TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Galveston
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans make up 106 of 113 Galveston plans, locking per-kWh prices for the contract term. Listed rates start at 7.1¢/kWh, averaging 14.76¢/kWh. Locked prices keep bills predictable during humid summers when air conditioning drives higher usage.
Variable-rate plans
Customers seeking month-to-month terms face none in the Galveston market of 113 plans. Where offered, these plans pass through wholesale price swings, which can be significant during Texas summer demand peaks.
Renewable energy
111 Galveston plans include renewable energy, and 22 are 100% green. Renewable plans average 14.9¢/kWh, a green premium of -0.02¢ relative to the market average. Pricing is close to conventional plans, so the environmental attribute adds little cost.
Prepaid plans
2 prepaid plans are listed in Galveston, averaging 19.51¢/kWh, above the averages of other listed plan types. Prepaid service requires payment before usage and draws down a balance, which can help households track spending during high summer cooling months.
Time-of-use plans
5 time-of-use plans in Galveston average 16.41¢/kWh, with rates varying by time of day. Peak periods typically fall in late afternoon and evening, when hot weather raises cooling demand and grid load. Usage shifted to off-peak hours can reduce costs.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans set a zero energy charge during defined off-peak windows, so shifting laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging into those hours lowers the bill. Savings depend on how much usage falls in those windows and on the base rate.
