Fixed Price Option
This price option guarantees the electing Customer a fixed price for its gas supply commodity charges for the term of its service. The applicable fixed price for the initial election shall be that price posted by the Company as its "Fixed Price" for the month in which the Customer makes its service election. In the event the service is automatically extended as provided in this Rider, the applicable Fixed Price for each annual extension shall be the price posted by the Company as its Fixed Price in the month prior to the first month of the new service term.
To the extent the Company offers a series of fixed prices which vary based on customer consumption patterns, the electing Customer shall receive the Fixed Price based upon the consumption pattern that best approximates its consumption pattern in the prior twelve months. The "Fixed Price" shall apply throughout the service term.
