Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
Your household usage:
Providers charge electricity prices based on monthly usage. For example, the rate you’ll pay for 1,000 kWh of usage can differ from your rate if you use 500 kWh for the same plan. For this reason, it’s important to have an estimate of your typical monthly usage when shopping for energy plans so you can compare the cheapest rates for your usage tier.
Fixed-rate vs. variable-rate:
Fixed-rate plans lock in the price you pay for the duration of your contract. These types of plans work best for most customers and normally lead to more predictable energy bills. Variable-rate plans charge rates based on the wholesale cost of electricity. Some months your rate could be low, but it could suddenly increase if energy demand goes up. However, variable-rate plans do not require a contract, so they offer more flexibility if you’re a short-term renter or you move frequently.
Electricity Facts Label:
Every plan includes an Electricity Facts Label (EFL), which outlines important plan details like cancellation fees, rate type, renewable energy content, and more. Be sure to review a plan’s EFL before signing up.
Early termination fees:
If you cancel your service before your contract ends, you may face an early termination fee (ETF). Check your plan’s EFL before making any changes to confirm the details. Your provider won’t charge an ETF if you cancel service because you are moving outside of their service area.
Renewable energy content:
Every Texas energy plan includes a percentage of green energy, and some providers even offer 100% green energy options. If you’re interested in a renewable energy plan, consider Green Mountain Energy or Gexa Energy.
