Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
There are several important features you should be aware of when shopping for an electricity plan and provider. Here’s a quick overview of a few main points.
Your monthly usage:
Before shopping for an energy plan, check your past utility bills to estimate your normal monthly usage. On our marketplace, you can filter by usage tier to ensure you find the best energy rate and plan to match your usage needs.
Plan type:
You’ll find a few different types of energy plans on our marketplace. The two most common types are fixed-rate and variable-rate plans. Fixed-rate plans offer a set, secure electricity price while you’re under contract. Variable-rate plans charge rates based on the wholesale cost of power. Fixed-rate plans usually lead to more predictable utility bills, while variable-rate plans provide more flexibility.
Contract length:
Consider the length of the contract you choose when shopping for a plan. Most contract terms last between 12 and 36 months. If you end your service before your contract expires, you may incur an early termination fee (ETF).
Electricity Facts Label:
Each plan comes with a unique Electricity Facts Label (EFL). The EFL includes important information about your plan, including the electricity rate, term length, rate type, and additional fees.
Renewable energy options:
Every Texas energy plan contains a portion of renewable sources. You can check your plan’s EFL for details. Some providers also offer 100% green energy plans. Search for plans from Gexa Energy or Green Mountain Energy if you are interested in lowering your home’s carbon footprint.
