The Choose Energy marketplace has energy plans for every resident or business owner in Midland. You’ll encounter various options when shopping for an electric plan. Here are the most common types of electricity plans available on our marketplace.

• Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, you pay the same monthly rate for energy for the length of your contract (usually between 12–36 months). You don’t have to worry about price spikes from increased demand or inclement weather. This plan is best for those who want a stable electricity bill (not including taxes and fees). Fixed-rate plans typically have an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan before the contract expires unless you move outside the company’s service area.
• Variable-rate plans: If you choose a variable-rate plan, your energy rate changes monthly depending on market conditions. While you’re free to switch providers at any time without paying a fee, you may pay more for electricity when demand increases. This type of plan is best for those who don’t want to be locked into a contract.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans: Some electric providers run a credit check before you can start a plan. You may have to pay a deposit if you don’t meet specific credit score requirements. Consider a prepaid or no-deposit plan to avoid paying a deposit. Prepaid plans allow you to pay for your electricity upfront and top up your balance as needed. You can compare no-deposit energy options in Midland by entering your ZIP code on our marketplace and using the filters.
