The 3 Main Types of Electricity Plans 

1. Variable Rate Plans 

A variable-rate plan allows the price you pay for electricity to vary from month to month depending on the current market. This plan typically doesn’t involve contracts or cancellation fees, which provides flexibility that other plans can lack. You have the potential to save money if the price of electricity goes down, but there is always a risk of prices jumping unexpectedly. If you’re looking for flexibility and no contracts, this plan may be for you. This plan is also great for customers in short-term or temporary living situations.

2. Fixed-Rate Plans 

A fixed-rate plan locks in your electricity rate for the duration of your contract. No matter what the price is in the market, the amount you pay will stay consistent. This plan is good for those that don’t want to worry about fluctuation in prices. The main downside is that you could potentially pay more than the market value if energy prices go down. However, fixed-rate plans protect consumers from spikes in energy prices, which can lead to surprise bills that are hundreds or even thousands of dollars higher than typical. 

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 our customers.

3. Indexed Rate or Wholesale Plans

An indexed price plan is similar to a variable rate plan because your electricity rate can fluctuate. Your bill is composed of the real-time market price for electricity plus a set amount that was agreed upon at the start of the contract. An example of an index plan is a “free nights and weekends” plan.” If you like to be heavily involved in your energy plan and stay on top of market trends, this plan may be a great option for you. However, sudden spikes in prices can leave you with bills high enough to cancel out any savings.

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.
