Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
Before picking an electricity plan, it helps to understand some basic energy terms you might encounter. Here are some things you might encounter as you shop on our marketplace:
- Fixed vs. variable rates: Fixed electricity rates don’t change as long as your plan is active, offering budget stability. Variable rates, on the other hand, can change each month with the wholesale price of energy, leading to savings during periods of lower demand.
- Plan length: Fixed-rate plans come in different term lengths, typically 12 to 36 months. If you cancel during your contract period, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF). With variable-rate plans, there are no contracts or ETFs, so you’re free to cancel or switch at any point.
- Same-day energy deadlines: If you need power right away, choose a Del Rio electric company that offers same-day energy service. However, there’s typically a specific cut-off time to sign up, which varies by provider. To learn more about same-day electricity, call us at the number on your screen.
- Renewable energy options: There are quite a few green energy plans available in Del Rio and across Texas. Some of these plans come with renewable energy credits (RECs), which providers purchase to offset your carbon footprint. Other green energy plans run on energy from renewable sources, such as wind and solar.
- Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Before choosing a plan, be sure to read the EFL carefully. On it, you’ll find important details about the plan’s rate, term length, fees, and more.
- Your usage needs: In Del Rio, electricity plans have a range of usage tiers, with different rates based on how much electricity you consume. Understanding your usage habits will help you pick the right plan for your household.
