Spark Energy Plans in Texas
Spark Energy plans offer competitive electricity rates in Texas, but a number of Spark Energy plans are not straight-forward and include gimmicks that can cause bill surprises. Take your time and do your research before enrolling in Spark Energy plans.
Fixed Rate Plans
Spark Energy plans include fixed-rate electricity that lock in your rate for up to three years, including partial year plans, and plans with 12, 24 and 36-month term lengths.
If you are interested in plans from light companies in Texas offering free electricity, such as so-called free nights and weekends plans, be certain to review the EFL for these plans and note the rates for the non-free hours, which are often high. For no deposit electricity, energy providers will generally not require a deposit if you meet their credit requirements. You can also check electric companies that offer pay as you go “prepaid” plans that do not require deposits.
Be Cautious of Plans with High Base Charges
Spark electricity plans in Texas include some straight-forward rates that produce relatively predictable energy bills, but the company also has energy plans that have the potential to produce severe billing surprises. These plans have large base fees regardless of the amount of energy you consume.
If your home consistently uses large amounts of energy each month, these plans may result in competitive pricing, but if you have a small home, apartment, or condo, your relatively low usage may result in an average rate of up to 30+ cents per kWh.
