Compare Sugar Land Electric Prices

Traditional energy markets require you to buy electricity from your local utility company. Fortunately, Sugar Land residents live in a deregulated energy market where providers compete to offer competitive electric rates. If you live in Sugar Land, you have the power to choose your electric provider and lock in energy rates that are right for your home or business.

In Sugar Land and other deregulated cities, your utility company will deliver power to your property, maintain local power infrastructure (including power lines), and deal with outages. You can’t pick your utility because it’s based on your location. CenterPoint Energy is the utility in Sugar Land.

Unlike your utility, you’re free to pick from a variety of Sugar Land retail electricity providers (REPs) thanks to Texas’s energy deregulation. These energy providers sell power and manage your account and billing. The Choose Energy marketplace gives you the power to choose your energy provider and compare plans and prices. Popular energy providers in Sugar Land include Discount Power, TXU Energy, and Pulse Power.

While you shop around for energy plans, you’ll notice that there are different types to choose from. Here’s a quick look at the most popular plans you’ll find on Choose Energy.

Fixed-rate plans

With a fixed-rate plan, you’ll enter into a contract with your provider (generally lasting anywhere from 12 to 36 months). During this period, your rate won’t change, which is great if you want to ensure more stable energy costs. However, you may have to pay a fee if you need to cancel early.

Variable-rate plans

Unlike fixed-rate plans, variable-rate plans don’t come with a long-term contract. Instead, your rate will change based on market prices, and your electricity bill could fluctuate between billing periods. On the other hand, you can easily switch plans without worrying about cancellation fees. 

Prepaid and no-deposit plans

If you don’t think you’ll pass the credit check that many energy providers require, you might consider a no-deposit electricity plan. These plans allow you to begin service without putting down a deposit. Prepaid plans are one popular type of no-deposit plan where you pay for your electricity usage before you use it (rather than after).
