Other factors to consider
Consumers in competitive areas of Texas can choose from several retail electric providers (REPs).
Consumers should always shop for plans, not specific electricity companies.
Electricity Providers in Texas determine the kWh rate you pay and they bill you. That’s it.
The reliability of electric service in Texas relies on the utility company, so the provider that you choose will not affect reliability.
Providers can offer fixed rates, in which prices will not change during the term, variable rates, in which there is no contract and the rate varies according to market conditions, or index plans, in which prices are changed according to a formula tied to a publicly available index.
Most Texas consumers choose fixed-rate electricity plans.
Prefer to avoid credit checks altogether? Then go prepaid. Several prepaid electric companies offer prepaid plans in which the electric service is paid in advance.
There are some providers that offer time-of-use energy plans, which vary based on when the service is used during the day or night. An example would be plans that offer free nights or free weekends.
The most common contract terms are 6, 12, and 24 months. Look for odd-numbered contracts in the spring and winter. Rates may be lower, but the new renewal date may move to a period when rates are higher, like midsummer in Texas.
Same-day no-deposit lights
In the case of a deposit, you will be required to pay it prior to the start of services.
