May 2025 Blue Ridge Market Update
The best Blue Ridge electricity plans to help you save this May
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 10.6 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 10.8 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 2500 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 14.5 cents per kWh is the set it and forget it option that many Texans are looking for when it comes to electricity.

Home size matters and relates to the average usage. Electricity rates are based on volume and are based on 500kWh, 1000kWh and 2000kWh use per month. In other words a small house or apartment customer will generally pay a higher rate than a high usage / large house customer.
