As you research new electricity plans, it’s essential to understand the difference between utility companies and electricity providers. Your local utility is responsible for delivering energy to your home, overseeing local power infrastructure, and responding to outages. However, utility companies are assigned based on where you live, so you can’t choose yours. In most cases, there’s only one utility per city, but Dickinson has two: Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) and CenterPoint Energy.

On the other hand, electricity providers are in charge of generating power and selling it to customers. In Texas, these companies are also called retail electric providers (REPs). You’re free to choose from a number of Dickinson electricity providers, including 4Change Energy, Frontier Utilities, and TXU Energy. Right now, the cheapest plan in Dickinson is sold by Express Energy at a rate of 5.6 cents per kWh (¢/kWh).

Types of electricity plans in Dickinson

When you shop for new electricity plans, you’ll notice a few different plan types available. Below, we’ve broken down the most common types of plans you’ll see on the Choose Energy marketplace.

• Fixed-rate plans: When you choose a fixed-rate plan, you agree to pay a set rate for your electricity through the duration of your contract (typically a year or more). You might prefer one of these plans if you’re looking for a guaranteed monthly electricity rate. However, you should also be okay with signing a 12-month (or longer) contract with your REP.
• Variable-rate plans: In contrast, variable-rate plans are effectively month-to-month agreements with your provider. While these short-term plans provide more flexibility, they don’t allow you to lock in a set electricity rate — so you could end up paying a sky-high monthly rate when energy demand spikes and wholesale costs increase.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans: If you don’t have a high credit score, you might be required to pay a deposit on your energy plan. At Choose Energy, we realize that this isn’t feasible for some customers — which is why we always have no-deposit plans available, including the popular prepaid electricity plans.

As the second-most populated state in the U.S., there’s a huge demand for energy in Texas — especially during the hot summer months.

All of this green energy is being put to good use since every plan sold in Texas includes at least a portion of renewable energy. Separately, Dickinson electricity providers like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy even offer 100% green plans.
