Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
As you’re shopping for a new electricity plan, here are some of the most important things to keep in mind:
Fixed vs. variable rates
A fixed-rate plan lets you pay the same rate for electricity for your entire contract period. Meanwhile, a variable-rate plan comes with a fluctuating rate that can change monthly, depending on the current wholesale price of energy.
Plan length
With a fixed-rate plan, you’ll have a set contract that usually lasts between 12 and 36 months. These plans come with early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel or switch providers while you’re still under contract. There are no contracts or ETFs with variable-rate plans, so you have the flexibility to cancel at any point.
Same-day energy deadlines
In Texas, many electricity companies offer same-day energy connections, so you can get power within hours. However, you’ll need to enroll before a particular cut-off time (which varies by provider). Give us a call at the number on this page to learn more about same-day electricity service.
Renewable energy options
All energy plans in Texas include some amount of renewable energy. While some of these plans are powered by renewable resources, others come with renewable energy credits (RECs), which providers buy to offset your carbon footprint. Some providers, such as Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy, offer 100% green plans.
Electricity Facts Label (EFL)
Every energy plan in Lubbock comes with an EFL. This document provides information about its term length, rate structure, ETFs, and more. It’s important to review a plan’s EFL carefully before signing up to avoid any unexpected surprises on your bill.
Your usage needs
Electricity plans often have different rates depending on your energy consumption. Understanding your typical usage will help you pick the best one for your household. Check your past electric bills to get an idea of your household’s usage to find the best match.

If you’re looking for energy-saving tips, you can try unplugging electronics and appliances after using them, sealing gaps around doors and windows, replacing HVAC filters regularly, and taking shorter showers.
How does weather affect energy usage?
When the weather is extremely hot or cold (like in summer and winter), there’s more demand for cooling and heating — which increases electricity demand. As a result, energy rates typically spike during these seasons. However, in spring and fall, the weather is milder, so demand and prices generally go down.
