STEP Index
With STEP Index, businesses can access the benefits of a progressive purchasing contract, minus the complexity.
STEP Index is a flexible electricity agreement that works by smoothing out the market highs and lows, letting you pay the average market price of the indexing period for your electricity and environmental certificates. STEP Index makes sure you never pay the highest price in a volatile market.
Manage your contract timing risk

How does STEP Index work?
PHASE 1 – SIGN UP
We’ll help you set up your STEP Index agreement.
PHASE 2 – INDEXING PERIOD
We calculate the simple average of forward market prices during your chosen index period.
For added flexibility and control, you can benefit from the option to close out the index early to take advantage of a drop in market prices.
The graph below illustrates how the average market price is set.

PHASE 3 - SUPPLY PERIOD
Your invoice unit rates will be fixed for each year of your contract to give you price certainty for the year ahead.
We calculate your unit rates by using the simple averaged energy price multiplied by your pre-agreed STEP factors. STEP factors convert the average energy price into unit rates of peak, shoulder, and off-peak.
