Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
Fixed vs. variable rates:
Fixed-rate plans offer a secured electricity rate for the duration of the contract, but most will include an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your service early. On the other hand, variable-rate plans charge rates based on the wholesale cost of electricity, meaning your rate will change from month to month. However, variable-rate plans don’t charge cancellation fees, offering more flexibility.
Plan length:
Most fixed-rate contracts last between one and three years. Some providers offer shorter contract terms, like month-to-month plans or contracts lasting only six months. Check for details about ETFs before signing up for a plan.
Electricity Facts Label:
Before enrolling in a plan, carefully review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Every plan includes an EFL, which offers important details about the plan’s terms, rates, and additional fees.
Same-day energy deadlines:
Most electricity providers offer same-day connections for new customers. However, you’ll need to enroll by a specific time in order to begin service the same day. Please call the number on this page to learn more about same-day service requirements.
Household usage:
The most important information to keep in mind when shopping for an energy plan is how much energy your household typically consumes per month. Providers charge rates based on your usage tier, so you could receive a cheap rate for 1,000 kWh per month but a much higher rate if you only use 500 kWh. Check past utility bills to estimate how much power you normally use.
Renewable energy options:
Every provider in Texas offers energy plans with some renewable energy sources included in the mix. Some energy companies specialize in 100% green energy plans, such as Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy.
