Types of plans in Atascocita

• Fixed rates: In a fixed-rate plan, the rates you pay per kilowatt hour (kWh) of consumption will be the same for the entire length of the contract, which is usually between three months to five years. A fixed-rate plan makes it easier to budget for your monthly energy costs.
• Variable rates: In a variable-rate plan, the rate you pay for the energy you use can change from month to month as these rates are based on wholesale energy prices. Those prices can shift based on market conditions.
• No deposit: Providers check your credit score to see if you’ll be required to pay a deposit and how much that deposit will be. If you wish to avoid a deposit, you can consider a pre-paid plan in which you put funds into the account for that month’s planned energy use. You’ll receive an alert when you need to add money to the account.
