You can save money with no-contract electricity in Houston. Compare these rates and shop for the plan that’s right for you! <\/center><\/p><\/div>\n

Do Houston electricity companies offer no-contract plans?<\/h2>\n

Customers purchasing through Griddy got stung by shockingly high electricity bills this summer. That’s because these customers plans were based on high wholesale electricity prices<\/a>. Power bought and used in the middle of a sunny August day in cost much more than most Texas customers wanted to pay.<\/p>\n

While Griddy\u2019s situation caused a unique uproar, similar surprises can happen to no-contract plans as well. That’s because rates can change from day to day with the wholesale market. Of course, month-to-month electricity can be beneficial for some customers with short term needs. \u00a0True, you do pay more with these plans, but that\u2019s the trade-off for not committing to a fixed rate electricity plan. Consequently, if you become dissatisfied with the company for any reason, a no-contract Houston electricity plan<\/a>\u00a0lets\u00a0you terminate your service immediately and go with a different provider.<\/p>\n

Luckily, some of the best priced no-contract plans in Houston are available at Texas Electricity Ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Best Houston no-contract electricity for low usage customers<\/h3>\n

The Free Weekends<\/a> plan from Hello Energy<\/a> is an anomaly among most plans. That’s because it offers \u00a0a flat rate no matter your usage. Usually, low usage customers pay a higher average price than moderate and high usage customers. That isn\u2019t the case with this plan. That’s because the average price of 13.2 cents per kWh is calculated based on an 18.5-cent price with the assumption a customer consumes 29% of all home energy on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Usage<\/td>\n500 kWh<\/td>\n1,000 kWh<\/td>\n2,000 kWh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Average Price Per kWh<\/td>\n13.2 cents<\/td>\n13.2 cents<\/td>\n13.2 cents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Customers in \u00a0this prepaid electricity plan<\/a>\u00a0must fund their account balances with $75 at the outset. While this up-front payment may\u00a0probably feel like a deposit, it is not. That’s because you start using that money on day one of your service.<\/p>\n

TXU Energy<\/a> wins on price for moderate usage Houston homes<\/h3>\n

Customers who live in average to large sized homes and use average amounts of electricity will likely do well with the Flex Forward plan from TXU Energy. That’s because the plan comes with a $9.95 monthly base fee, so the average price per kilowatt-hour goes down as usage goes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Usage<\/td>\n500 kWh<\/td>\n1,000 kWh<\/td>\n2,000 kWh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Average Price Per kWh<\/td>\n14.2 cents<\/td>\n12.7 cents<\/td>\n11.9 cents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Green energy for high usage customers<\/h3>\n

The 100% Clean Energy<\/a> plan from Pogo Energy<\/a> gives Houston customers completely renewable energy without a contract. While a clear advantage to eco-conscious customers, the one drawback is that this plan includes a $0.50 daily base charge. As a result, the base charge can add up to $15 per month in a typical month. Plus, there’s also the CenterPoint TDU<\/a>\u00a0delivery charges. However, high usage customers get the best no-contract price available through this plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Usage<\/td>\n500 kWh<\/td>\n1,000 kWh<\/td>\n2,000 kWh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Average Price Per kWh<\/td>\n14.9 cents<\/td>\n12.8 cents<\/td>\n11.8 cents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
