Types of Georgetown electric plans

Before you start exploring Georgetown electricity rates, it helps to understand the differences between popular types of plans. Here are some of the most common options:

• Fixed-rate plans: These plans usually have 12-, 24-, or 36-month contracts. During that time, your electricity rate will remain the same, which is ideal if you value more long-term predictable energy costs. One downside of fixed-rate plans is that they typically have early termination fees (ETFs) if you end your plan before the contract is up.
• Variable-rate plans: You won’t get a fixed rate or contract with a variable-rate plan. Instead, your energy rate is linked to the wholesale cost of electricity. This means that you’ll pay more when market prices increase, but you can also save money when prices drop. Plus, you can switch providers whenever you’d like — with no ETF. Variable-rate plans are the more flexible option, so they may be a good choice for short-term renters or customers who move frequently.
• No-deposit plans: It’s common for Georgetown electricity providers to charge a deposit on their energy plans. If you’d rather not put down any money upfront, you can opt for a no-deposit plan. For example, with a prepaid plan, you’ll load money into your account to pay for your energy usage in advance. Then, you can replenish the funds as they run low.

Understanding Georgetown electric rates

When shopping for energy plans, you should always factor in your location to get the most accurate pricing. This is important because rates vary across the state due to factors like utility transmission fees and local taxes. As a result, you may pay a different rate than a friend in another location, even if you have the same plan.
