Tyler Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Tyler energy plans

Fixed-rate plans are usually the best electricity plans in Tyler for most residents. This plan type provides a stable energy rate throughout your contract. Many popular fixed-rate plans include bill credits, which can significantly lower your electricity bill when your monthly usage surpasses the plan’s threshold. Understanding your typical electricity usage will help you identify plans with the best savings opportunities and predictable bills.

Here are a few popular, trusted Tyler electricity plans to consider:

Most popular plan: Express Flash Value 12

The Express Flash Value 12 is a solid, affordable option for many Tyler residents. The plan includes a $125 bill credit each month you use at least 1,000 kWh — allowing you to save a significant chunk on your bill. For households that regularly surpass 1,000 kWh, the Flash Value 12 plan can help lower your overall energy costs and lock in a competitive rate. Express Energy also offers a solid 60-day satisfaction guarantee if the plan is not a good fit.

Best for large homes: TXU Smart Saver 1,000 12

Higher-usage households can reap the benefits of TXU Energy’s Smart Saver 1,000 12 plan this summer. Lock in a steady electric rate for one year, and benefit from a $100 bill credit each month you use over 1,000 kWh. You’ll also receive an additional $25 monthly bill credit all summer long for hitting this usage level. Enroll with TXU and enjoy top-rated customer service as summer prices peak.

Best for small homes: Gexa Eco Saver Lite 12

For customers with smaller homes or lower usage in general, Gexa Energy’s Eco Saver Lite 12 plan is a solid choice. Benefit from a $50 bill credit each month you use more than 500 kWh. With a lower bill credit threshold than most fixed-rate plans, the Eco Saver Lite lets you secure predictable, affordable bills during the volatile summer market. It’s also 100% renewable, helping you reduce your carbon footprint while keeping your bills low.

The best electricity plan for your home will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage, and whether you consistently qualify for any bill credits.

Types of Tyler electric plans

If you live in a deregulated energy region like Tyler, you’ll discover a number of plan structures when shopping. Learn more about plan types to help you choose the best one for you:

• Fixed-rate plan: These plans guarantee the same rate for the length of your contract, which usually lasts from 12 to 36 months. Fixed-rate plans offer stability and predictability, protecting you from market fluctuations. However, you’ll likely have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your contract before it ends. Read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to determine what kinds of fees come with your fixed-rate plan.
• Variable-rate plan: With a variable-rate plan, your rate can change each month based on fluctuations in the market. You may save money when the market price is low, but your energy bill will be high when rates spike. On the plus side, you’re not beholden to a contract—you can cancel or switch your plan at any time with no penalty.
• No-deposit plan: Many electricity plans in Tyler require an upfront deposit after a credit check. Depending on your credit score, you may qualify for a no-deposit plan to skip the deposit when you enroll. To avoid any credit check or deposit, enroll in a prepaid electricity plan. On these plans, you prepay for electricity and load your account as needed.
• 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.
