Keep in mind: No matter which energy company you pick, your power will be delivered to your home by your local utility company.

Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
When you’re shopping for Stafford electric plans, it helps to understand some basics about the deregulated market, including:
- Fixed vs. variable rates: If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you’ll lock in a rate for the duration of your contract. Variable-rate plans, on the other hand, come with fluctuating rates that change along with the wholesale price of electricity.
- Plan length: Fixed-rate plans have set term lengths, usually ranging from 12 to 36 months. If you cancel your plan or switch providers before your contract’s end date, you’ll typically have to pay an early termination fee (ETF). With variable-rate plans, there are no term lengths or ETFs.
- Same-day energy deadlines: Many electricity companies in Stafford offer same-day energy service, so you can get electricity within hours of signing up for a plan. However, you’ll typically need to sign up by a specific time (for example, 5 p.m.). To learn more about same-day electricity, call us at the number on your screen.
- Renewable energy options: Some providers — including Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — offer 100% renewable plans. Depending on the company, these plans might use energy from renewable sources or come with renewable energy credits (RECs) to minimize your carbon footprint.
- Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Your plan’s EFL includes important information about its rate, fees, contract length, and more. Review it carefully before signing up.
- Your usage needs: Energy plans often have tiered pricing structures, meaning that your rate will depend on how much electricity you use that month. For that reason, we suggest checking your previous electric bills to understand how much power you typically consume. Based on that, you can determine the right plan for your needs and budget.
