Probably not a surcharge, but maybe a minimum contract length? I don’t know if that’s possible (legally). But, I imagine that a utility would want to make sure that a customer who switched providers to avoid these wholesale prices would want to ensure that the customer would stick around long enough to make sense financially.

The contract lengths yield different prices. griddy has referral recommendations for several 1 month contracts through different providers until prices stabilize
