Moving or switching?
Whether you’re moving to a new house or simply ready for a different electricity plan, you can use SaveOnEnergy to discover the best provider for your situation. Here’s how.
Moving to a new address
If you’re coming to Pflugerville from another part of Texas, you can often transfer your current plan to your new home. For more information, contact your light company a few weeks before your move. However, if you’re new to Texas or your current company doesn’t operate in Pflugerville, you can rely on SaveOnEnergy to find another cheap electricity provider. Simply enter your new ZIP code into the SaveOnEnergy marketplace to get started.
Switching energy providers
Already live in Pflugerville? You can switch energy providers if you’re looking for a lower rate, want a different type of plan, or are simply dissatisfied with your service. But before you commit to a new plan, make sure to read the fine print on your current one. If you have a fixed-rate plan, you may be charged an early termination fee (ETF) for canceling it.
Types of plans in Pflugerville
Just like you have a choice in providers, you also have a choice in electricity plan types. We’ve provided a breakdown of the most common ones below (and you can learn more in our guide to selecting an energy plan). If you still have questions, call us at the number listed on this page.
Fixed-rate plans
With one of these plans, your energy rate will remain the same during your contract period (usually 12, 24, or 36 months). This offers more predictable energy costs, but it requires a long-term commitment. Also, energy companies in Pflugerville typically charge ETFs if you cancel a fixed-rate plan early.
Variable-rate plans
Variable-rate plans don’t have stable electricity rates; instead, they can fluctuate each month depending on the market price of energy. When demand increases, your rate likely will, too — but it can also decrease when demand is lower. With a variable-rate plan, you won’t need to sign a contract, and you can leave your plan at any time.
No-deposit plans
When you sign up with a new Pflugerville electric company, they’ll typically perform a credit check. If your credit score doesn’t meet their threshold, you’ll usually have to pay a deposit. Signing up for a no-deposit plan is one way to avoid this part of the process. With a prepaid plan, for example, you’ll pay for electricity before you use it. You’ll receive an alert from your provider when it’s time to top up your account funds.
Green electricity
Texas is one of the country’s top states for green energy generation. Not only does it produce the most electricity from wind in the nation, but it also ranks second for solar power production. As such, Pflugerville residents can choose from a number of renewable energy plans.
Whenever you buy an electricity plan in Texas, it will include some renewable energy. Some electricity plans in Pflugerville, including those from Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy, are 100% green. You’ll find the precise percentage of renewable content on the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
Business energy plans
If you own a company in Pflugerville, you can benefit from deregulation, too. By partnering with SaveOnEnergy, you’ll get a commercial energy plan that’s personalized for your company. To get started, complete our business energy form or call the number on your screen to speak with an energy expert.
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 usage
- % renewable energy sourcing
- Early termination fees
- Sit back and let your supplier handle the 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.
- Understand your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

Pflugerville energy FAQs
The best electricity plan will depend on your specific energy needs. If you enjoy long-term stability and predictable energy costs, look for fixed-rate plans. But if flexibility is more important, you might try a variable-rate plan.
Once you’ve submitted your ZIP code, use our filtering tool and select “green energy.” This will allow you to compare renewable plans in your area.
Signing up for an energy plan with a cheaper rate is one option, but you can also lower your utility bill by using less electricity. There are quite a few ways to do this, including sealing up drafty doors or windows, taking quicker showers, unplugging unused appliances, and switching to a smart thermostat.
A kilowatt-hour — or kWh — is an expression of energy consumption. It’s used by electricity providers to track usage and express how much they charge for electricity, which is cents per kWh.
In summer and winter, homes and businesses use more electricity for cooling and heating purposes. As a result, electricity prices tend to spike during these times. But less energy is required in spring and fall, when temperatures are milder. Rates are generally more affordable in these seasons, so it’s best to shop for a new plan then when rates are cheaper.
