Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan

When selecting an energy plan, it’s important that you consider more than just the price. Plan features like usage tiers, rate types, term length, and more will all impact your bill at the end of the month. Here’s an overview of key plan details to understand before signing up:

Monthly usage:

Most energy plans include price tiers that depend on your electricity usage. Check past electricity bills to estimate your normal monthly usage. You can then use this estimate to narrow down your plan options and find the cheapest rate for your usage tier.

Fixed vs. variable rates:

Fixed-rate plans offer a stable price per kWh while you’re under contract. They also charge early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel service early. Variable-rate plans include rates based on the wholesale cost of electricity, so your monthly price could fluctuate with market conditions. Variable-rate plans don’t require a contract, so you can cancel service at any time without paying an ETF.

Plan length:

Most contracts last between 12 and 36 months, although shorter or longer plans are also available. Consider how the contract length and potential ETFs may impact your plans before enrolling.

Same-day energy deadlines:

Most electricity providers offer same-day connections for homes with smart meters installed, allowing you to turn your lights on quickly. However, there is often a specific time you need to activate your new plan by. Reach out to our experts to learn more about same-day electricity options.

Renewable energy options:

Many energy providers offer plans sourced partially or entirely by green energy. Some plans use renewable energy certificates (RECs), while others directly support wind and solar energy. With a green energy plan, you can lower your home’s carbon footprint while still paying a low electricity rate.

Electricity Facts Label:

Carefully review your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before signing up. The EFL provides detailed information about the plan’s terms, fees, and potential costs.
