Types of Spring electric plans

When you shop for electricity on Choose Texas Power, you might come across different plan types, including fixed-rate and variable-rate plans. Here’s how the most popular plan structures work:

• Fixed-rate plans: You’ll have the same energy rate for your entire contract term, unless you use more or less than your set usage level. Typically, fixed-rate contracts last between 12 and 36 months. You will usually have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel or switch providers before the contract ends.
• Variable-rate plans: These are flexible month-to-month agreements without contracts or ETFs. Instead, your rate is linked to the wholesale energy market and can change each month. This results in higher rates when demand is up and lower rates when demand falls, making variable-rate plans risky.
• No-deposit plans: Most Spring electricity providers run a credit check during the sign-up process. If your score falls below a certain threshold, you’ll have to pay a deposit. However, you can avoid the credit check and deposit if you opt for a no-deposit plan (such as a prepaid plan). You’ll pay for power in advance and top up your account when the funds run 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.
