STEP1 Index allows you to automate electricity procurement, smoothing out the market highs and lows with an averaged index price. 

With STEP Index you can:

 

STEP Index contracting vs. Fixed price contracting

  • STEP Index

    Agree your electricity prices progressively over the contract period and reduce the risk of contracting at a high point in the market. 

  • Fixed price contracting

    Agree electricity price upfront for the whole contract period based on market prices at the time of signing. This may be at a high point or a low point in the market.
