Fuel Pricing & Payment Programs

Explore options designed to make propane and heating oil costs more predictable and manageable throughout the year.

Upstate Energy offers several options that may help customers plan for propane and heating oil costs throughout the year. Program availability, enrollment periods and terms may vary, so contact our team for current details and eligibility.

Budget Billing: estimated annual fuel costs spread across more predictable monthly payments, reducing higher winter bills

Budget Billing

Spread estimated annual fuel costs across more predictable monthly payments, helping reduce the seasonal swings that can come with winter fuel use.

Price Cap graph: customers pay the lower market price when it falls below their cap, and their cap price when the market rises above it

Price Cap

Our Price Cap program lets customers commit to a set price before the winter while maintaining downside protection. If the market rate at the time of delivery is lower, you receive the lower price. If the market rate rises above your contracted Cap Rate, you pay the Cap Rate. A per-gallon protection fee applies and is paid upfront.

Pre Buy: purchase fuel in advance for greater price predictability, secure fuel ahead of time and prepare for winter
