Secure Savings
The Secure Savings plan is a fixed-rate electricity plan available with both 12- and 36-month contracts. This is Ambit Energy’s most affordable plan and secures your rate for the length of your contract.
Free & Clear Nights 12
The Free & Clear Nights 12 plan is a fixed-rate plan with a 12-month contract. This plan offers free energy from 9:00 PM to 5:59 AM and relies on 100% wind energy.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup
- Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
- Price per kilowatt-hour based on your energy usage
- The plan’s percentage of renewable energy sourcing
- Early termination fees
- Enjoy hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
- Understanding your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees appear as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

The rate Ambit Energy charges in one part of the state could be different from what you pay in your city, even for the same plan. That’s why it’s essential to shop for rates in your area.
