    The best Corpus Christi electricity plans to help you save this January

    We're right in the middle of the Winter season here in Texas, and that means we're also smack dab in the middle of shopping season. The best time to lock in a rate is December through March, particularly to shop for a 12 month plan that gets you a good rate through the inevitablly scorching summer in Texas.

    Our energy analyst team recommends these plans right now
    • The cheapest electricity rate is the AGP&G's Simple Saver Credit Smart 6, at 9.2 cents per kWh, for 6 months. If you want the cheapest rate bar none, with no other considerations, this is the plan for you. This rate does include a Bill Credit, keep that in mind.
    • For those long term stability, we have the Companion Energy's Savings + Benefits 24 at 9.8 cents per kWh, for 2 years. Again, the plan has a bill credit so read your EFL and understand your usage
    • For customers who want a steady rate, summer or winter regardless of usage, the Octo Simple 18, from Octopus Energy, is the way to go. Its a flat plan with pretty much the same rates across all usage tiers, and at 13.7 cents per kWh is the set it and forget it option that many Texans are looking for when it comes to electricity.It will come off contract around the summetime, though, so be cautious there.

    Types of Energy Plans in Corpus Christi

    There are basically three types of Electricity Plans available for residential customers. Houston electricity companies offer a wide range of options and terms. For the most part they are in three categories: fixed-rate and variable rate and pre-paid.

    Fixed-Rate Electricity Plans in Corpus Christi

    Fixed-rate plans will have a set price for the term of the contract. Regardless of weather, natural events, or market volatility, your rate will not change. Fixed-rate plans have a term length of 6, 12, 24, or 36 months. We recommend fixed-rate plans for most customers.

    Variable-Rate Electricity Plans in Corpus Christi

    Variable-rate plan rates may change on a monthly basis based on market factors. Variable-rate plans offer more flexibility but present more volatility in pricing. Price changes may impact your monthly electricity bill in the form of price hikes. In most cases, we do not recommend variable-rate plans.

    Pre-Paid Electricity Plans in Corpus Christi

    When you sign up for pre-paid electricity, no social security number and no credit check are required.

    Signing up takes a few minutes and requires a small upfront payment to establish your account balance. Prepaid providers will text you to add more money as you balance changes. Or you can use your prepaid provider's app to monitor your usage and manage your budget online.

    Electricity Plan Types in Corpus Christi

    Now that we have explained TDSP rates, the second thing to consider is the type of electricity plans a customer can buy. Each plan will likely end up having different rate scales. There are three types of electricity plans you can choose from when selecting an energy plan that best fits your needs.

    Fixed Rate Electricity Plan in Corpus Christi

    Lock in low energy rates for a period of months ranging from 9 to 36. Be aware that these contracts typically charge an early termination fee if you switch before your term ends.

    Variable Rate Electricity Plan in Corpus Christi

    Month to month contracts with rates that vary. You won't have to worry about deposits or early termination fees, but rates can decrease or increase from month to month.

    Pre-Paid Electricity Plan in Corpus Christi

    You deposit money into an account that your energy company bills directly depending on your use. Keep in mind there are often daily charges with these plans. Rates typically change from month to month.

    There are other kinds of plans, such as green plans, or plans that come bundled with things like Smart Thermostats, but for the most part, these three plans are the main three kinds of choices available.

    Over 30% of the energy produced in Texas is from renewable energy resources such as solar, and wind. In fact, Texas produces more green energy than any other state. And is one of the reasons that Texas has some of the lowest electricity rates in the US.

    Every Texas energy provider has about 20% green energy in their mix of energy sources. You can see this in the Fuel Mix section of any Texas Electricity Plan EFL (Electricity Facts Label).

    Most Texas electricity companies have a 100% green / renewable energy plan, where 100% of the energy you buy supports renewable energy generators. Some Corpus Christi electricity companies are exclusively green, where every plan is 100% green and prices and rates support 100% green energy and renewable generation.

    The 3 types of renewable energy plans to select from:

    Green energy term plans:
    These are similar to traditional 3 to 12 month term plans with 100% green energy.
    EV Charging Plans:
    Plans targeted at EV owners that are "Time of Use" where you pay low rates at night (between 11PM and 5AM) and a higher rate during the day.
    Solar Buy Back Plans:
    Plans that allow homeowners who own their solar panels to sell excess power back to their provider or offset their electricity bill with excess power generated by their solar panels and may earn bill credits of up to .25 cents per kWh exported back to the grid.
