You got this 24
If you’re searching for a straightforward energy plan, the You Got This 24 plan from First Choice Power could be a good fit. This plan’s contract lasts 24 months and is a fixed-rate plan, meaning you secure a single rate for the duration of your contract. Keep in mind that this plan includes a $135 termination fee if you cancel your contract early.
You Got This After Hours 12
This fixed-rate plan offers free electricity between 9pm and 7am for the duration of the 12-month contract. It could be a good option if you consume most of your electricity at night or in the early morning.
You Got This 12
The You Got This 12 plan is a 12-month version of the first plan on this list. It is also a fixed-rate plan, so the rate you pay for electricity won’t change for the entirety of your contract.
Electric rates can different based on where you live, primarily because of utility transmission fees in different parts of Texas. In other words, the same plan could be priced differently in Dallas than in Houston because different utility companies operate in these areas.
Because of this, it’s best to use an energy marketplace like this one to find accurate electric rates in your area. With Choose Texas Power, it’s easy to find affordable and reliable electricity plans from energy providers, including First Choice Power.
