Inspire Energy electricity plans
Inspire Energy offers the following options to electricity customers:
Unlimited 100% Clean Energy Subscription
You can opt for Inspire Energy’s flat rate which ensures you pay the same price for energy each month. This plan also offers unlimited usage — your bill for Inspire’s services will be the same no matter how much you use. Note that your utility charges can still fluctuate.
Pay-Per-Use Plan
Instead of the unlimited subscription model, you can choose a more traditional pay-per-use plan where you pay the same fixed rate per kilowatt-hour for your entire contract. With this plan, your bill for Inspire services can fluctuate based on how much energy you use. Your energy usage will still be offset with 100% clean energy generation.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup
- Read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
- Price per kilowatt-hour based on your energy usage
- The plan’s percentage of renewable energy sourcing
- Early termination fees
- Enjoy hassle-free supplier 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 appear as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
