This means that if prices increases over and above the rate set as your cap you the price increase you receive will only be to the capped rate. This means that you know the maximum rates you will have to pay for Gas and Electric at a given point in time regardless of if the rates go up.

You can have a capped rate on Gas or Electric. Some suppliers cap the rate at the rate charged at the time of subscription. Rates are charged per kwh (kilo watt hour) for both Gas and Electric.
