In a deregulated market, there’s a difference between your utility company and energy provider. Wichita Falls electricity providers sell power to customers through various types of energy plans. Unlike your utility company, you can choose the best electric company near you based on your needs. Some of the top Wichita Falls electricity providers include Frontier Utilities, Express Energy, Gexa Energy, and 4Change Energy.

In contrast, the utility company transmits and distributes power, maintains power lines and infrastructure, and restores power during an outage. Unlike your energy provider, you cannot choose your utility because it’s assigned by location. The utility for Wichita Falls is Oncor Electric Delivery.

You’ll find several different types of electric plans to choose from when comparing Wichita Falls electricity rates. It’s helpful to understand the most popular plan types from electricity companies near you to make the best decision for your home or business.

Fixed-rate plans

With fixed-rate plans, your monthly electricity rate is secured with a contract — usually lasting between 12 and 36 months. This will provide you with a stable electricity bill and protection from market fluctuations. However, you might have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early.

Variable-rate plans

If you sign up for a variable-rate plan, your rate will fluctuate in line with the market price for energy. You will have changes in your monthly energy bill depending on the season, weather, and current energy demand. The good news is that you can switch providers without paying an ETF because variable-rate plans don’t have fixed contracts.

Prepaid and no-deposit plans

Many electric plans require an upfront deposit if you don’t have a good enough credit score. To avoid a credit check and deposit, you can sign up for a no-deposit plan, such as the popular prepaid energy plan. With these plans, you can pay for energy upfront and top up your account when it gets low.
