TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Baytown
Fixed-rate plans
Baytown has 106 fixed-rate plans among 113 total, with rates starting at 7.1¢/kWh and averaging 14.76¢/kWh. Rates stay constant for the contract term, which helps households budget through humid summers when air conditioning drives higher usage.
Variable-rate plans
Baytown currently lists no variable-rate or month-to-month plans among its 113 total. Those plans pass wholesale market price changes to customers, so bills can change monthly. Summer heat in the Houston region can push wholesale prices up.
Renewable energy
111 renewable energy plans are listed in Baytown, 22 of them 100% green, with an average rate of 14.9¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.02¢ versus the market average, so these plans cost about the same as conventional offerings.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are listed in Baytown averaging 19.51¢/kWh, above the 14.76¢/kWh fixed-rate average. Prepaid plans require payment before usage and may include deposit or disconnection terms. Summer air conditioning use can draw down balances faster.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans in Baytown average 16.41¢/kWh, with rates varying by time of day. Peak periods often fall in late afternoon and evening, when households run air conditioning. Shifting laundry and dishwashing to off-peak hours can lower bills.
Free nights & weekends
Certain plans offer no-charge electricity during set night or weekend hours; market data here does not isolate them. Free hours apply only within the plan's listed window, so confirm eligible times before comparing total costs.
