If you\u2019re looking to save money, you\u2019ll want to know how we break down the plans and see which one comes out on top.<\/p>\n<p>A free nights plan is great for customers who can move their energy use to off-peak hours. This can help make it easier for you to find low rates in the ONCOR area. TXU and Stream both offer free nights electricity. However, when you compare the electricity rates of TXU\u2019s Free Nights &amp; Solar Days 12 versus <a rel='nofollow' href='https:\/\/mystream.com\/services\/energy\/free-nights-or-weekends'>Stream\u2019s Free Nights<\/a>, you find that TXU is the better option.<\/p>\n<h3>Who Offers Lower Electricity Rates?<\/h3>\n<p>Stream Free Nights\u2019 electricity rate is slightly higher than TXU\u2019s Free Nights &amp; Solar Days 12. Stream Free Nights has an energy charge of 16.8 per kWh while TXU offers a slightly cheaper electricity rate at 16.1 cents per kWh. This is because TXU offsets the high price of daytime solar with free nighttime wind power. Once you factor in those with the free nights, the average of both plans at 1,000 kWh comes to 14.5 cents per kWh. (These rates do not include TDU charges.)<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Stream Free Nights makes you pay extra for 100% sustainable energy. Stream\u2019s plan only uses 18.9% renewables and charges an additional $4.95 for you to offset your carbon footprint with 100% renewable generation.<\/p>\n<p>However, TXU\u2019s Free Nights &amp; Solar Days 12 is a 100% renewable energy plan for Dallas with no extra charge.<\/p>\n<h3>Are There Any Additional Fees?<\/h3>\n<p>Stream\u2019s plan has higher fees than TXU\u2019s. While both plans have the same base charge of $9.95 per month, Stream\u2019s plan has higher service fees. Paying over the phone or not signing up for auto pay will cost you $4.95 per payment. TXU, on the other hand, only charges $3.95 for phone payments. They also offer a range of easily accessible payment options without any additional charge to help their customers.<\/p>\n<p>Both plans also have early termination fees, so if you want cheap early termination fee electricity in Dallas, then you\u2019ll want to choose a different plan. However, TXU\u2019s plan only charges $150 for early termination while Stream\u2019s plan charges a much steeper $250.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the Best Plan Overall?<\/h3>\n<p>Take advantage of your <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/power-to-choose'>power to choose<\/a> with Free Nights &amp; Solar Days 12. TXU is a <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies'>reputable Texas energy company<\/a> offering cheaper rates with far fewer fees and better customer service. Plus, you\u2019ll offset your energy use with 100% renewables at no additional cost.<\/p>\n<h3>Compare Dallas Electricity Rates<\/h3>\n<p>With <a rel='nofollow' href='https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/business\/energy\/article\/How-Texas-power-grid-weathered-blazing-heat-13126682.php'>record-breaking energy use<\/a> in Texas, <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/dallas'>Comparing Dallas electric rates<\/a> can be a challenge.
