Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Tyler
In Texas, energy is deregulated. That means providers get clever with how they present rates to customers to try to show the lowest rate. You can shop with free sites like Texas Electric Rates to find the best rates and learn more about offers.
Our shopping tips:
- Shop for a fixed-rate plan: In most cases, fixed-rate plans are the best option for customers. Fixed-rate plans offer stability because your rate doesn’t change during the contract.
- Consider switching in late fall: Late fall is usually moderate in Tyler, which can lead to lower electricity rates.
- Check the plan details: Before signing up, read the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to understand the price per kWh, renewable energy percentage, and early termination fees.

Best types of electricity plans in Tyler
The best plan for your home depends on factors like your monthly usage and energy goals. You’ll find a few types of electricity plans on the Texas Electric Rates marketplace. Some of the most common include:
- Fixed-rate plans: If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, your electricity rate stays the same while under contract. Fixed-rate plans are best for most customers because they offer more predictable energy bills. If you end your plan before your contract expires, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
- Variable-rate plans: Under a variable-rate plan, your energy price fluctuates monthly based on the wholesale cost of electricity. Your energy rate could be low one month and suddenly spike the next month. Variable-rate plans don’t require a contract, so you can switch to another plan at any time without paying an ETF.
- Renewable energy plans: Texas has no shortage of renewable resources, primarily solar and wind energy. Every Texas energy plan includes some percentage of green energy. If you’re interested in a 100% green energy plan, several Tyler electric companies offer plans sourced entirely from renewable sources.

What you need to know:
- Usage amount: This is how much energy you use, measured in kWh. Plans often have different rates depending on how much your usage is.
- Rate: Electricity rates are made up of a base charge (which remains the same each month) and an energy charge (which fluctuates based on your usage).
- Delivery charge: Your local utility charges a fee for delivering power to your home through electrical lines.
- Bill credit: If your energy plan includes a bill credit, the details will be outlined in your utility bill.
- Early termination fee: Your provider may charge an ETF if you cancel your plan before your contract ends. You won’t receive an ETF if you cancel because you’re moving outside your provider’s service area.
- Deposit: Some providers charge a deposit if your credit score doesn’t meet their set threshold. You might be exempt from the deposit if you have a higher credit score or if you have a history of paying your bill on time. If you’d like to bypass the deposit, some providers offer no-deposit energy options, including prepaid plans.
