Variable Price Electricity Plans
A variable price electricity plan allows your rate to fluctuate with the market. While these plans may offer flexibility and potential savings during low-demand periods, they also carry the risk of increased costs during peak times. Variable price plans are typically month-to-month, which means you’re not locked into a long-term contract.
Features:
- Month-to-month flexibility
- Rate changes with the energy market
- Potential for lower rates during off-peak times
If you prefer flexibility, a variable price plan might be right for you. Search for electricity rates in your area to see current options.

Time-of-Use Electricity Plans
Time-of-use plans offer different rates depending on when you use electricity. You can save money by using electricity during off-peak times like late nights, weekends, and holidays. However, using electricity during peak times, such as weekdays, can lead to higher rates.
Features:
- Can be an ideal choice for households with flexible schedules
- Potential for free electricity within plan-specified window
- May help reduce grid strain during peak times
