Types of plans in Tyler
Our marketplace gives you access to a wide variety of energy plans, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, no-deposit, and renewable options. We also offer several resources and guides to help you pick an energy plan. If you have questions about your plan options, you can call the number on this page to speak with one of our energy experts.
Fixed-rate plans
A fixed-rate plan provides predictable energy pricing for a set amount of time. Most fixed-rate plans last 12, 24, or 36 months, but other term options may be available. If you need to cancel before your contract ends, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF).
Variable-rate plans
Variable-rate plans do not require a contract because they don’t lock in your energy rate. Instead, your pricing fluctuates monthly depending on the wholesale cost of energy. These plans are most beneficial for customers who need a flexible, short-term option.
No-deposit plans
Many plans require an upfront deposit if your credit score doesn’t meet a certain threshold. This deposit doesn’t go toward your energy costs, so you may prefer to avoid it. Many providers offer no-deposit energy plans — such as prepaid plans — which allow you to pay for energy upfront and avoid a credit check.
Green electricity
Texas is the country’s largest producer of wind energy, and it currently ranks second for solar energy generation. Because of Texas’ stronghold in the renewable energy sector, every Tyler electricity plan includes at least some percentage of renewable energy. Read each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to learn the specific amount. Some providers even offer 100% green energy plans. If you want to lock in a fully green plan, check out Gexa Energy or Green Mountain Energy.
Business energy plans
Businesses in Tyler also benefit from deregulation, allowing owners to choose their energy providers and plans. Explore our business energy page or call one of our energy experts to receive customized business electricity solutions.
