One of the things our customers love most is knowing that they’ve secured the kwh price in their agreement until the end of the term they chose. If, for example, you signed a 60-month term (the longest we offer), then you will pay the rate at signing until the end of that agreement—regardless of how the market shifts. For those that apply, 3rd Coast also offers 7-10 year contracts—a popular option for municipalities, government agencies, school districts and more. We also provide “blend and extends” products so that if the market does drop, customers can lower their rate and extend their term, with savings going into effect the following month.
