Types of Abilene electric plans

Because Abilene’s energy market is deregulated, you have the power to choose your energy plan from a pool of available energy providers and plans. Some of the most common types of plans are:

• Fixed-rate plans: If you want to secure a single rate for the next 12 to 36 months, a fixed-rate plan could be the best option for you. Under a fixed-rate plan, you are charged the same rate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy you use for the duration of your contract. If you need to switch energy plans before your contract expires, you’ll be charged an early termination fee.
• Variable-rate plans: You can choose a variable-rate plan for more flexibility if you don’t want to enter a contract. However, with this type of plan, you will not have a fixed rate, and the price you pay each month will rise and fall depending on fluctuations in in the energy market. During times of high demand (like in the summer months), variable-rate plans can result in a high energy bill because the price of power suddenly spikes.
• No deposit plans: Energy providers often require a credit check before activation. If your credit score does not meet a certain threshold, you could be charged a deposit to begin service. Alternatively, you could sign up for a no-deposit electricity plan. Prepaid plans are the most common type of no-deposit option, which let you pay in advance for your service without a credit check.
