Frontier Utilities plans
Frontier Utilities has many plans to choose from so that you can choose the best one for your home or business. Below are some of Frontier’s top plans, but keep in mind that not all plans will be available in each ZIP code. Early termination fees are $150 for 12-month plans and $175 for 24-month plans.
Best Value 12
One of the most affordable energy plans on the market, this plan is best for those who use between 1,000 and 1,500 kWh. It’s a 12-month fixed-rate plan with a $75 bill credit for usage between 1,000 and 1,500 kWh. We do not recommend this plan to customers who use less than 1,000 kWh or more than 1,500 kWh because they will not qualify for the bill credit, resulting in a higher bill.
Beat the Heat 12
Customers can earn a $75 bill credit with this 12-month fixed-rate plan when they use 1,000 kWh or more per month. We do not recommend this plan for customers using less than 1,000 kWh because they won’t qualify for the bill credit.
Frontier Max 12
This 12-month fixed-rate plan is for high energy users. Customers get a $100 bill credit for each month their usage is between 2000-2500 kWh. If you don’t use a lot of electricity, this plan is not a good choice because the bill credit won’t apply.
Light Saver 12+
A fixed-rate plan that is best for high-usage customers because your rate per kWh is lower if you use at least 2,000 kWh per billing cycle. If you use less than 2,000 kWh each month, you’ll be charged an $8 service fee.
Simple Power 12
This plan has a $53 flat fee for usage up to 500 kWh, making it perfect for apartments or customers that don’t use a lot of electricity. It’s a 12-month fixed-rate plan, and any usage beyond 500 kWh is charged at a standard rate (currently 17.6 cents per kWh). We recommend this plan to customers typically using 500 kWh or less each month.
Stay Cozy 12
The Stay Cozy 12 is a 12-month fixed-rate plan with a $40 bill credit if usage is between 1,900 and 2,400 kWh. We do not recommend this for customers who use small and medium amounts of electricity (the average usage in Texas is about 1,500 kWh a month).
