Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
Thanks to deregulation, you can choose an electricity plan for your home. Finding the best option is important because it directly affects your monthly bills. Here are some important considerations to make when shopping on our marketplace.
Fixed vs. variable rates:
While fixed-rate plans offer a stable price per kWh for the duration of the contract, variable-rate plans fluctuate with market conditions. If you cancel a fixed-rate plan before the contract expires, you’ll be on the hook for an early termination fee (ETF). Variable-rate plans don’t include an ETF, making them favorable for customers in a short-term pinch.
Plan length:
You will need to decide on a contract length, which can be month-to-month or longer. Most fixed-rate plans last 12, 24, or 36 months. Use our filters to shop based on your ideal term.
Same-day energy deadlines:
Most electricity providers on our marketplace allow same-day connections, allowing you to turn your lights on as soon as possible. This only works if your home has a smart meter. However, you will typically need to activate your new plan by a certain time. Call our energy experts to learn more about same-day electricity options in Texas City.
Renewable energy options:
Many providers offer plans with renewable energy certificates, which offset your carbon footprint based on your monthly usage. Use the “green energy” filter on the Choose Energy marketplace to find these options.
Electricity Facts Label (EFL):
Before signing up for any plan, carefully review the EFL, which provides detailed information about the plan’s terms, fees, and potential costs.
Your usage needs:
Use a collection of past electricity bills to estimate your monthly electricity usage. Understanding your typical consumption will help you determine the best plan for your needs.
Connect with a business energy agent
Deregulation isn’t limited to residential electricity. Business owners in Texas City can also shop around to find the plan and light company that best meets their needs. If you have a company here, learn about your commercial energy options by filling out our business energy form or calling the number on your screen.
