Variable-rate plans
Variable-rate plans adjust per-kWh prices with wholesale market conditions and typically have no fixed term. Big Spring currently lists zero such plans out of 112 total, so this plan type is not currently offered locally.
Renewable energy
Renewable energy plans source electricity from wind or solar generation. Big Spring has 110 such plans, 22 of them 100% green, averaging 15.25¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.02¢ over the market average, so the cost difference is negligible.
Prepaid plans
Prepaid plans require a balance before service and can disconnect when funds run out, with no credit check. Big Spring has 2 prepaid plans, averaging 19.68¢/kWh, which is higher than the 15.16¢/kWh fixed-rate average.
Time-of-use plans
Time-of-use plans charge per-kWh rates that vary by time of day, with higher prices during peak afternoon and evening hours. Big Spring has 4 such plans averaging 15.96¢/kWh, and they suit households that can shift air conditioning and laundry to off-peak hours.
