Types of Bedford electric plans

Thanks to deregulation, you can also choose from several types of electricity plans in Bedford. Your options include:

• Fixed-rate plans: This type of plan offers a stable electricity rate for a set period (usually 12, 24, or 36 months). During that time, you’ll be protected from price hikes in the energy market. Be aware, though, that you’ll likely be charged an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan or change providers before your contract officially ends.
• Variable-rate plans: There are no contracts or ETFs with variable-rate plans. Instead, you’ll have a month-to-month agreement with your provider, which you can cancel (without penalty) at any time. The tradeoff is that your rate is tied to the wholesale electricity market, so it can change every month.
• No-deposit plans: With most Bedford electricity providers, your credit score will determine whether you need to pay a deposit on your service. However, that’s not the case with prepaid plans, a type of no-deposit plan that doesn’t require a deposit or credit check. Instead, you’ll pay for your energy in advance and top up your account when needed.
• Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.
