Frequently Asked Questions:
If you have already enrolled with NSTAR’s Gas Fixed Price Option, here are some answers
to your frequently asked questions.
What is the fixed price for the 2007 – 2008 heating season?
The 2007 – 2008 Fixed Price Option Gas Supply Charge price will be $0.999 per
therm.
Will the fixed price represent the entire amount on my monthly gas bill?
No. This fixed price option will only affect the Gas Supply Charge on your bill.
If I didn’t enroll in the Fixed Price Option what would my Gas Supply Charge
price be this winter?
As of November 1, 2007, the Gas Supply Charge price for the winter is $0.9799 per therm.
This price may increase or decrease as the market price of natural gas fluctuates.
Price fluctuations are market-driven and it’s difficult for NSTAR Gas to predict what
those market conditions or prices will be.
Can I drop out of the Fixed Price Option program at any time during the winter?
No. If you enroll in the Fixed Price Option, you will remain in the program for the entire
winter heating season (November 1 through April 30).
What happens to my gas bill after April 30, 2008?
Customers on the Fixed Price Option will automatically be placed back on the
regular, standard NSTAR Gas pricing on May 1, 2008. In the fall of 2008,
NSTAR will send a letter to all applicants as a reminder of enrollment.
At that time, you may continue to participate in next winter’s Fixed Price
Option program or de-enroll from the program. If no action is taken, you
will continue on the Fixed Price Option program next winter.
If I am enrolled in the Fixed Price Option program and I move, do I get to keep the rate at my new home?
Yes. You will be able to carry that rate with you to your new home as long as you move
within the NSTAR Gas service area.
