Sign up now to save money on the cheapest flat 12 month plans in Houston.<\/center><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Plans Have Houston\u2019s Cheapest Flat 12 Month Rates?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy something, you want to understand what you\u2019re paying and what you\u2019re getting. With some electricity plans, it\u2019s hard to know whether your bill will be reasonable or astronomical. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill credits<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, tiered rates, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free nights, and free weekends<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plans entice you with the chance of big savings. However, they don\u2019t always deliver on your expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston\u2019s cheapest flat 12 month electricity rates may not deliver super low bills, but you won\u2019t be surprised with a budget busting electricity statement. The cheapest flat pricing plans give you reasonable prices without the risk of paying way too much for power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cold weather is just around the corner. The US Energy Information Administration predicts <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">household electricity usage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will increase by 7% this winter. Lock in your fixed rate contract now before prices climb during the coldest months of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewable Energy At A Low Price<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span>Solarize 12<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan from <\/span><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/chariot-energy'>Chariot Energy<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has the lowest price among 12 month flat rate plans. At 1,000 kwh of usage, the average price for electricity is 11.0 cents per kWh. The average price varies a little across usages because Houston\u2019s electricity utility <\/span>CenterPoint Energy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> assesses both a base charge and a per kWh charge. All <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston electricity customers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are charged <\/span>CenterPoint Energy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fees regardless of their retail providers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plan uses 100% <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">renewable energy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can feel good about saving money and preserving the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More Green Power From Chariot Energy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chariot Energy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers another 100% green energy plan at a 12 month flat rate: <\/span>Rise 12<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This plan offers the same pricing structure as the plan above. The only difference is the retail price is 0.01 cents higher on this plan. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utility charges<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, renewable content, and early termination fees are all the same between both <\/span>Chariot Energy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Tie For Houston\u2019s Cheapest 12 Month Power<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span>Champ Saver-12<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan from <\/span><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/champion-energy'>Champion Energy<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rounds out the cheapest flat 12 month plans. Like the other plans described here, this plan has no base charge, and the retailer only charges a per kWh price. At 1,000 kWh, the average price for this plan ties for the lowest price. The big differences with this plan are renewable content and early termination fee. The plan\u2019s renewable content is only 16.4% versus 100% for the others. It\u2019s early termination fee is $150 as opposed to the $15 per month remaining on the contract with <\/span>Chariot Energy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Predictable Bill For Reliable Service<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you sign up for the cheapest flat 12 month electricity rates at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you get reliable service and a predictable bill.
