Short electricity contracts give flexibility if plans or circumstances might change soon. Longer contracts can help steady the energy rate for more predictable budgeting. The better option depends on your move timeline, usage patterns, and the exact terms in the plan documents. Check the Electricity Facts Label to see how contract length lines up with your situation.

Switching electricity providers in Texas starts with your exact service address. Retail choice is available only in areas served by competitive transmission and distribution utilities, so eligibility varies by location. Municipal utilities and cooperatives usually do not allow switching. Before comparing plans, check your current contract end date and any early termination fee to avoid extra costs. The new provider handles the energy charge and billing while the local TDU continues to deliver power with no interruption during a normal switch. Read the Electricity Facts Label to compare energy charges, base charges, and terms using your actual usage history.

Read the full Energy 101 guide to see how kWh, power ratings and sample bills on the Electricity Facts Label fit together.
