Tyler utility companies & energy providers
There is a difference between energy providers and utility companies in a deregulated energy market such as Texas. Your local utility company will continue to handle the transmission and distribution of electricity. You cannot choose your utility company because it is based on your location.

Tyler residents can choose their own energy providers, thanks to deregulation. Your energy provider is the company that generates the electricity to power your home.

Types of electricity plans in Tyler
When you’re shopping around for a Tyler electricity provider, you’ll have several different types of plans to choose from:
Fixed-rate plans
When you sign up for a fixed-rate energy plan, you enter a contract for either 12, 24, or 36 months. During your contract, your energy rate is locked in and won’t fluctuate with the energy market. The good news is that you aren’t vulnerable to price hikes. However, you might pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early.
Variable-rate plans
With a variable-rate plan, you don’t have a locked-in rate. Instead, your electricity rate each month is based on the current energy market. During some months, your electricity bill may spike. During other months, you’ll save money. There is also no contract so that you can switch providers at any time.
Prepaid and no-deposit plans
Many energy plans require you to pay a deposit when you sign up, depending on your credit score. Some providers offer no-deposit energy plans, which allow you to skip the credit check and the deposit. A prepaid energy plan is a type of no-deposit plan where you pay for your electricity upfront.
