Most likely, you have seen articles in the news about rising energy costs. Similarly, you have likely started to see the impacts of those costs on your energy bill. Significant global events are causing price increases across the energy sector. As a result, energy prices are higher than they’ve been in more than a decade.
Why are energy prices so high?
Global market issues, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, post-pandemic demand, and higher natural gas prices are viewed as key reasons for why wholesale power prices continue to increase. Further, forecasts suggest that rising prices in the wholesale energy markets are likely to continue for several more months.
Many households are facing some tough challenges amidst current economic conditions. U.S. inflation recently hit a 40-year high. Certainly, we understand how frustrating it can be to see energy bills increase on top of rising costs with other necessities.

1Restrictions apply. Enrollment based upon program eligibility. Customers using more than 125% of normal monthly usage as determined by Santanna may be required to switch plans. Utility fees and taxes still apply separately.
2If you are enrolling in Santanna’s Renewable Energy plan, Santanna will either purchase electricity sourced from renewable resources or Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from generation facilities located in the United States sufficient to cover the amount of electricity needed to serve you for the length of your contract. Electricity is the product of a mix of generation energy sources, that is delivered over a system of wires. So, it is not yet possible to deliver electricity from a specific generation facility directly to your home or business. However, purchasing this product enables you to directly support the continued use & development of renewable electricity, which helps to reduce carbon emissions and provides other local & global environmental benefits in the region where the renewable electricity generator is located. Santanna may take several months after the end of a calendar year to purchase and/or retire the RECs needed to fulfill your product.
3Discounts on products & services vary and may have time limits. Check details provided on the Santanna Energy Rewards portal. Discounts do not apply to Santanna electricity or natural gas energy plans. Some energy plans may not be eligible for Rewards.
