Contract Vs. No Contract plans

  length of the plan your energy charge will
  remain the same throughout the term. The term of
  the plan can range for however long you need it
  to.
• This can be 3 month, 12 months, or even 3 years
  there are plenty of choices.

No Contract plans

• Variable (or month-to-month) plans are
  contract-free plans. They may require a deposit
  based on your credit score. However, customers
  are not held in contract like in fixed term
  plans.
• There are also no Early Termination Fees should
  you choose to switch to a different plan/company
  down the line.
• The energy charge fluctuates per month unlike
  Fixed Term plans.

Contract Free Plans

• Prepay or Pay As You Go Electricity are
  contract free plans, and deposit free.
• No credit check required for prepay plans.
• Customers receive updates on when their account
  balance is low, so they should keep an eye on how
  much to reload on their account.
• Just like a pay as you go phone, your electricity
  can be disconnected if customers dont load a
  sufficient amount of money to their account.

Monthly Charges

• TDSP Charges come from the local utility company
  that manages the poles/wires that actually
  deliver electricity service to your home. You may
  see these on your bill therefore they are
  standard.
• Plans that say Minimum Usage of 1,000 kwh) Keep
  an eye out for plans that will charge customers
  if you use under a certain amount of Kilowatt
  hours (kWh) per month.
• Base Charge- this is a standard charge each month
  depending on the electricity companies preference.
