The Choose Energy marketplace offers fixed-, variable- and no-deposit energy plans. Each type of plan has unique features that may work best for you, depending on your energy needs.
Fixed-rate plans
These electricity plans are popular for their predictability. With a fixed-rate plan, your provider sets a stable rate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity you use. By securing your rate with a contract, these plans protect you from fluctuations in the energy market, usually for one to three years. In exchange for that stability, you’ll have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan before the contract ends.
Variable-rate plans
With a variable-rate plan, your monthly rate can change based on the wholesale cost of electricity, which fluctuates depending on demand. The upsides of this unpredictability are that you can change your plan at any time without incurring an ETF and that you can take advantage of cheap rates when demand is low. However, if demand increases when temperatures are more extreme, you will likely pay higher rates.
Prepaid and no-deposit plans
Many energy providers require a deposit before you start service. However, you can opt for a no-deposit plan if you are comfortable with prepaying every month. Prepaid electricity plans require you to maintain a balance in your account, but you don’t have to pay an upfront deposit. You can also bypass a credit check with this type of plan.
