TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Bay City
Fixed-rate plans
Bay City has 104 fixed-rate plans, priced from 6.8¢/kWh with a 14.17¢/kWh average. Fixed rates hold one per-kWh price for the contract term, offering budget predictability during humid summers when air conditioning drives higher usage.
Variable-rate plans

Renewable energy
Bay City has 109 renewable plans, 22 of them 100% green, averaging 14.31¢/kWh. Green premium is -0.01¢ against the market average, so renewable pricing sits essentially level with conventional plans.
Prepaid plans

Time-of-use plans
