A 24-month plan locks your energy rate structure through two full summers — the season that drives most Texas bill pain. The appeal is insurance: whatever wholesale prices do next year, your contract rate doesn't move. The cost of that insurance shows up two ways: some providers price 24-month terms above their own 12-month equivalent, and the early termination fee is roughly double.

Two-year terms make the most sense when current pricing is good and your situation is stable. They make the least sense when you might move, when you signed at a seasonal price peak, or when the premium over the 12-month equivalent is large — you'd be locking in the bad part twice as long.

EFL average prices in cents/kWh, including delivery charges; ranges span delivery (TDSP) territories. Sorted by the 1,000 kWh column. Plan terms change — confirm current rates and conditions with the provider before enrolling.

How This List Is Ranked

Plans are ordered by EFL average price at 1,000 kWh, from the same quality-checked inventory our compare tool prices. “Best” means lowest disclosed benchmark price, not best for every household — check the 500 and 2,000 kWh columns if your usage runs low or high, and use the compare tool for a ranking at your exact usage.

Who This Category May & May Not Fit

May fit
  • Homeowners with no move on the horizon who want rate certainty through two summers
  • Anyone signing during a favorable pricing period who wants to hold that rate longer
  • People who hate re-shopping — one enrollment covers two years
May not fit
  • Renters on one-year leases — the cancellation fee math works against you (moving waives it, but only with documentation)
  • Anyone signing at a seasonal price peak, which gets locked in for two years instead of one
  • Shoppers who expect market prices to fall and want to re-shop sooner

Two Years vs One: How to Decide

The decision isn't really 24 months versus the field — it's 24 months versus the same provider's 12-month equivalent. That gap is the price of the second year of rate protection, stated in cents per kWh, and it moves week to week: sometimes it's effectively free, sometimes it's a real premium. Pull up the 12-month list next to this one and compare like for like before deciding.

What you're buying with the longer term is fewer decisions and less exposure: one enrollment instead of two, one renewal window instead of two, and no risk of renewal-shopping during a price spike next year. What you're giving up is the option to re-shop if listed prices fall — a 24-month contract holds whether the market goes up or down, and exiting early to chase a cheaper rate means paying the cancellation fee. Neither side of that trade is free, and nobody — providers included — reliably predicts Texas wholesale prices two years out.

The Exit Math: Moving, Selling, and Early Termination

A 24-month term doubles how long the early termination fee hangs over your decisions, and the fee itself is roughly double the 12-month norm in our data. The structure matters as much as the amount: a flat fee costs the same whether you leave in month 3 or month 22, while a per-month-remaining fee is at its most expensive early in a long contract — exactly when an unexpected move is most likely to be far from the end date. Moving out of the premises generally waives the fee under Texas rules, with documentation, but selling isn't the only scenario worth gaming out: lease renewals, job changes, and household changes all land differently against a two-year commitment than a one-year one. If any of those are plausible inside two years, check the fee structure in the EFL before the rate.

What to Check Before Enrolling

Cancellation fees roughly double

Listed early termination fees on 24-month plans in our data commonly run around $295, versus about $150 for 12-month terms — and per-month-remaining structures cost the most when you exit early in a long term.

Price the rate-lock premium explicitly

Compare a provider's 24-month price against its own 12-month plan. If the longer term costs meaningfully more per kWh, you're paying that premium every month for two years — make sure the insurance is worth it to you.

Odd long terms exist

Some providers list 25-month terms that shift your renewal month. Same math as 24 months, but check which season the contract actually ends in.

Reading the EFL for These Plans

The EFL for a 24-month plan discloses the same items as any other — average prices at 500/1,000/2,000 kWh, base charge, bill-credit thresholds, and the early termination fee. Two things deserve extra attention at this term length: the exact cancellation fee structure (flat vs per month remaining changes early-exit math substantially over two years), and any language about in-term changes to pass-through delivery charges, which can move even on a fixed-rate plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 24-month plan worth it right now?
It depends on the premium. Compare the same provider's 12- and 24-month prices in the live tables — when the gap is near zero, the second year of rate protection is essentially free; when the 24-month term costs more per kWh, you're buying insurance and should decide if the price is fair. Nobody reliably predicts Texas wholesale prices two years out, including providers.
What if I move during a 24-month contract?
Texas contracts generally waive the early termination fee when you move and provide proof (a forwarding address or move-out documentation). Without the move exception, you'd owe the listed fee — commonly around $295 on 24-month terms in our data, or the per-month-remaining amount some providers use instead.
Do 24-month plans have worse rates than 12-month plans?
Not always — pricing varies by provider and week. In our current data some providers list nearly identical prices across terms while others price the 24-month term higher. The 12-month page and this one use the same live inventory, so you can compare directly.
When will I shop again on a 24-month plan — and does the season matter?
Two years from enrollment, in the same calendar season you signed. That cuts both ways: renewal-shopping half as often is the point of the term, but signing at an August price peak locks that starting point in through two summers instead of one, and puts your eventual renewal back in August too. Some providers list 25-month terms that shift the end date a month; if renewal timing matters to you, check which month the contract actually ends in before enrolling.
