The best Barksdale electricity plans to help you save this July
Summer heat in Texas is as certain as death and taxes, and the best time to lock in a rate is February through April. The second best time to lock in a rate is today, particularly before we hit the summer heat peaks of July and August.
Our energy analyst team recommends these plans right now- The cheapest electricity rate is the Chariot Energy GridEdge 36, at 9.8 cents per kWh, for 3 years. That comes with long term bill security and is great for shoppers who dont want to hit the market for a new plan every year. That can kill two birds with one stone for many Texas shoppers.
- For those looking for a shorter 12 month plan, we have the Frontier Saver Plus 12 at 9.9 cents per kWh, for 1 year. Its the lowest 12 month plan on our website currently, and has a sweet bill credit for customers who dont use too much, or too little, electricity. Great for medium sized home owners.
- For those customers who use over 2,500 kWh of electricity in the summer, but not much in the winter, and who dont want any bill surprises, the Think Clean 12, from Think Energy, is the way to go. Its a flat plan with pretty much the same rates across all usage tiers, this is the plan at 14.4 cents per kWh is the set it and forget it option that many Texans are looking for when it comes to electricity.

Barksdale Energy Plans
There are over 200 plans across 40+ providers currently available in the Barksdale Market. They range from 1 month variable rate plans to 60 months in duration. The easiest way to break all this down is into three categories.
Fixed Rate Plans
Fixed rate plans have terms ranging from 3 to 36 months, and provide a "fixed" rate for your electricity usage.
Variable rate or Month to Month plans
Variable rate plans change on a monthly basis. They are good for those who need short term flexibility,, and cannot commit to a long term contract. Variable rate plans change monthly and may double or triple if there is a weather event. (And we've had a few in the last 5 years). We do not recommend these plans.
Pre-paid Plans
For those who have not built credit, or want to avoid paying a deposit, there are pre-paid plans. Prepaid plans require that you establish an account and fund a balance. Usually $25-$50. Once the account is funded, your electricity is turned on and every day your balance is reduced by the cost of electricity used that day. The provider will contact you via text, app and automated calls to add money to your account as the balance changes.
