Types of electricity plans in Weslaco
When you sign up for your Weslaco electricity plan, you’ll have several types of plans to choose from. Some of the most common types of energy plans include:
- Fixed-rate plan: When you sign up for a fixed-rate energy plan, you enter into a contract for 12, 24, or 36 months. Your contract locks in your energy rate, meaning you don’t have to worry about your rate fluctuating from month to month. However, you’ll pay an early termination fee if you end your contract early.
- Variable-rate plan: Variable-rate energy plans don’t require you to enter a contract, and they also don’t lock in your rate. As a result, your rate can fluctuate from month to month. It’s likely to be higher during months when electricity demand is high, but you’ll have a lower rate during months when electricity demand is low.
- No-deposit plans: Many energy plans require you to pay a deposit if you have a lower credit score. Luckily, some providers offer no-deposit plans that allow you to skip both the credit check and the deposit. A prepaid energy plan is a type of no-deposit plan where you pay for your electricity upfront, ensuring that you only pay for what you use.
