In the USA I thought the price already floated based on market rates.

Yes, absolutely this is the way to go. It works well for gasoline, for instance.

Retail consumer prices don't float in most markets. Some markets have time-of-use pricing for some part of the year, but even those have a fixed peak/off-peak rate that is fixed well in advance.
