Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
Fixed vs. variable rates: Fixed-rate plans lock in your price per kWh for the length of your contract and are best for customers who value stability. Variable-rate plans do not require a contract, but your price can change with wholesale market conditions — riskier, but sometimes cheaper during low-demand periods.
Plan length: Common contract terms are 12, 24, or 36 months. Consider which term fits your timeline. Canceling early may trigger an early termination fee (ETF).
Same-day energy deadlines: Many providers offer same-day connections if your home has a smart meter, but each has a daily cutoff time. Call us to confirm availability.
Renewable energy options: Some plans include renewable energy certificates. If you want a green energy plan, enter your ZIP code and apply the renewable filter.
Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Always review the EFL to understand pricing, fees, and terms before you enroll.
Your usage needs: Know your typical monthly kWh usage. Rates often vary by usage tier, so shopping with your usage in mind helps you find the best fit.
