Types of plans in Round Rock
As you compare electric rates in Round Rock, you’ll notice that there are a lot of options — both in terms of providers and plan types. You can learn more in our guide to picking a plan, or you can call the phone number on this page to speak with one of our experts.
Fixed-rate plans
If you’re looking for long-term stability and predictable energy costs, consider a fixed-rate plan. It comes with a stable electricity rate that won’t change for the duration of your contract period (usually 12 to 36 months). But if you want to cancel or switch before then, you’ll generally be charged an ETF.
Variable-rate plans
Variable-rate plans are a better option if you prefer flexibility. These plans are contract-free, so you can cancel or switch your plan at any time without paying an ETF. However, with a variable-rate plan, your rate can change from month-to-month based on the wholesale price of energy, so your bill may be lower some months, and higher in others.
No-deposit plans
It’s common for light companies to require an initial deposit on your energy plan if your credit score doesn’t meet their threshold. If you don’t want to undergo a credit check or pay a deposit, consider signing up for a no-deposit plan. Prepaid plans, for instance, let you pay for energy upfront and top up your account as needed.
Green electricity
Texas produces the most wind-powered electricity in the country and comes in second for solar power. Thanks to this wealth of green energy, every electricity plan in the state includes at least some percentage of power from renewable sources. You can find each plan’s renewable content breakdown in its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
Some Texas electricity providers even specialize in 100% green plans. In Round Rock, these companies include Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — both of which you’ll find on SaveOnEnergy.
Business energy plans
Deregulation also extends to businesses. If you own or manage a company in Round Rock, you can partner with SaveOnEnergy to build a customized plan for your business. To get started, fill out our commercial energy form or call the phone number on your screen to speak with one of our energy experts.
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
- 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.
- Understanding 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.

Round Rock energy FAQs
SaveOnEnergy’s marketplace features green energy plans from multiple Round Rock electricity providers. To see what’s available, enter your ZIP code and filter for “green energy.”
Reducing your electricity consumption is one way to lower your Round Rock utility bill. There are many free or low-cost ways to cut your electricity usage, such as upgrading to LED light bulbs, sealing drafty doors and windows, and switching to cold water when doing laundry. It’s also possible to lower your energy costs by changing to a plan with a cheaper rate.
A kilowatt-hour, or kWh, is a measurement of electricity consumption. Energy providers use it to advertise their rates (in cents per kWh) and to express customers’ usage on their electricity bills.
As temperatures rise in the summer, energy consumers use more electricity to keep their homes and businesses comfortable. The same applies in the winter when temperatures dip to yearly lows. This increased demand can raise electricity prices. That’s why it’s usually cheaper to buy an electricity plan in spring and fall when energy demand (and rates) are lower.
