Residents of Spring and other areas of Texas have the power to choose their energy plan, meaning that you have several Spring electricity providers to choose from. Each works hard to earn your business through competitive pricing and plan variety. This is where SaveOnEnergy can help. We do the homework for you, making sense of all your options to help you find the cheapest electricity rates in Spring quickly and easily.
Using our marketplace to compare electricity rates is a great choice when shopping for energy providers or new plans. The process is easy — all you have to do is:
Spring electricity rates vary throughout the year, which you can see in the chart below. The chart highlights the average energy rate across Texas in cents per kilowatt-hour (¢/kWh) based on data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). This chart can help you decide when to purchase your plan and find cheap electricity in Spring. Electricity rates are more expensive in the summer months, when the temperatures rise and there’s a high chance of hurricanes.
There are several trusted energy companies in Spring. Because it is part of the deregulated energy market in Texas, customers can select Spring energy providers (also called retail electric providers or REPs). These companies buy the electricity and sell it to customers; the electricity is then distributed to customers’ homes by their utility company. Utilities (also called electric suppliers) are determined by location, so residents cannot choose their own.
If you experience a power outage or encounter a downed power line, contact your utility company, not your energy supplier. You can notify CenterPoint Energy of any power outages by either of the following methods:
Energy prices change based on your location due to the utility transmission fee, which is why you could have the same plan and provider as someone else in your area and yet pay different prices for electricity. Read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to learn about transmission and utility charges for the plan you want.
Entering your ZIP code allows you to find the most accurate electricity rates near you.
Weather impacts your energy rate because it influences demand. When more people use their air conditioners, it increases energy usage. In Spring, the temperatures average over 90 degrees from June through September. Meanwhile, the weather is more moderate from November through March. Knowing this, it’s wise to secure the best Spring electricity rates when demand is lower. If you’re moving to the area, use our marketplace to find the best plan for your needs by entering your ZIP code above.
There are a few different types of energy plans available in Spring, including fixed-rate, no-deposit, and variable-rate plans. If you have questions, give us a call at the phone number on your screen.
If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you will receive the same energy rate for the duration of your contract, typically between 12 and 36 months. You don’t have to worry about fluctuations in the market with a fixed-rate plan. If you do need to switch plans, you may incur an early termination fee.
With a variable-rate plan, your energy rate fluctuates each month depending on the rise and fall of the energy market. Some months, you’ll pay less than those with a fixed-rate plan, whereas other times, you’ll pay more. You do gain the freedom to switch plans without penalty, as there are no contracts with variable-rate plans.
It is common for suppliers to check your credit before starting service. One way to avoid a credit check is by selecting a no-deposit plan. With this plan type, you prepay for electricity as you go, with your provider notifying you when your balance runs low.
Texas is a leader in green energy, producing the most wind energy in the nation. It’s also within the top five states for solar energy production. Because of this, Spring locals have many options in terms of green energy plans.
Every electricity plan sold in the Lone Star State includes at least a percentage of renewable energy. To find out how much of your plan’s energy comes from renewable sources, view your Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
