Types of plans in Copperas Cove
When comparing Copperas Cove electric companies, you may find different types of energy plans to choose from. You can fully explore these in our guide to picking a plan, or call the number on your screen to speak with one of our energy experts. Here is a basic rundown of the different plan types.
Fixed-rate plans
A fixed-price plan secures the rate you pay for electricity, giving you more predictability so you can better budget for your energy needs. These plans usually include a contract of one to three years, during which your price per kWh won’t change. You will most likely have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel or switch your contract early (unless you’re moving out of the service area).
Variable-rate plans
If you know you’ll need to move in the near future or simply prefer the flexibility to cancel anytime, a variable-rate plan might be a good option for you. With this type of plan, you won’t have a contract or any ETFs. However, your rate can go up or down from month to month because it’s determined by the wholesale cost of electricity.
No-deposit plans
When you sign up for a plan with a new electricity provider, the company may run a credit check and charge you a deposit if your score is low. That deposit doesn’t go toward your energy costs — it only serves as insurance for the electric company in case you don’t pay your bills. If you’d rather avoid the credit check and only pay for energy as you go, you can search for providers with no-deposit or prepaid plans.
Green electricity
Several Copperas Cove electric companies offer green energy products. In fact, all Texas electricity plans include at least a portion of green energy — and some are fully powered by renewable sources. When you enroll in a green energy plan, you can offset your electricity consumption with renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy.
