We compare two of the best head to head. The results are surprising!<\/center><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Is Fixed Rate Electricity the Cheapest?<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to choosing the <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/dallas'>cheapest electricity in Dallas<\/a>, you have a lot of options. Flat rate plans tend to offer cheap rates. But how do they stack up against the cheap, straightforward rates found in fixed rate plans? Do fixed rate electric plans save you more? We compare the cheapest fixed rate plan against the cheapest flat rate plan below.<\/p>\n<p>The answer may surprise you&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Who Has the Cheapest Fixed Rate Electric Plan in Dallas?<\/h3>\n<p>Texas Fixed 12 from\u00a0Pulse Power\u00a0is a <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/texas-electricity'>fixed rate electricity plan<\/a>\u00a0that has a low energy charge of 12.5 cents per kWh. There&#8217;s a base charge of $4.95 per billing cycle as well. That brings the average rate for 1000 kWh of use to 12.7 cents per kWh.<\/p>\n<p>On this plan, the cheapest predicted monthly bill would be $110 in April. In other words, that&#8217;s an average rate of 12.8 cents per 857 kWh. However, if we assume an average rate of 12.5 cents per kWh for 1,812 kWh of use, then the worst month would be in August. \u00a0In this case, this month comes with a predicted bill of $226.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the Cheapest Flat Rate Electric Plan in Dallas?<\/h3>\n<p>Easy Saver 12 from 4Change Energy\u00a0is a <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/texas-electricity'>flat-rate electricity plan<\/a> with a low energy charge of $90 for the first 1000 kWh of use. After 1000 kWh, the rate increases to 16.5 cents per kWh. In short, the average rate for 1000 kWh is only 9 cents per kWh.<\/p>\n<p>On this plan, the cheapest predicted monthly bill would be $90 in April (an average rate of 10.5 cents per 857 kWh). On the other hand, the worst month would be in August with a predicted bill of $224 (an average rate of 12.4 cents per kWh for 1,812 kWh of use).<\/p>\n<h3>Which Fixed Rate Electric Plans Are the Cheapest?<\/h3>\n<p>Easy Saver 12 is the clear winner. In April, you could save $20 on your electric bill compared to Texas Fixed 12. In August, it&#8217;s close. Still,\u00a0Easy Saver 12\u00a0looks to be $2 cheaper. However, when you compare your\u00a0estimated monthly bill over the year, you pay\u00a0$109 for Easy Saver 12\u00a0 vs. $127 for\u00a0Texas Fixed 12. So,\u00a0Easy Saver 12\u00a0saves you more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens When Your Electricity Contract Ends?<\/h3>\n<p>If you do not choose a new electricity provider or extend your contract, these electricity providers will move you to their\u00a0<a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/blog\/sneaky-electric-plan-terms-avoid\/'>default renewal product<\/a>.
