Fixed-rate plans in Delaware
Fixed-rate plans secure your energy rate for the duration of the contract. Your rates would be set for a certain time, usually a 12–36 month contract, helping you avoid changeable bills even if market energy rates are spiking. However, you may be subject to an early termination fee (ETF) if you decide to leave the contract early. The amount you pay monthly could also fluctuate slightly if local utility fees change.
Variable-rate plans in Delaware
In variable-rate plans, your energy rate changes based on what the current energy wholesale prices are doing. If energy rates go up, that will be reflected on your monthly bill. However, people like these contracts because consumers can save money if market energy rates decrease. These plans often have no contracts, so you don’t have to pay an ETF if you switch providers. Variable-rate plans also often have low starting rates.
No-deposit and prepaid energy plans in Delaware
You may have to pay a deposit before the plan begins depending on your credit score, usually if your credit score is below a certain threshold. However, no-deposit plans allow you to waive that requirement. A common type of no-deposit plan is the prepaid plan, where you put money into an account that draws down to pay your monthly energy bill. When your account runs low, you typically get a notification. You can find these types of plans on the SaveOnEnergy marketplace by filtering for no-deposit or prepaid plans.
