn more, explore our guide to natural gas pricing programs for businesses.
Fixed Pricing
Sprague's Fixed Program allows you to lock in a rate for natural gas over a time period that suits your business needs. The natural gas you agree to buy will stay at your locked-in rate, regardless of changes in market prices. This program provides a high level of price protection for the volume you commit to and is a great plan if you're most interested in having a set rate for a specific volume of gas. Various term and swing options are available.
Variable Pricing
Variable pricing programs offer rates based off of a point of commodity pricing (Henry Hub, Louisiana).
Sprague’s Variable Pricing Program allows you to float with the market and lock in rates at a later time. Your monthly natural gas price will fluctuate with the monthly settlement price, and not be locked in to a specific rate. Monthly variable pricing programs are a great option if you would like to lock in a price for only a portion of your load up front, and hope to take advantage of a falling market or need to purchase in the summer months, when pricing is generally cheaper.
Market Based Pricing
Sprague’s Market Based Pricing plan bases your monthly natural gas rate on the daily price for each day in the month. This plan works for business managers who think current price levels are higher than they will be in the future, and it fits best if your facilities can switch to an alternate fuel during natural gas price spikes. Market-based pricing programs also work well for customers who use natural gas only in the summer and can take advantage of the generally lower daily market price.
Customized Pricing Plans
Sprague offers custom pricing plans to businesses with complex energy needs.
On a Sprague customized pricing program, your monthly price of natural gas will be based on a combination of pricing options. This option works well for large usage customers who want protection against a rising market–but also want to enjoy cheaper pricing if the market price moves lower. Custom pricing programs are available to customers who use at least 50,000 therms per month.

Most customers do. The savings depend on the utility's approved rate (which changes), your contract price, and when you purchase your gas supply from Sprague. However, with Sprague, you have options! You can either lock in your natural gas costs right now—or float with the market until the price is right for you, and then lock in the rate. If you continue to purchase your natural gas from your utility, you may not have the ability to lock in prices and avoid the market swings.
No. You’ll receive the same quality service from your utility regardless of the company that provides your natural gas.
