You can learn about the most common types of energy plans below. If you have questions or need more help, call the number on your screen to speak with an energy specialist.

Fixed-rate plans

A fixed-rate energy plan allows you to lock in your rate with a contract ranging from 12 to 36 months. During your contract, your energy rate won’t fluctuate with the energy market. This type of plan is best for those that want stability in their energy bill. However, if you want to end your service early, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).

Variable-rate plans

A variable-rate energy plan doesn’t require a contract, nor does it allow you to secure a steady energy rate. Instead, your monthly rate is based on the wholesale cost of energy and can change throughout the year. Your energy bill may be higher during some months but lower during others. However, you can switch at any time without penalty because there is no contract.

No-deposit plans

Energy providers often set a credit threshold. If your credit score is lower than this threshold, you may need to pay a deposit before the provider will begin your service. However, some providers offer no-deposit options. Prepaid energy plans are the most common type of no-deposit plan and allow you to pay for your energy ahead of time. In Arlington, Payless Power offers several no-deposit, prepaid energy plans.

Business energy plans

Businesses in Arlington can also choose their energy providers and secure an affordable commercial energy rate. To build your custom business energy plan, fill out our business energy form or call the number on your screen to speak with an energy expert today.

Each Texas energy plan includes a percentage of green energy — you can find out exactly how much by checking your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Certain providers offer 100% green energy plans. Those companies include Gexa Energy, Chariot Energy, and Green Mountain Energy. Currently on the SaveOnEnergy marketplace, the cheapest Arlington green energy plan is offered by Gexa Energy and starts at 8.2 cents per kWh.

Energy providers and utility companies in Arlington

Arlington residents can choose their energy provider thanks to deregulation in Texas. In deregulated areas, the energy provider and utility company are responsible for different things. 

• Your energy provider is the company that generates or buys energy and sells it to customers. In Arlington, there are several excellent energy providers, including TXU Energy, Gexa Energy, Reliant Energy, Payless Power, and many more. Enter your ZIP code to explore all of the available providers in Arlington.
• The utility company, on the other hand, transports electricity from the provider to your home. The utility company is also in charge of maintaining local electric infrastructure and restoring power if there is an outage. You cannot choose your utility company because it is based on your location. In Arlington, the utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery.

How weather affects Arlington electricity rates

Arlington tends to have hot summers and mild winters and springs. In the summer, when temperatures reach 95 degrees, energy demand tends to spike, causing the wholesale cost of energy to increase. However, during times of the year when temperatures are more moderate, demand can decrease and lead to lower energy rates.

Energy demand in Arlington is normally lower during the fall and spring months, which leads to lower energy rates. Shopping for an energy plan when demand is low can allow you to secure a cheaper energy rate with a fixed-rate plan. Enter your ZIP code to check today’s current rates in your area.
