Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan

Your monthly usage:

Providers set energy rates based on three usage tiers: 500 kWh, 1,000 kWh, and 2,000 kWh. Some plans offer a cheap rate for the 1,000 kWh tier, but charge higher prices for the other tiers. It’s important to check past energy bills to estimate your typical monthly usage and find a plan that fits.

Fixed-rate vs. variable-rate:

Fixed-rate plans include a set energy price per kWh for the duration of your contract. Variable-rate plans have prices based on the energy market, so your rate could fluctuate from month to month. However, variable-rate plans don’t require a contract or charge cancellation fees.

Plan length:

Consider the length of the contract (e.g., 12 months, 24 months) and whether it has early termination fees in case your plans change.

Same-day energy deadlines:

Most electricity providers offer same-day setup for homes with a smart meter, allowing you to get your lights on the day you enroll. However, there is often a specific time you need to enroll by to qualify for same-day service. Call our experts to learn more about same-day electricity.

Renewable energy options:

Some providers offer plans that use renewable energy certificates, allowing you to offset your carbon footprint. You can also find companies specializing in 100% green energy plans, including Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy. Enter your ZIP code and filter by renewable energy to compare your options today.

Electricity Facts Label (EFL):

It’s important to carefully review a plan’s EFL, which contains important details about the energy price, additional fees, contract length, and more.
