Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in New Britain?
A fixed-rate plan in New Britain locks your per-kWh supply rate for the contract term, shielding you from ERCOT wholesale price swings.

With New Britain fixed rates starting at 13.59¢/kWh, locking in before summer — when Texas wholesale prices historically spike — gives most households more predictable bills and lower overall costs.
