How exactly does this 5% promotional offer work?

According to the Comcast Energy Rewards FAQ: “During your first year as an Energy Rewards customer, your electric or natural gas supply rate will be based on your applicable Utility Price Index. If the Utility Price Index lowers, your rate will also go down and you will continue to receive the 5% discount (and ​vise versa if the Utility Price Index increases). This way, you will be guaranteed to receive 5% below the Utility Price Index for the entire ​first year.”

The Comcast Energy Rewards program can be cancelled at anytime without any additional service or bothersome fees.
