Sugar Land utility companies and energy providers

Types of electricity plans in Sugar Land
While you shop around for energy plans, you’ll notice that there are different kinds of plans to choose from. Here’s a quick look at the most popular plans that you’ll find on Choose Energy.
- Fixed-rate plans. With a fixed-rate plan, you’ll enter into a contract with your provider (generally 12 months or longer). During this period, your rate won’t change, which is great if you want to ensure more stable energy costs. However, you’ll probably need to pay a fee if you cancel early.
- Variable-rate plans. Unlike fixed-rate plans, variable-rate plans don’t come with a long-term contract. Instead, your rate will change based on market prices, so your electricity bill could fluctuate between billing periods.
- Prepaid & no-deposit plans. If you don’t think you’ll pass the credit check required by many energy providers, you might consider a no-deposit electricity plan. These plans allow you to begin service without putting down a deposit. Prepaid plans are one popular type of no-deposit plan, letting you pay for your electricity usage before you use it (rather than after).
