Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Corpus Christi

The energy market in Corpus Christi is deregulated, giving residents and businesses the ability to choose their electricity company from a variety of available providers. Because you can choose your provider, electricity companies compete for business by offering cheaper electric rates and better plan terms. You can use free marketplace sites like Texas Electric Rates to compare Corpus Christi electricity rates and sign up for a plan in one place.

While shopping for energy plans, keep the following tips in mind:

• Consider your ideal plan type. A fixed-rate plan will be best for most customers because it locks in your electricity price while you’re under contract and has more predictable bills. A riskier option is a variable-rate plan, which does not secure your energy rate. Instead, the rate you pay each month will vary depending on the wholesale cost of electricity. Variable-rate plans can lead to unexpectedly high energy bills, but they offer more flexibility because you don’t have to sign a contract.
• Switch plans in the fall or spring. Temperatures in Corpus Christi are typically more moderate in the fall and spring, leading to lower energy demand. When demand is low, electricity rates are often cheaper.
• Review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before enrolling. The EFL contains important details about the plan, including your rate type, contract length, additional fees, and more.
