EFL average prices in cents/kWh, including delivery charges. Ranges reflect different delivery (TDSP) territories. Where a Southern Federal Power plan is listed without pricing, our review of its pricing formula isn't complete and we don't estimate it. Confirm current rates and terms with the provider before enrolling.
Average prices hide plan-structure differences — a bill-credit plan and a flat-rate plan can share a 1,000 kWh price and behave very differently at your usage. The compare tool estimates every plan at your actual monthly kWh.

Early Termination Fees
We haven't verified the cancellation fees for Southern Federal Power's listed plans, so this summary doesn't quote an amount. Some fees are flat; others are charged per month remaining on the contract, which changes the math substantially. The exact amount and structure are stated in each plan's EFL and Terms of Service — confirm there before enrolling. Moving to a new address generally lets you exit a Texas contract without a fee when you provide proof of the move.
Plan Structures Southern Federal Power Offers
In today's listings: 8 Southern Federal Power plans are publicly listed in our data right now, including 1 variable-rate plan.
Southern Federal's plans have mostly been single-rate fixed plans sold under a handful of names: Better Rate, Better Rate Plus, Try Us Out, Easy Out Fixed and Digital Saver Plus, with the term written into the name (Better Rate - 36, Easy Out Fixed - 8). Variable Advantage, a month-to-month variable plan, has been listed alongside them. No version TrueBill has tracked carried a bill credit or a minimum-usage fee. Where we recorded a base charge, Better Rate and Easy Out Fixed versions showed $4.95 per billing cycle and Digital Saver Plus and Free Energy Lunch showed none, so EFL averages have moved 2 cents or less between 500 and 2,000 kWh. Use the live table to see which plans are listed now, then read that version's EFL.
Contract Options
In today's listings: Contract lengths listed right now: month-to-month, 3, 7, 8, 12, 15, and 36 months.
Southern Federal has listed a wide spread of fixed terms: 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 36, 48 and 60 months have all appeared since TrueBill's tracking began in February 2026. Most lengths have rotated in and out within weeks or months; Better Rate - 36 and the month-to-month Variable Advantage plan have appeared from February through October 2026. Cancellation fees have followed the plan line rather than the term: Better Rate plans listed $249 whether the term was 5 months or 36, while Easy Out Fixed, Digital Saver Plus and Free Energy Lunch listed $99.
Does Southern Federal Power Use Bill Credits?
In today's listings: No bill-credit plans appear in Southern Federal Power's listings right now.
Bill credits have not been part of Southern Federal's listed plans. None of the versions TrueBill has tracked since February 2026 carried a usage-based credit or a minimum-usage fee, so there has been no monthly threshold to clear. Where a plan costs more per kWh at low usage, the cause is the base charge and the utility's fixed delivery charge, visible in the gap between the 500 and 1,000 kWh averages. Southern Federal's website has advertised a one-time $25 bill credit on the first statement for renewing customers, a promotion rather than part of the EFL price.
How bill credits work, with a worked example from today's plans
Free Nights & Time-of-Use
In today's listings: No free-period or time-of-use plans appear in Southern Federal Power's listings right now.
Southern Federal's one time-based plan in the listings TrueBill has tracked was SoFed Free Energy Lunch - 12, seen from May to early August 2026: a 12-month fixed plan with a $0 energy charge from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. every day, a fixed energy rate for all other hours and no base charge. The free hour covered the energy charge only; the EFL's price formula still applied delivery charges to every kWh. No free-nights plan has appeared. Southern Federal's website also markets PeakWise time-of-use products with lower rates in off-peak periods; none has appeared in the state feed we track.
Renewable Positioning
Renewable energy has not been a selling point of Southern Federal's listed plans: every version in the state feed TrueBill tracks has disclosed 6% renewable content, and the October 2026 EFLs we read printed the same 6%. Its Terms of Service describe an optional 100% Green Energy Add-on that buys Renewable Energy Credits to offset a customer's usage, billed monthly and not included in the EFL price. Those EFLs also said Southern Federal does not purchase excess distributed renewable generation, such as power exported from rooftop solar, although its Terms of Service describe Solar Buy-Back products it says it offers periodically.
What to Check Before Picking a Southern Federal Power Plan
Better Rate plans have listed the same $249 cancellation fee on 5- and 6-month terms as on the 36-month term. A flat fee does not shrink as the contract runs down, so on a short term it is a large cost relative to the months left. Easy Out Fixed and Digital Saver Plus have listed $99.
Better Rate and Easy Out Fixed versions have carried a $4.95 monthly base charge, about a cent per kWh at 500 kWh. On those plans the 500 kWh EFL average has run 1.2 to 2.0 cents above the 2,000 kWh figure, against 0.5 to 1.2 cents on versions with no base charge. Compare at your own usage.
Southern Federal's Terms of Service say it sends at least three written expiration notices for fixed-rate plans, the last at least 14 days before the end date, and that service continues month to month if you don't renew or switch. Its website publishes the energy charges on its variable month-to-month products: 8.6¢ to 15.2¢ per kWh from January 2025 to November 2026, by area and month, before delivery charges.
Optional add-ons such as Early Cancel Protection and the 100% Green Energy Add-on are not included in the EFL's average prices. Southern Federal's add-on page lists Early Cancel Protection at $9.95 a month, and its Terms of Service say add-ons carry over to a renewed term unless you ask to drop them.
Who Southern Federal Power May & May Not Fit
- Households that want a fixed rate without bill-credit thresholds or minimum-usage fees to manage
- Shoppers looking for a short or off-cycle term, from 3 to 15 months, who will track the end date
- Shoppers who want a smaller flat exit fee, such as the $99 listed on Easy Out Fixed and Digital Saver Plus plans
- Anyone who may leave a short Better Rate term early, since its $249 fee has been the same on 5-month and 36-month terms
- Households looking for free nights or bill-credit plans, neither of which Southern Federal has listed in the history TrueBill has tracked
- Homes with rooftop solar looking for a buyback credit: the EFLs we read said Southern Federal does not purchase excess distributed renewable generation
