Types of electricity plans in Round Rock

Knowing the types of energy plans allows you to evaluate all your options based on their benefits and drawbacks.

• Fixed-rate plans. Your fixed-rate plan offers a locked-in rate that lasts for a certain timeframe. Fixed-rate plans can have certain stipulations that define how much energy you need to use to get the best rate. For example, if you sign up for a plan with a good rate at 1000 kWh, there may be a different rate for the 1001st kWh. Make sure you read the Electricity Facts Label for details.
• Variable-rate plans. Variable-rate plans don’t have a contract, so you have the flexibility to switch providers if a better rate is on offer. Variable-rate plans can increase month-over-month in response to market shifts or energy demand surges.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans. Energy companies can request a credit check to determine whether you are eligible for a plan. Based on your credit score, you may have to pay some money upfront. Typically, you’ll get this deposit back at the end of your time with the company. If you prefer a no-deposit plan, you can try a prepaid plan. Instead of a deposit, you pay an amount of money upfront, and the company will deduct your monthly bill from that credit on your account.
