Fixed Rate Plan

A fixed-rate plan has a set rate for electricity that does not change during your electricity contract period. There will be minor changes in state fees for electricity Transmission and Distribution, ERCOT or Texas administrative fees, or changes to federal, state or local laws. Those relatively minor fees are beyond your electricity provider’s control.

This is a safe and conservative type of electric plan that will help with your business or household budget. The only trivial downside risk is electricity rates fall, you may have to wait until your contract ends to take advantage of a lower rate for electricity. Don’t give in to FOMO. It’s not worth it!

Variable Rate Plan

Variable rate plans have no monthly contract or cancellation fee, but the rate you pay per kWh can vary from month to month. Your rate can go up or down based on the market and the discretion of your electric company. Variable plans allow customers to benefit from falling market rates, but they also have an increased risk for higher rates if electricity rates spike due to natural disasters, cold winters, or adverse market conditions.

The rates that competing electricity companies charge each month throughout the year will vary; however, because customers can switch any time, electric companies have an incentive to keep their customers happy and electricity rates low.

Index / Market Rate Plan

An indexed rate plan (also known as a “market rate plan”) is similar to a variable plan in that the rate per kWh can go up or down each month. The rate for this type of plan is linked to a market index. If the index rises, your monthly rate will also, but if the index falls, your rates will be lower.

With an indexed plan, the rate per kWh for electricity can change substantially each month, giving benefits and risks similar to those of variable rate plans. The difference is that the rates for indexed rate plans are tied to a publicly index. If you can handle the financial risk (similar to gambling), you better understand the pricing formula and the market index changes.
