Current energy trends for winter 2025 in Fort Worth
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts that Fort Worth will experience warmer temperatures and low rainfall this winter. Moderate temperatures often lead to low energy demand and desirable electricity rates. Consider switching your electricity plan in the coming months if you want to find a cheaper electricity rate.
How weather affects Fort Worth electricity rates
Texans are used to dramatic weather, especially during summer, when temperatures often soar past the 90s. Weather patterns tend to affect energy rates because they impact electricity demand. Residents and businesses rely on constant air conditioning during the hot summer months to stay cool. This increased demand can strain the power grid and drive up energy costs. Similarly, winter storms, such as the one experienced in 2021, can leave millions without electricity for days because the power grid is often ill-equipped for winter weather.
Due to this, it is often cheaper to shop for electricity during seasons with moderate temperatures, such as late fall and early spring. Since these seasons tend to be mild, the energy demand is low, and the power grid has sufficient capacity. If you are thinking about switching energy providers, check energy prices on SaveOnEnergy in the upcoming months to find low rates.
Types of plans in Fort Worth
Fort Worth residents can select from a variety of electricity plans, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, no-deposit, and green energy plans. Our guide to choosing the right energy plan can help you pick the best option for your needs. Call the number on your screen to speak with an energy expert and get your questions answered.
Fixed-rate plans in Fort Worth
Fixed-rate plans give you the same rate throughout your contract term. Contracts usually last from one to three years. One major benefit of these plans is avoiding price spikes when demand increases. You’ll have a good idea of your monthly bill, and you won’t have to worry about tracking your usage when prices go up. If you decide to change providers during your contract, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
Variable-rate plans in Fort Worth
With a variable-rate plan, your electricity rate changes each month based on the market price. Because of this, you risk getting a hefty electricity bill when prices spike during the summer. However, a variable-rate plan could be a good option if you need a short-term solution. A major benefit of this type of plan is that you won’t have a contract and will not be required to pay a fee to switch providers.
No-deposit plans in Fort Worth
Most electricity providers in Texas require a deposit to begin service if customers do not meet their credit limit. If you have low credit and are worried about paying a deposit, consider a no-deposit plan. No-deposit plans allow you to skip the deposit and use your first payment towards your energy bill.
SaveOnEnergy partners with Payless Power to provide Fort Worth customers a no-deposit option. Payless Power offers prepaid plans, in which customers prepay for a portion of their electricity and then refill their account when the balance runs low.
Green electricity in Fort Worth
Texas is a nationwide leader in green energy generation. The Lone Star State ranks first nationally in wind energy production and second in solar energy generation. Thanks to this strong focus on renewable energy, all Texas energy plans contain some green power. Read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to check the exact amount of green energy it includes.
