Types of plans in Paris
You can choose between a variety of energy plans in Paris. Each option has unique advantages. If you’d like further advice on the best plan for you, feel free to call the number on your screen to speak to one of our energy experts.
Fixed-rate plans in Paris
A fixed-rate plan secures you a specific price for your electricity during your contract length. Plans often range from 12 to 36 months in duration. The advantage of these plans is that you avoid high prices when the cost of energy increases and your energy bill remains predictable. However, you may have to pay an ETF if you terminate your agreement prematurely.
Variable-rate plans in Paris
A variable-rate plan means that the price you pay for your electricity can change on a monthly basis, depending on demand. The advantage of a variable-rate plan is that you can benefit from the cheaper energy prices during periods of lower demand. You also won’t have to pay an ETF if you switch since variable-rate plans don’t have a contract.
No-deposit plans in Paris
Most electricity plans require you to pay a deposit if you don’t meet your provider’s credit threshold. If you’d rather avoid this initial payment, you can opt for a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan. This type of plan requires you to pay an amount towards your electricity bill upfront and top up your balance when it runs low.
Green electricity in Paris
Green electricity plans are becoming increasingly popular as more people try to switch to clean energy options. Every plan in Texas has some green energy in it, thanks to the rapid expansion of wind energy and solar power in the state in recent years. You can find how much green energy is in your plan by consulting the Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
Some Paris electricity plans use 100% green energy. Providers like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy offer these options in Paris.
