TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Desoto
Fixed-rate plans
Desoto has 114 fixed-rate plans in the market, with prices starting at 7.2¢/kWh and an average of 15.27¢/kWh. Rates stay constant for the contract term, which helps households budget for summer cooling costs.
Variable-rate plans
Desoto currently lists no variable-rate or month-to-month plans, so no average price is available for this category. Prices in such plans typically track wholesale market conditions, which can raise bills during peak summer demand.
Renewable energy
Desoto has 118 renewable energy plans, 22 of them 100% green, averaging 15.35¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.01¢/kWh relative to the market average, so renewable sourcing carries little price difference in this area.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are listed in Desoto, averaging 19.68¢/kWh, which is above the other listed plan-type averages. Prepaid billing requires payment before usage, which lets households track spending closely during summer months when air conditioning drives higher consumption.
Time-of-use plans
Four time-of-use plans in Desoto average 15.96¢/kWh, with rates varying by time of day. Peak periods often fall in late afternoon, overlapping Texas heat, so shifting laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging to off-peak hours affects total cost.
Free nights & weekends
Desoto's market data does not break out free nights and weekends as a separate plan category, so no count or average price is reported. Confirm free-hour windows in the rate schedule before enrolling.
