What is Shop and Lock?
Many customers know the price they would like to pay for their energy supply and believe the market will
arrive at the price some time in the future. They wait until the market reaches an acceptable price and then
contact suppliers, only to find that the market has moved higher before their purchase is completed. This is
frustrating for customers and suppliers alike.
Shop and Lock Service solves this problem by your agreeing in advance on the desired price and contract terms.
Commerce Energy then shops the markets and locks in that price the moment it becomes available. Pricing
opportunities come and go quickly, but with Shop and Lock you are already positioned to get your desired price.
Price requests are good until canceled or modified.
How is the price calculated?
You set the price that fits into your budget and the type of delivery service you desire, and the process
begins. We enter your request into our systems and continuously shop the markets. Once the market hits your
price, we buy your requested volumes and automatically begin the process of setting up delivery and switching
your account with your host utility. We then notify you that your order has been filled and when we will start
your deliveries. It’s that simple.
