Types of Mesquite electric plans

While shopping for an electricity plan in Mesquite, you’ll have a variety of options to choose from. A few of the most common types of energy plans include:

• Fixed-rate plan: A fixed-rate energy plan is one where you lock in a contract and pay the same rates for your electricity supply each month. Even as the market fluctuates, your supply rate won’t change for the life of your contract. One drawback is that if you cancel your plan early, you may have to pay an early termination fee. These plans are ideal if you’re looking for long-term predictability and stability.
• Variable-rate plan: A variable-rate energy plan is one where your electricity supply rate fluctuates with the market. You may end up paying lower rates when the market goes down, but when demand increases and prices rise, you can expect your rate to go up. On the plus side, you can cancel or switch your plan at any time without paying an ETF. If you’re a short-term renter or move frequently, you might consider one of these plans.
• No-deposit plan: Many energy plans require an upfront deposit, especially for residents with low credit. A no-deposit plan allows customers to skip this payment. These are most commonly available for residents with high credit scores, although prepaid plans are another option. A prepaid energy plan, also known as a pay-as-you-go plan, is a popular energy option in Texas. With this type of plan, you pay upfront for your electricity use and top up your balance when it gets low. You may have to pay a higher rate than a typical fixed-rate plan.
