🔌Pro Tip: The cheapest electricity rate in the market is typically a bill credit plan. These plans are designed to show a low price at the specific usage of 1000 kWh. But make sure to read the detailed summary on each plan to ensure it fits with your monthly electricity usage. If your usage varies each month, you may be better off with a basic fixed rate electricity plan.
Types of Electricity Plans in Abilene
Texas electricity plans can be variable, with the rate changing monthly, or fixed, with the energy rate set for the term of your agreement. Within that fixed rate category, there are different types of electricity plans to choose from. Here are the types of plans you’ll find on ElectricityPlans.com:
Basic Fixed Rate – This is what most people mean when they think of fixed rate plans. One simple electricity price for all your usage, plus delivery costs. We have two flavors of Basic Fixed Rate. Those with no monthly base charge or minimum usage charge are rated a 5/5 on our BillSmart Plan Score, as having the most predictable bills. Those with a monthly fee score a 4/5 on the BillSmart Plan Score. You can shop based on Plan Score using the filters on our site.
Bill Credit/Tiered Rate – complex plans with fixed rates that also include a bill credit for specific levels of usage. These plans may also include tiers, where you pay, for example, a different fixed rate for the first 500 kWh, then a different rate for the next 500 and a third rate for everything over 1000. These complex plans are rated a 1/5 on our BillSmart Plan Score scale; that’s your sign to read all the fine print before you sign.
Free Nights and Weekends – free electricity at certain times, with a fixed rate during other times of the day/week. Read all the fine print on these plans, since your rate depends on when you use power.
No Deposit Electricity – fixed rate prepaid electricity plans with no deposit and no SSN needed
Green Electricity – fixed rate electricity plans backed by 100% renewable energy certificates
Electricity prices are always quoted “all in” at a specific usage level, incorporating energy rates, base charges, delivery charges and any bill credits into an average price. But that all-in rate can be easily manipulated by electricity providers to look cheap at exactly 1000 kWh.

We recommend shopping for a new electricity supplier every time your contract expires. That’s because providers typically charge the lowest rates to new customers.
Follow these tips when you switch electricity providers:
- Look for the best electricity plan. Your electricity plan is your rate, term, termination fee and type of plan. Be sure to consider all these items, not just the price per kWh.
- Shop based on your usage. Check your average monthly usage. Then shop based on usage instead of 500, 1000 or 2000 kWh.
- Shop ahead of time. Don’t wait until your contract expires. You can shop up to 60 days ahead of time. Just remember to pick a start date for your new provider.
- Pick your type of plan. We always recommend fixed rate plans. Basic fixed rates are a good option for most homes.
