Your rate is the amount you pay per unit of electricity you use. Your electricity rate will be measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). To calculate your electricity bill, you'll multiply your rate by your usage. For example, if you're on a fixed-rate electricity plan that charges 6¢ per kWh and you use 1,000 kWh in a month, you would calculate your supply charges like this: $0.06 per kWh X 1,000 kWh =$60

A kilowatt hour (kWh) is a unit of measurement that details how much energy you use over time. Electric companies charge you based on your energy rate multiplied by the number of kilowatt-hours used. That’s why you’ll see Fulbright’s average energy rate stated as 16.86¢/kWh.

As you compare available plans in Fulbright, you’ll find multiple plan types, such as:
Fixed-rate plans: With fixed-rate plans, you'll be paying the same rate for every kilowatt-hour of power you use during your electricity contract. It's a straightforward and predictable way to manage your energy costs. Contracts usually range from one to three years. So, here's the deal: if you decide to cancel your plan before your contract is up, you might end up having to pay something called an early termination fee (ETF). One great thing about fixed-rate plans is that the price you pay for energy stays the same, which means you don't have to worry about sudden increases in the market.
Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans work by adjusting your monthly electricity rate according to the current wholesale electric prices. This means that your rate can go up or down depending on the market conditions. You don't need to sign a contract for this plan type. You can easily switch electric plans in Fulbright whenever you want. Just so you know, with variable-rate plans, the cost of electricity can go up during times when there's a high demand for it. This is because when demand is high, the wholesale cost of electricity also increases.
Renewable energy plans: Every electricity plan you come across in Texas will include a certain percentage of green energy. Pretty cool, right? It can differ depending on the company and the specific package you choose. There are certain electricity providers, such as Rhythm, Ohm Connect, and Champion that only offer green energy plans. This means that all the electricity they provide comes from renewable sources, which is great for the environment.
