TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Arlington
Fixed-rate plans
114 of the 120 Arlington plans are fixed-rate, averaging 15.27¢/kWh with the lowest at 7.2¢/kWh. Fixed rates hold steady for the contract term, which can help budget for summer cooling costs in North Texas heat.
Variable-rate plans
Arlington's market currently lists no variable-rate or month-to-month plans, so no average price applies. Prices under these plans would move with wholesale market conditions, which can rise sharply during peak summer demand on the ERCOT grid.
Renewable energy
118 of the 120 Arlington plans include renewable energy, and 22 are 100% green, averaging 15.35¢/kWh. Renewable plans price close to the 15.27¢/kWh market average, with a green premium of -0.01¢, so the energy source is the main difference.
Prepaid plans
2 prepaid plans are listed in Arlington, averaging 19.68¢/kWh, about 4.4¢ above the 15.27¢ fixed-rate average. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, and balances can run out during extended August heat, when cooling demand is highest.
Time-of-use plans
4 time-of-use plans are offered in Arlington, averaging 15.96¢/kWh. These plans charge different rates by time of day, so households running air conditioning or appliances during peak afternoon and evening hours may pay more than flat-rate plans.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans set certain overnight and weekend hours at no energy charge. In Arlington's climate they suit households able to shift laundry, dishwashing, and EV charging away from hot weekday afternoons, when air conditioning runs most.
