Perhaps you think you can snag a <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/resources\/historical-rates'>better electricity rate<\/a>. Then it\u2019s time to exercise your right as a consumer to investigate whether you can find a more favorable electricity arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never a bad time to shop Texas electricity plans, but right now is an especially good time to lock in a one year plan. The <a rel='nofollow' href='https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/texas-power-summer\/texas-power-grid-expects-record-demand-this-summer-alerts-more-likely-idUSL1N20S0PR'>electricity price increases<\/a> that come right before summer haven\u2019t arrived yet. If you want to give a new company a shot without committing for too long, pick a one year plan today. If you want to switch again in a year, you\u2019ll likely be in the best time of year to shop again.<\/p>\n<h3>Lock in a tiered Houston electricity rate.<\/h3>\n<p>The 12 Month Flat Tier Plan from Constellation is a tiered pricing plan that has the best Houston electricity rate right now for homes that use 1,000 kWh in a billing cycle. Tiered pricing is uncommon among <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/houston'>Houston electricity plans<\/a>, but it isn\u2019t unprecedented. Under such an <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-efl'>electricity pricing structure<\/a>, the retail provider charges set amounts for different ranges of electricity usage. Let\u2019s looks at tiers for the 12 Month Flat Tier Plan:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Usage<\/td>\n<td>Charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>At least 1 kWh<\/td>\n<td>$89 per billing cycle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>At least 501 kWh<\/td>\n<td>Additional $0 per billing cycle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>At least 1,001 kWh<\/td>\n<td>Additional $89 per billing cycle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>At least 1,501 kWh<\/td>\n<td>Additional $0 per billing cycle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>More than 2,000 kWh<\/td>\n<td>additional 11.90\u00a2per kWh in excess of 2000 kWh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If your typical usage is between 501 and 1,000 kWh or between 1,501 and 2,000 kWh, this plan is a great deal. A large chunk of your usage doesn\u2019t cost you extra per month. This plan is also beneficial for high usage customers. The 11.9 cents per kWh for the final tier is costlier than a good number of Houston electricity plans, but works out to a reasonable average rate when you consider that the higher rate doesn&#8217;t kick-in before reaching 2,000 kWh.<\/p>\n<h3>More Texas electricity plans to suit your needs!<\/h3>\n<p>If a tiered plan doesn\u2019t seem to suit your Houston home, plenty of other plans are available for you to explore. The Gexa Saver 12 plan from Gexa Energy and the Smart Value 12 Online plan from Cirro Energy have very competitive rates this month. Both plans give you a 12 month price lock. Both also offer bill credits when you reach certain usages in a billing cycle.<\/p>\n<h3>Get your 12 month price today!<\/h3>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to wait to <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/houston'>switch Texas electricity providers<\/a>. You can do it right now at <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com'>https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com<\/a>.
