The Different Types of Electricity Plans in Dallas

You have a lot of options for your electricity plan in Dallas area, including fixed rate or variable-rate plans.

The different electricity plans available in Dallas are: 1. Fixed-rate plan: With this plan, your electricity rate will remain the same for the duration of your contract. This type of plan is ideal for customers who are on a budget and want to predict their energy costs. 2. Variable-rate plan: With this plan, your electricity rate will fluctuate with the market, so it could go up or down.

We recommend basic fixed rate electricity plans. These fit the needs of most consumers, as you won’t have to worry about using too much or too little.

Many electricity providers offer bill credit, tiered rate or flat bill plans. If you choose these, make sure you shop using your monthly electricity usage, instead of shopping based on 500, 1000 or 2000 kWh. Most of these plans have fine print on when the bill credit or low rate applies. If you use more or less than the plan specifies, you will pay a higher rate.

Green energy and renewable power plans are gaining in popularity. They are priced the same as traditional energy, and are sometimes the cheaper electricity options for DFW homes.

You can also pick from free nights electricity plans, or energy plans that pay you to conserve energy.

Below you’ll find our picks for best fixed rate, best free electricity and best apartment plans.

Note that all of these plans are also applicable in Dallas suburbs like Arlington Texas.

The Best Electricity Plans in Dallas

For most Dallas residents, finding the best electricity plan in Dallas depends on two things:

1. The desired contract length
2. Your monthly kWh usage.

Once you know those two figures? Then you’ll be able to find the energy plan that gives you the best electricity prices.

Is a Long Term or Short Term Plan Better?

If you moved into your home in the summer, you’ll likely find yourself renewing your electricity plan every summer. Summer (especially August) is the time of year when power prices are highest. It might be worth the expense to sign up for a short term plan or a month to month rate. And then you can commit to a longer term electricity plan when rates are cheaper in the spring or fall.

And if you’re only going to be living in your current home or apartment for a short period of time, you may want to consider a 12 month plan.

But always consider a longer term contract to see if it’s a better deal. All energy providers purchase electricity on the wholesale market. Sometimes power prices are projected to drop in the future. If that’s the case, a long term electricity plan may be your cheapest one.

FAQ: What if I move during my contract term? No worries. f you move during the term of your contract, you have two options. You can take your plan with you to your new home (if it’s in the same utility areas). Or you can cancel your contract with no penalty. According to the rules of the Texas Public Utility Commission, your provider cannot charge you a cancellation fee if you provide proof of a change of address.

How Does Average Monthly Electricity Usage Impact my Rate?

If you’re searching for cheap electric plans in your area you’ll probably notice that providers offer three different rates for each plan. These rates represent the average rate you would pay for 500, 1,000 or 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month. But the average home in Texas uses 1,200 kWh a month. So those average prices may not even apply to you.

That’s why the best way to shop is to use your monthly kWh usage. First, check your recent electric bills to find your average usage. Then use our Electricity Bill Calculator from the advanced search.

We’ll automatically calculate rates based on your usage. You can view the average price for each electricity plan based on your home. And we’ll show you the estimated monthly bill for each plan.

Dallas Electricity FAQs

Here are answers to some common questions in Dallas electricity.

Best Fixed Rate Electricity Plans (No Gimmicks)

Some plans with gimmicks are a great deal. By gimmicks, we’re referring to tiered rates, bill credits or flat bill plans that look amazing at exactly 1000 or 2000 kWh. These plans are great if you read our description, review the plan details, and use exactly within the plan’s usage parameters.

But for easy electricity shopping, we always recommend Basic Electricity fixed rate electricity plans. These plans charge the same rate per kWh of electricity, no matter how much you use. Delivery charges are passed through at cost and may impact your total cost per kWh each month. But your rate per kWh of electricity is fixed.

Here are the top 10 cheapest fixed rate plans in Dallas Fort Worth area.

Best Free Nights & Weekends Electricity Plans in Dallas

The best free nights and weekends electricity plans in Dallas are from Pulse Power. You’ll hear about TXU Free Pass and Direct Energy Twelve Hour Power on the TV and Radio. But Pulse Power offers the cheapest free electricity rates.

Best Apartment Electricity Plans in Dallas

If you are moving into a new apartment, you may be looking for a short term electricity plan. Just know that if you move during your contract, your early termination fee is waived.

So you should shop for the cheapest electricity plan for your apartment. You don’t need your electricity contract to match your lease term.

If a long term electricity plan gives you the cheapest rate (like it does right now), feel free to pick that long term plan. When you move, you can cancel the contract, or take it with you to your next apartment.

These prices are shown based on 1000 kWh per month. You may use more or less than that depending on the size of your apartment and how new and energy efficient your apartment is.

Best Renewable Energy 100% Green Electricity Plans in Dallas

Many electricity companies offer green energy. Here are some of them.

Gexa Energy offers 100% renewable on all of their plans. Their parent company invests in wind and solar projects in Texas. Or check out newcomers Rhythm or Energy Texas, both with excellent rates for 100% renewable wind energy! You can also find plans for 100% solar energy.

Electric Companies in Dallas with No Deposit Electricity and No Credit Check

Most energy companies in Dallas will run a credit check before offering you service. If you don’t meet the minimum credit level, you would have to pay a deposit. Or you would have to show proof of good payment history, or qualify for a waiver. And that makes prepaid electricity your best option for no deposit/no credit check electricity in DFW.

Payless Power offers the best prepaid electricity in North Texas, including a fixed rate 12 month term offer. Call them as late as 6pm, Monday-Saturday and get same day electricity service: 866-934-3451.
