Types of rates offered by Cirro Energy
Cirro Energy offers two types of rate plans: fixed-rate and variable-rate. Here’s an overview of each plan type to help you compare your options.
- Fixed-rate plans: Under a fixed-rate plan, you will pay a set rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the electricity you use, and your rate will stay the same throughout the plan term. Fixed-rate plans require you to sign a contract — usually 12, 24, or 36 months — and you may incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel before your contract expires. These plans are best for stable budgeting and protection against changes in the energy market.
- Variable-rate plans: A variable-rate plan works well for consumers who don’t want to be locked into a contract at a fixed rate. Based on the wholesale energy cost, the rate consumers pay on a variable-rate plan changes monthly. These plans involve some risk during high-demand seasons, but you can take advantage of cheap electricity and save on your energy bills during low-demand seasons.
No-deposit options from Cirro Energy
Many electricity companies require a deposit to begin service, including Cirro Energy. In some cases, you may be able to get a deposit exemption. However, if you’d rather avoid a deposit, you can explore no-deposit plans on the Choose Energy marketplace.

Green energy with Cirro Energy
Texas is a leading wind and solar energy producer. As a result, every Cirro Energy plan offers some percentage of green energy. You can find the exact amount of green energy sourced in a particular plan by checking its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
Depending on your location, you may have access to 100% green energy plans from other providers. If you want to search for green energy plans on the Choose Energy marketplace, simply select “green energy” from the search filter after you’ve entered your ZIP code.
Moving or transferring service with Cirro Energy
If you’re moving and want to transfer your service to your new home or business, simply call Cirro Energy to transfer your plan to your new address. You can also transfer your service through your online account. Alternatively, if you switch to a new provider during your move, you can use the Choose Energy marketplace to find a provider in your new neighborhood. Cirro Energy will not charge an ETF if you move out of its service area and provide proof of your new address.
Renting with Cirro Energy
If you rent a house or apartment, you can find a Cirro Energy plan that fits your needs. Cirro Energy offers a range of contract lengths — with some as short as eight months — so you can choose a plan that aligns with your rental lease. The month-to-month variable-rate plan is a flexible option that allows you to switch providers at any time if you end your lease.
Cancellation fees
Most providers, including Cirro Energy, charge an ETF on their fixed-rate energy plans. You’ll incur this Cirro Energy cancellation fee if you cancel your service before your contract ends. Cirro Energy charges a $150 fee for its eight- and 12-month fixed-rate plans and $295 for its 24-month fixed-rate plans. The company does not charge a cancellation fee for its month-to-month variable plan.
Satisfaction guarantee
Many energy providers offer a satisfaction guarantee that allows you to switch out of your plan within a certain number of days if you’re unhappy with your service. Cirro Energy’s Service Satisfaction Guarantee allows customers to cancel their service without penalty for up to 30 days after beginning service.
