Savvy Texas electricity shoppers know the scorchers in summer and the icy days of winter aren\u2019t the best times of year to lock in fixed electricity rates<\/a>. So what do you do if your retail electricity plan is set to expire on a day when your windshield is iced over in the morning?

You may pay a higher electricity bill now but you get the opportunity to lock in savings when prices dip in the spring.

Usually, prepaid plans have significantly higher prices than long-term fixed rate electricity plans. However, this month is an exception. The rates for the best prepaid plans in Houston are exceptionally competitive. Bear in mind though that rates can change quickly.

The race for the cheapest prepaid plan in Houston is a tie between the Power Up 1 plan from Peso Power<\/a> and the Green Choice 1 plan from Ampra Energy<\/a>. The average rate is 12.5 cents per kWh at 1,000 kWh of usage in a month. The biggest difference between the two plans is the Ampra Energy plan uses 100% renewable energy. The Peso Power plan only has 6% renewable content.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Another solid option from prepaid plans in Houston is the Free Nights plan from Acacia Energy<\/a>. Customers pay no retail charges for power consumed between 9:30 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. If that\u2019s when you consume a good bit of your power, this plan may be right for you.

This plan\u2019s advertised rate is 13.1 cents per kWh and is based on using free power 39% of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
