Compare electricity rates in Sherman

Texas’ deregulated energy market separates the provider of your energy and the utility company. The utility company maintains the lines in your area and deals with power outages. In Sherman, you’ll stick with Oncor to keep up with the power grid infrastructure.

Sherman electricity providers are varied, and you get to choose which one you prefer. They generate the power at their source power plants and sell it to you, working with your local Sherman utility to deliver it. Companies like 4Change, Gexa, Express, and Frontier all offer energy plans in Sherman at competitive electricity rates. Currently, the plan with the lowest per-kWh rate is offered by Express Energy, with a fixed-rate plan of $0.068 per kWh (for 1000 kWh a month).

Types of electricity plans in Sherman

The Choose Energy marketplace will show you more than one kind of plan. You can compare electric rates Sherman has available while factoring in the other elements of a plan, such as contract term. Here’s the types of plans you will see:

• Fixed-rate plans. Imagine you’re buying a chunk of energy, usually in units of 500 kWh. Your price is guaranteed for that block of energy. Fixed-rate plans are often a good deal, but be aware of what the costs are if you go above the contracted amount of kilowatt-hours.
• Variable-rate plans. Variable-rate plans can give you a nice intro offer with a very low rate per unit of electricity. However, if the price of electricity generation goes up, the company will raise prices. If you find that the prices are going up too much, you can switch plans because there is no contract.
• Prepaid/No-deposit plans. Energy providers are interested in providing everyone with electricity, but low credit scores can make them concerned that they won’t be paid for their service. Paying a deposit or using a prepaid plan can be the solution, where you basically “load up” your account with payment and spend it down through your energy usage. When you need to fill it up again, you just prepay again. Ask your provider if they have a no-deposit option with your particular credit score.

No matter which kind of plan works best for you, typing in your ZIP code is a great way to learn your options.
