The amount rises on an anniversary
Each year the payment or per-unit rate is a little higher than the year before, even when usage looks similar.
Situations we see
Does the lease or power agreement go up every year?
If your lease or power agreement goes up every year, that increase is often written into the paperwork as escalator language. A review can show you where it sits and how it is described — not rewrite the schedule or promise a lower rate.

What you need
- Your lease or power purchase agreement
- Statements from more than one year, if you have them
- The proposal or rate summary from the sales conversation
What this usually looks like
The sales conversation emphasised the starting figure
What you remember is the first-year number. The document may also describe how that number changes over the term.
The increase is a percentage or a fixed step
Escalator wording can be annual, compound, or tied to a schedule buried in an exhibit or disclosure page.
It is unclear whether your arrangement even has one
Not every agreement escalates. Some do. Knowing which you have matters before you compare years or plan a sale.
What we would look at
We find and explain the escalator language in ordinary words. We do not promise to stop the increases or change the contracted rate.
- Whether the agreement includes an escalator, and how often it applies.
- How the increase is calculated according to the document.
- Where that language sits relative to the starting payment or rate you were shown.
- Anything in writing that described the yearly change before you signed.
What to bring
The agreement and a few years of statements tell most of the story.
- Your lease or power purchase agreement
- Statements from more than one year, if you have them
- The proposal or rate summary from the sales conversation
- Any disclosure page that mentions annual increases
