Big Spring utility companies and energy providers
Texas deregulated its energy market roughly two decades ago. Since then, Big Spring residents have had the ability to shop around for electricity and choose the best provider for them. Residents of the state have plenty of great options to choose from, with some of the most popular providers including TXU Energy, 4Change Energy, and Direct Energy.
While residents can choose their own providers, they can’t choose their utility company. The local utility company delivers the electricity that powers peoples’ homes and maintains the electric infrastructure. Your utility company is based on where you live. Oncor Electric Delivery is the utility company for Big Spring.
Types of electricity plans in Big Spring
When you sign up for your next electricity plan in Big Spring, you’ll have several types of plans to choose from. Here are some of the most popular:
- Fixed-rate plan: When you enter into a fixed-rate electricity plan, you sign a contract that lasts for anywhere from 12 to 36 months. Your electricity rate is locked into your contract, meaning it doesn’t fluctuate with the market. This type of plan is ideal for those who want consistency in their budget since you don’t have to worry about your rate changing.
- Variable-rate plan: Unlike fixed-rate plans, variable-rate electricity plans don’t lock you into a contract. Instead, your rate each month is based on the current wholesale electricity rate. When demand is high, your rate will increase. But when demand is low, your monthly bill will likely go down.
- No-deposit plan: Depending on your credit score, you may need to pay a deposit when you sign up for your electricity plan. But some companies offer no-deposit electricity plans, allowing consumers to skip the deposit. A prepaid energy plan is a popular type of no-deposit plan where you skip the credit check altogether and pay for your electricity upfront.
