Review each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for the full breakdown of supply versus delivery costs.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Tyler?
Fixed-rate plans lock your supply rate for a set term (typically 3–36 months), protecting you from seasonal price spikes on the ERCOT grid. Variable-rate plans can change monthly based on wholesale electricity costs. In Tyler, fixed plans currently start at 6.7¢/kWh. Most energy advisors recommend fixed rates for budget predictability, especially heading into summer when Texas wholesale prices historically spike.
