The Most Common Plan Types for Electricity in Katy

Everyone is looking for ways to save more money, so it’s important to understand the types of available energy plans and how they can impact your electricity rates and monthly energy bill. With hundreds of energy providers serving Katy and thousands of available plans, knowing the risks and benefits of each type of plan can empower you to make the right choice for your needs and lifestyle. 

1. Variable Rate Plans

The variable rate plan is flexible, which is ideal for short contracts or temporary living. The price of electricity can vary from month to month at the discretion of the energy supplier and is affected by the market cost of energy. Variable rate plans typically renew on a monthly basis without a long-term contract and have no cancellation fees.

2. Fixed-Rate Plans

The fixed-rate plan is a locked-in, unchanging energy price for the term of your contract. If you choose a 12-month offer, you will not have to worry about your energy rate for the next 12 months. Your bill may be higher or lower based on your usage, but the amount you pay per kilowatt-hour is fixed. 

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 Katy community.

3. Indexed Rate or Wholesale Plans 

The index price plan is broken into two parts: a real-time market price for electricity, and a set amount added to each bill that is locked in and agreed upon at the start of the contract. While the added set amount is fixed, the price of electricity is based upon the actual market price and can save you money if the market price is low. However, this type of plan can leave you open to sharp market increases, which can make your bill go up.

Many Texas electricity customers enrolled in wholesale plans found themselves with hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars in energy bills following the February 2021 winter storm, when rates spiked and demand increased. A fixed-rate plan protects against these unforeseen and potentially devastating events.
