DU Saver Plan
Beat your distribution utility’s captive rate with minimal change in operating pattern.
How it works
DU Saver benchmarks against your distribution utility’s captive supply rate and structures a retail supply contract that targets a steady discount against that benchmark. It is the most conservative way to move out of the captive market because the comparison stays familiar and the structural change to your operations is minimal.
When it’s the right fit
DU Saver suits customers whose first priority is to capture the savings already available through retail competition without committing to advanced load-shaping or market exposure. The plan is often the starting point for customers who later graduate to fixed-rate or indexed plans once they have a working baseline.
Best for
- Newly contestable accounts
- Customers with steady year-round consumption
- Risk-averse procurement teams
Frequently asked questions
What is the DU Saver Plan?
The DU Saver Plan is Rockport Power’s most conservative retail electricity plan. It benchmarks against your distribution utility’s captive supply rate and contracts a discount against that benchmark, so your business saves against the bill it already knows without changing how the facility operates day to day.
Who is the DU Saver Plan best for?
It suits newly contestable customers making their first move out of captive supply, businesses with steady year-round consumption, and risk-averse procurement teams. Because pricing stays tied to the familiar DU benchmark, it is a common starting point before graduating to fixed-rate or market-indexed structures.
How does DU Saver pricing work?
Pricing is set as your distribution utility’s captive rate minus a contracted spread, settled monthly over a typical twelve-month term. Because the comparison basis is the rate the DU already publishes, the saving is transparent on every invoice, and Rockport Power structures the contract around your existing operating pattern.
Do I qualify for the DU Saver Plan?
You qualify if your facility is a contestable customer under RCOA — generally a single facility with average peak demand of at least 100 kW — or if you reach the threshold through retail aggregation. Rockport Power confirms contestability with your distribution utility as part of the proposal process.
Will switching to DU Saver affect supply reliability?
No. Your distribution utility continues to deliver power over the same wires and remains responsible for the network. Only the supply component of your bill moves to Rockport Power, so the physical reliability of your connection is unchanged when you switch plans or suppliers.
