Below is a sampling of the Verde Energy plans in the Choose Energy marketplace. You may see some different options for your specific area, but this should give you an idea of what to expect. Enter your ZIP code above to see which plans are available for your home.

Clean Power 24

This simple plan allows customers to capitalize on a long-term, fixed rate without the stress of early termination fees.

Verde Time of Use

This plan follows the peaks of your state’s electricity market. What does that mean? When a lot of people are using energy, you’ll pay slightly more. But you’ll also profit from price drops when demand is low.

Green Choice 6

This plan is a good choice for customers in need of a short term, stable rate with fixed pricing over six months and no early termination fee.

Clean Power 12

A shorter option of the popular Clean Power plan, this fixed rate allows customers to enjoy stable pricing on a green plan for a whole year.

Green Choice 24

New customers can earn a $100 rebate with this longer version of the Green Choice 6. Settle in for two years with a fixed, green rate.

At Choose Energy, we try to evaluate as many energy companies as possible to help our customers make informed decisions. You can see all of our reviews so far in our full ranking here.

We haven’t finished our evaluation of Verde Energy yet, and reviews of the company are scarce. It is not currently accredited or rated by the Better Business Bureau. That said, Choose Energy only works with providers we know we can rely on. Though our full rating is still to come, we’ve done our homework to make sure you can trust what you’re getting when you sign up for a Verde Energy plan.

Verde Energy for home

Customers like Verde Energy for its green offerings but also because it allows them to sign up with no deposit and no cancellation fee. Because Verde offers only fixed rates, you can rest assured that you won’t see any rate spikes for the duration of your term.

Verde Energy for business

Both small and commercial businesses can go green with Verde, whether through REC-powered electricity plans or carbon-neutral natural gas. Small businesses are eligible for rebates, and Verde’s long term fixed rates protect your business from market spikes.

Carbon neutral natural gas

Verde Energy understands its customers’ need for natural gas and has found a way to make that need greener. Verde purchases carbon offset credits that allow it to offer carbon-neutral natural gas for home and business. Fixed natural gas rates are available in Ohio, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

What are the different kinds of energy plans?

Energy plans come in many different forms – from rate structures to home service options and more. It can be confusing, but there are two main types you’ll see more than others, fixed and variable plans.

• A fixed rate energy plan sets your rate in your contract. That rate does not change for your whole contract.
• A variable rate plan means that the rate you pay depends on the energy market. When demand is high, you pay more. When demand is low, you pay less.

For more information on these and other plans, as well as green energy and payment options, see our energy buying guide or give us a call.

Will you run a credit check? What about deposits?

The short answer: yes. We are required by providers to run a credit check so they can offer you service. Each provider decides on its credit threshold, below which it will charge a deposit. At Choose Energy, though, we wanted to make the process as easy as possible, so we do things a little differently.

We run a soft credit check – the kind that doesn’t affect your score – for all our partners at once. That’s right, one credit check that doesn’t affect your score. After that, we’ll let you know if you need to pay a deposit and offer deposit-free options if you do. See our deposits page to learn more.

How do I move my service? Can I switch without moving?

Both moving and switching are quick and easy. If you’re moving, you won’t need to pay an early termination fee. You can stay with your provider, as long as they serve the area you are moving to, or try something new. You can sign up for a new plan up to 90 days before you move.

If you want to switch providers but aren’t moving, check your contract for early termination fees. You will not have to pay an early termination fee if you switch 14 days or less before your contract ends. Then, shop for a new plan in our marketplace.
