Compare energy providers with SaveOnEnergy
A deregulated energy market gives residential and commercial customers the power to choose their electricity company. One advantage of this opportunity is the ability to pick the best energy plan for your home or business’s needs. However, signing up for a new plan or switching providers can be a daunting task. The SaveOnEnergy marketplace offers a free and straightforward way to compare energy companies and sign up for an affordable rate — all in one place.
We partner with dozens of trusted providers in deregulated markets across the U.S. to help you find electricity and natural gas plans. By entering your ZIP code on this page, you can explore the following options:
- Rate type: The most common rate types are fixed and variable. Some electricity companies offer only one or the other. With a fixed-rate plan, you pay the same price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) each month for the duration of your contract. Variable-rate plans rates are subject to change monthly based on overall energy demand. You can use SaveOnEnergy’s filters to sort through various rate types.
- Term length: Energy companies offer a variety of term lengths, typically ranging from one to three years. Some providers offer shorter options, such as month-to-month plans. If you prioritize price stability, you may want to choose a longer contract. But if you’re unsure when you may want to switch providers, a short-term option may be best.
- Plan options: Many local energy companies offer attractive plan features, such as prepaid electricity, no-deposit plans, time-of-use savings, and green energy. You can read more about these features to determine which options will help you get the most out of your electricity plan.

Types of energy plans
As mentioned, there are multiple types of deregulated energy plans available on our marketplace. Here are some of the most popular types of plans you may encounter while shopping for electricity:
- Fixed-rate plans: This option features a set electricity rate for the duration of your contract, which typically lasts between one and three years. If you cancel your plan before your contract is up, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF). Fixed-rate plans are great if you’re looking for a predictable energy rate that can be easily fit into your monthly budget.
- Variable-rate plans: These plans don’t require a contract, so you can cancel anytime without paying an ETF. However, your energy rate will fluctuate depending on overall market demand.
- No-deposit plans: Many energy companies will require a credit check and an initial deposit if you don’t meet their threshold. If you prefer a simpler setup, try a no-deposit plan like the ones offered by Payless Power. These plans have you pay for your electricity upfront and top up your account as needed.
- Green energy plans: If you’re interested in lowering your household’s carbon footprint, consider a green energy plan, which sources part or all of your electricity from renewable resources. Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy are popular providers that focus on 100% green energy plans.
- Business energy plans: Business owners can also benefit from energy deregulation with commercial electricity plans. If you own a business in a deregulated city, you can compare energy companies such as Ambit Energy and TXU Energy to find the best business electricity plans in your area.
