Direct Energy Business has launched a new Fixed Energy Plus programme to bring increased transparency for business customers in the Midwest and Northeast US.

The new billing programme provides a single-price electricity supply rate and an at-cost settlement of demand-based regulated charges. This structure is said to reduce a customer’s exposure to the risk of price volatility in the energy market while creating opportunities to maximise demand efficiencies.

The programme uses a two-part pricing structure that separates the fixed energy component from pass-through demand-based charges, which are made up of capacity and transmission charges. These are now displayed on the customer’s bill and linked to their peak load obligation.

The new billing method offers customers with a simple way to confirm the exact amount of their bill related to the specific charges that are based on peak consumption versus their total electricity consumption.
