What’s the Best Energy Plan for Your Lifestyle?
Every electricity plan is different, and some work better for different kinds of lifestyles. We have residential, commercial, and small business plans that you can choose from. There are many types of electricity plans you'll need to know about. Follow along with APG&E to learn about the three most common ones.
1. Variable Rate Plans
A variable electricity plan means the rate can vary from month to month or could stay the same for a few months at a time. This is a good option if you’re leasing for a short period or don’t want to sign up for a long contract.
2. Fixed-Rate Plans
Very straightforward, a fixed electricity plan means the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour will be the same throughout the contract. Your usage will determine the energy bill.
APG&E primarily offers fixed price plans. Their simplicity prevents billing surprises when energy prices rise, which is why we recommend these plans to our own family and friends. We work hard to provide competitive fixed rates and excellent customer service to the Grand Prairie community. Enroll or make the switch today.
3. Indexed Rate or Wholesale Plans
The index electricity plan is the most complex, but here’s the breakdown. The rate is made of two parts that include the adder, which is pre-determined and constant when you sign the contract, and the real-time market price. The adder from the contract plus the real-time market price of electricity during the time of use will be the rate on your bill. Money can be saved with this plan, but there is a risk of spiked prices. For information on ways to save money on your monthly energy bill, check out our blog.
Many Texas electricity customers found themselves with hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars in energy bills following the February 2021 winter storm. These customers were enrolled in index or wholesale plans, which suddenly and dramatically hiked up their rates during the storm due to high demand and low supply. A fixed-rate plan protects against these unforeseen and potentially devastating events.

Where You Live Matters, Here's Why...
Another thing you need to think about when choosing an electricity plan is where you live. You can choose your electricity provider, but the TDSP company that works on the wires and poles in your area is pre-determined on where you live. You get billed by the electricity provider after they receive the information on how much upkeep TDSP had to do. Depending on the TDSP company, this can affect your bill, which is why many electricity providers ask for your zip code to compare prices. APG&E can provide rates for the Grand Prairie area with our electricity shopping site. Know your options before committing.

Reasons Your Electric Bill Is High!
With the change in heat, electricity costs, and monthly bills in the state of Texas are known to be high. But they certainly do not have to be. You can reduce your monthly bill by turning off the AC anytime you aren’t home, turning off any lights and ceiling fans. Power strips are also a great way to prevent ‘vampire’ appliances from creating high energy bills. It’s the smaller things that play a major role and can save you a lot along the way.

Things to do if you want to switch power companies:
1. Revisit an existing contract
If you're already with another provider, the first step is to determine how long you have left on the contract and if there are any cancellation policies. You can find all of this by looking at your bill or by contacting your provider.
2. Compare energy plans, rates, and companies
Research and shop around for the best electricity plans and companies. Below are some of the rates in the Grand Prairie area that APG&E has to offer.
3. Making the switch
Once you find the best plan that works for your lifestyle, it’s time to make the switch, which can usually be done directly on the website. Your new provider will not need to come to your house to set anything up.
