Choose Energy’s marketplace makes it easy to shop around and compare electric rates in Temple, but there are a few things to understand beforehand. Here’s what to know about energy shopping:

• Fixed vs. variable rates: A fixed-rate plan includes a stable electricity rate for a set contract period. A variable-rate plan, however, has a fluctuating rate that can change depending on market conditions.
• Plan length: Fixed-rate plans usually last between 12 to 36 months. If you cancel or switch providers before your plan ends, most Temple electricity providers will charge an early termination fee (ETF). On the other hand, variable-rate plans don’t have contracts. Instead, you can cancel these month-to-month agreements at any time.
• Same-day energy deadlines: If you need power right away, some electricity companies offer same-day electricity connections. There is a certain cut-off time for each provider, so it’s best to request service earlier in the day. You can learn more about same-day electricity by calling the number on your screen.
• Renewable energy options: Electricity providers like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy sell 100% renewable plans in Temple. These providers purchase renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset your electricity usage.
• Electricity Facts Label (EFL): An EFL contains key information about your electricity plan, including the rate, utility transmission charges, early termination fees, plan length, and more. Always read this document carefully before signing up for a plan.
• Your usage needs: Electricity plans often include multiple rate tiers, and the rate you pay depends on how much power you consume. Before you sign up for a new plan, check your previous bill to understand your usage and find the right plan for your habits.
