TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Corpus Christi
Fixed-rate plans
Corpus Christi has 104 fixed-rate plans with an average price of 14.17¢/kWh, and the lowest listed rate is 6.8¢/kWh. Fixed rates hold steady through the contract term, which suits households with steady summer cooling loads.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are listed among the 111 Corpus Christi plans, so no average variable price is reported. Review contract length and early termination fees when comparing other plan types.
Renewable energy
109 renewable energy plans are offered in Corpus Christi, 22 of which are 100% green, with an average of 14.31¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.01¢ relative to the market average, so renewable plans price nearly identically to standard offerings.
Prepaid plans
Corpus Christi has 2 prepaid plans, averaging 18.65¢/kWh, the highest average among these plan types. Prepaid plans require upfront balance purchases and may disconnect service when funds run out, which matters during the Gulf Coast's hot summer months.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans are available in Corpus Christi at an average of 15.55¢/kWh. Rates vary by hour, so households that run air conditioning or appliances during peak afternoon periods should compare peak and off-peak charges before enrolling.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans charge no energy fee during set off-peak windows, which can offset Corpus Christi's high evening cooling demand if usage shifts to those hours. Check each plan's free-hour schedule and per-kWh rate outside those windows.
