Publicly listed residential plans with valid pricing data matching this category. Data updated July 20, 2026. Confirm current rates with the provider before enrolling.

A fixed-rate plan locks the energy charge — the per-kWh price your provider controls — for the length of the contract. It does not mean your bill is fixed: usage still moves your total every month, regulated delivery charges pass through from your utility, and plan structures layered on top (bill credits, usage tiers, free periods) can make the effective rate swing even while the underlying energy charge never changes.

That's the trap in the label. A “fixed-rate” plan with a $100 credit at 1,000 kWh has a fixed energy charge and a wildly variable effective rate. The plans below are all contractually fixed-rate; the Notes column flags which carry structures that make their real-world cost usage-dependent.

The alternative — variable-rate, month-to-month plans — gives flexibility with no cancellation fee, at the cost of a rate the provider can reprice monthly. In our current data, variable listings are a small minority and generally price above comparable fixed terms.

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. The order is a starting point, not a verdict: plans with bill credits or time-of-use structures rank on their benchmark price, which may not resemble their price at your usage.

Who This Category May & May Not Fit

May fit
  • Anyone who wants the energy charge locked for a known term — the default choice for most Texas households
  • Budget-focused households pairing a fixed rate with a simple structure (no credits, no time windows) for maximum predictability
May not fit
  • People between homes or on short timelines — month-to-month variable plans avoid cancellation fees entirely
  • Anyone assuming fixed-rate means fixed bill — if you want minimal month-to-month surprise, you specifically want a fixed-rate plan without credits or tiers

What to Check Before Enrolling

Fixed rate ≠ fixed bill

Usage moves your total, and delivery charges pass through at whatever the utility's regulated tariff says. Fixed protects you from provider repricing during the term — nothing else.

Structures hide inside the label

Bill credits, usage tiers, and free periods all coexist with a contractually fixed rate. If you want a bill that scales smoothly with usage, look for plans with no flags in the Notes column, or start from the no-bill-credit list.

Watch the base charge

Many fixed plans carry a monthly base charge. It's a fixed dollar amount, so its impact on your effective rate doubles when your usage halves — check the 500 kWh column if you're a low-usage household.

Reading the EFL for These Plans

On a fixed-rate EFL, the energy charge section states the locked per-kWh price (or prices, for tiered plans). Delivery charges are listed separately and can change with the utility's tariff even mid-term. The EFL also states the term length, early termination fee, and — critically — the exact bill-credit or tier conditions that determine your effective rate at different usage levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my bill go up on a fixed-rate plan?
Yes — from usage and from delivery-charge changes. Fixed-rate locks the energy charge your provider controls. Your total bill still scales with how much you use, and the regulated delivery charges from your TDSP pass through at whatever rate the utility's current tariff sets.
Fixed or variable — which is cheaper?
In our current data, the few variable-rate listings generally price above comparable fixed terms, and variable rates can be repriced monthly. Variable's real value is flexibility (no cancellation fee), which matters if you're moving soon. For staying put, fixed terms are usually the better economics. See fixed vs variable plans.
Which fixed-rate plans have the most predictable bills?
The ones without extra structure: no bill credits, no usage tiers, no free windows, and ideally a low base charge. On those plans your bill scales almost linearly with usage. The no-bill-credit list filters to exactly that shape.
