Recent Good Review from Laura, Texas

Overall Rating

Control your monthly bill!

I find GME a pleasure to do business with. My rates are reasonable.

*** I love that I get a weekly summary of my usage, it gives me a heads up on what my bill will be, and I always take the opportunity to adjust the amount of energy I consume. I always try to beat the prior weeks consumption.

#NEVER ANY SURPRISES!!!

Find Great Variable Rate Electricity in Dallas

Posted on March 11, 2021

When you're looking to find variable rate electricity plans, be careful. Let us show you which ones are great for the short term vs immediate convenience.

Cheapest Alternatives to Fixed Rate Electricity in Texas

Why would anyone want a variable rate after the Big Freeze in Texas? Well, sometimes it’s better to switch to a variable rate plan in the months between winter and summer. This gives you the power to choose cheaper electricity rates before they start to rise for the summer. Follow our guide to find great variable rate electricity in Dallas.

How to Get the Lowest Electric Rates with Monthly Plans

There are currently 4 variable-rate plans you can choose from in the Oncor service area. The one that works best for you depends on your needs. Just keep in mind that while none of these plans have early termination fees, the rates do change from month-to-month. That means, if you want the cheapest electric rates in Dallas, you’ll want to shop and compare electricity plans each month.

Month-to-Month Electric Plans in Dallas

SmartTricity Easy Choice from Payless Power has an energy charge of 13.7 cents per kWh. There is also a $2.67 daily charge that includes the first 17 kWh of energy use. With the standard TDU charges added in, the rate on this plan comes to 15.1 cents per kWh. While that's pretty steep for electricity in Dallas, even for the short term, this plan is just the thing for someone needing to find cheap variable rate electricity right away.

Cheap "Free" Electricity Plans in Dallas

Free Weekends Electricity from Hello Energy has an energy rate of 18.7 cents per kWh during the weekly paid periods. However, once you reach the weekends, you won’t have an energy charge. The free weekend time period on this plan starts at 12:00 AM Saturday morning and rolls through until 11:59 PM Sunday Night. You'll need to pay an initial connection balance of $75. Then, once you add in the standard TDU charges, your average rate for 1000 kWh of energy use is 13.4 cents per kWh. Keep in mind, that average is based on 29% of your weekly energy use occurring during that free period over 12 months. TIP -- If you avoid using AC and heat and confine your laundry to the weekends, this plan can help save money while you shop for a low fixed rate plan for summer!

Best Cheap Green Variable Rate Electric

Top 5 No Deposit Electricity Companies in Houston

Posted on August 24, 2020

Shop the best no deposit electricity companies in Houston, TX. Save money with low rates and ZERO contract commitment.

Which Good Electricity Companies Have No Deposit Plans?

Paying deposits can be a real drag. Deposits tie up your money so you don’t have access to it. Variable rate electricity plans don’t require deposits and can be a great choice for some Houston electricity customers. Not only do you avoid paying a deposit, but you also don’t lock yourself into a long term contract. The problem is avoiding companies that gouge you with high prices and fees. Luckily, several high quality companies offer no deposit electricity plans on Texas Electricity Ratings.

Trusted Companies For Variable Rate Electricity

When you shop for no deposit electricity, you want to choose a company you can trust. Even though your local transmission and distribution utility (TDU) is responsible for keeping your power flowing, your retailer’s reputation matters. Customer reviews tell you about the variety of products, quality of customer service, participation in the community, and other practices that might affect how much you might pay. If you compare the scores on Texas Electricity Ratings, you'll see how well no deposit electricity companies rank with their variable rate plans:

Retail Electricity Provider	TER Rating	Plan	Today’s Average Price at 1,000 kWh
TXU Energy	4.5 stars	TXU Energy Flex Forward	12.6 cents
Reliant Energy	4.0 stars	Clear Flex	11.7 cents
Green Mountain Energy	3.0 stars	Pollution Free e-Plus Preferred Month-to-Month	15.1 cents
4Change Energy	2.5 stars	Generous Monthly Saver	12.2 cents

While no-deposit variable rate plans are convenient, they change their prices each month because they follow the wholesale electricity market. When you’re on a variable rate plan, it is important to watch how prices change. If you find another company’s plan has become cheaper than your current rate, you may decide it is time to lock in a fixed rate electricity plan.

PrePaid Electricity From a Reputable Company

PrePaid electricity plans are another variable rate option to consider. These plans are very similar to month-to-month plans. The key distinction is you pay for electricity before you consume it. Therefore, you buy electricity at the current price and use it when you want. The SmarTricity Easy Choice plan from Payless Power currently sells electricity at an average price of 15.1 cents per kWh when you use 1,000 kWh in a billing cycle. The plan has a daily charge of $2.67 and an energy charge of 13.7 cents per kWh in excess of 17 kWh consumed in a day. Payless Power has a 4.0-star rating on Texas Electricity Ratings.

Save Money On Your Light Bill

Variable rate plans let you switch when you want to without paying an early termination fee. Though you could try to save money on electricity each month by switching alone, it's almost impossible to avoid the wholesale price rollercoaster.If you’re on a fixed rate plan, your retail provider notifies you when your contract is about to expire. At that point, you can shop for Texas electricity to find the best rate to suit your household’s usage needs. If you switch before your contract ends, you may incur an early termination fee. However, the right Houston electricity price can make paying the fee a good decision.

Switching Houston Electricity Plans Is Easy

Switching Texas electricity companies is super easy at https://www.texaselectricityratings.com. You can compare customer reviews, compare rates, and learn tips on how to save money on your Houston electricity. All the information you need is presented clearly, so you can make a smart decision on your home’s power provider.
