Types of plans in Stamford

Your needs determine which electric rate is right for you. Here are some Stamford electric plans you should know about:

• Fixed-rate: When you choose a fixed-rate plan, you will lock in rates for electricity for a specified period. Your electricity rates will remain constant throughout the term of the contract, even when market prices fluctuate. The fixed-rate applies only to electricity supply — government fees and taxes may change. Fixed-rate plans come in different lengths, with the most popular being 12, 24, and 36 months.
• Variable-rate: Under this type of plan, the rate you pay for electricity can go up and down depending on how much it costs your provider to buy or generate electricity for your home. Your electricity bill may vary from one month to the next. However, variable-rate plans do not involve cancellation fees or contracts, making them more flexible.
• No-deposit plan: Providers typically run a credit check to determine whether customers must pay a deposit. If the deposit is too high or the customer doesn’t meet the provider’s credit threshold, prepaid plans can be available. Under those plans, you must pay upfront every month and consume power until you reach the limit of the initial payment. If you are near your limit, you’ll have to refresh the account.
