Our recommended Big Spring energy plans
The best electricity plans in Big Spring for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.
Below are a few popular, well-trusted Big Spring electricity plans to consider:
Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12
Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Big Spring residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.
Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12
Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.
Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12
APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.
The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Oncor Electric Delivery is Big Spring’s utility
While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore electricity during power outages. The utility company for Big Spring is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact Oncor:
- Call 1-888-313-4747
- Text “OUT” to 66267
- Report an outage online
All utility companies charge a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) charge for delivering electricity. This charge includes a base monthly charge and a usage charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6183 cents/kWh.
Types of Big Spring electric plans
When you explore top electricity plans on our marketplace, you’ll find several different types. Here are some of the most common plan options:
- Fixed-rate plans: If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, your electric rate stays the same for your entire contract, unless your usage changes drastically. Typically, these plans last between 12 and 36 months. You’ll get more predictable monthly energy bills, but if you cancel before the contract ends, you’ll have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
- Variable-rate plans: These plans don’t come with secure rates or contracts. Instead, your rate changes depending on the current wholesale cost of energy. Your bills can fluctuate, which makes it harder to budget. On the plus side, there are no ETFs — you’re free to cancel your plan or switch providers at any time.
- No-deposit plans: Many energy companies in Big Spring will ask for an upfront deposit if your credit score doesn’t meet their standards. However, if you qualify for a no-deposit plan, you won’t have to worry about this. And if your credit is low, consider a prepaid plan. These plans don’t require a deposit — you’ll pay for power in advance and refill your account when funds get low.
- 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.
