Types of energy plans in Atlantic City
When shopping around for energy plans in Atlantic City, you’ll notice a variety of plan structures. Each has benefits and drawbacks to consider based on your energy needs, budget, and preferences.
- Fixed-rate plans: These plans are the most popular option on the Choose Energy marketplace. A fixed rate means your price remains the same for the entire contract term, typically lasting anywhere from six to 36 months. The stable rate protects you from market fluctuations, but ending the contract too early may result in an early termination fee (ETF).
- Variable-rate plans: Your rate can change monthly based on wholesale energy costs. These plans offer flexibility without a long-term contract, but they can be risky if prices suddenly spike.
- Prepaid energy plans: Instead of paying after you use energy, you add funds to your account in advance. As you use energy, the provider draws from your account. Prepaid plans are helpful if you want to avoid credit checks or paying an upfront deposit, but you’ll need to regularly check and reload your balance.
- Renewable energy plans: Some Atlantic City gas and electric providers offer green energy plans that offset your power with solar, wind, and other renewable sources. Smart Energy and Clean Choice Energy are two providers offering renewable plans on our marketplace in Atlantic City
