About electricity plans

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), electricity generation produces more carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions than any other sector in the U.S. and is the leading source of industrial air pollution.

By choosing a renewable electricity plan, you support the growth and ongoing operation of clean, pollution-free energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. This helps reduce harmful emissions and promotes a healthier environment for future generations.

Electricity is the product of a mix of generation energy sources that is delivered over a system of wires. You will not have electricity from a specific generation facility delivered directly to your service address, but Green Mountain Energy, Direct Energy, and NRG ensure that the applicable percentage of your electricity usage is matched by the generation of energy from renewable resources on an annual basis. These suppliers do so by purchasing and retiring renewable energy/environmental attributes or renewable energy certificates (RECs) representing the environmental attributes associated with the applicable amount of renewable energy generation from the area specified for your product. Your purchase helps support the development and operation of renewable resources in the areas specified by your product.

If you’re moving to a new address, your electricity supplier may be able to transfer your service to your new location. Many suppliers offer convenient options to request a transfer online, or you can contact them directly for assistance.

If you decide to switch electricity suppliers as part of your move, you can typically do so without incurring a cancellation fee. Be sure to check with your current supplier for specific terms and conditions related to moving.

A variable-rate energy plan offers flexibility for customers who prefer not to commit to a fixed-term contract. With this type of plan, you can typically cancel without incurring an early termination fee.  However, the rate you pay for electricity may change from month to month, depending on a number of factors.

A fixed-rate energy plan ensures that the price you pay for electricity supply remains constant throughout the duration of your contract. This provides predictability in your energy costs, regardless of fluctuations in the market.

Please note that while your supply rate remains fixed under this type of plan, the delivery charges set by your local utility—responsible for delivering electricity to your home—may still vary.

With a fixed-rate energy plan, the price you pay for electricity each billing period will not change for the duration of your contract.

However, the price that your TDSP charges to deliver electricity to your home may change. This can only happen if the Public Utility Commission approves the change. If that happens, the TDSP charges on your bill would increase, but all the other charges (energy charge, base charge or usage charge) have to remain the same – those are fixed.

Variable-rate energy plans offer flexibility to customers that aren’t ready for a set contract. Customers on a variable-rate plan can cancel their electricity plan anytime without penalty. However, the rate you pay for electricity may vary from month-to-month.

Everything Energy doesn’t charge deposits, but once you select a plan and provider, we’ll send you to their website to complete your enrollment. Retail Electricity Providers may require customers to pay a deposit. During enrollment, you’ll learn of any deposit requirements.

If you move to a new address, your electricity provider may be able to transfer your service to your new address. You can contact your provider for details on this service – and many offer the ability to transfer your service online. If you choose to switch providers during your move, you can generally do so without being charged a cancellation fee.
