Types of Denton electric plans

An important part of shopping for a new energy provider is getting to know the various plan options. The Choose Texas Power marketplace features several popular plan types. 

  • Fixed-rate plan: These plans give you a guaranteed electricity rate for the duration of the contract. Fixed-rate plans typically vary in length from one to three years. They protect you against sudden spikes in energy prices when demand increases or power generation drops. If you want to switch plans before your contract expires, you may need to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
  • Variable-rate plan: With this type of plan, your rate fluctuates in line with the market price. You may find a cheap rate during seasons of low energy demand. However, when market prices go up, your rate will rise as well. There’s no fixed contract with a variable-rate plan, meaning you can switch whenever you like.
  • No-deposit plan: If your credit score doesn’t meet a certain threshold, your provider may require you to pay a deposit before starting service. With a no-deposit plan, you can opt out of the deposit with a high credit score or avoid a credit check altogether. A popular type of no-deposit plan is a prepaid agreement. You pay for your energy usage up front and top up your balance when it gets low.
