    TXU Energy Plan Analysis

    Simple Rate 12

    Our Rating:
    Plan Term: 12 Months
    Plan Type: Fixed Rate

    TXU's Simple Rate 12 plan is a fixed rate plan. What that means is that the kWh rates between the usage levels of 500, 1000, and 2000 are pretty close together, so there won't be any big bill fluctuations based on usage. Unfortuantely, the Energy Charge on this plan is still extremely high, 25% higher than some other's weve seen, and the rate in question doesn't seem in include transportation fees from the utility. What that adds up to is almost certainly an exremely high bill every month. The plan also has a very high monthly recurring charge of $9.95 a month, which is pretty standard for TXU. There are similar plans on the market for much, much cheaper.
    thumb_upPros:
    This is a flat rate, so there won't be any big bill surpsies month to month.
    thumb_downCons:
    This plan is still expensive, so in some ways, the bill will be an unpleasant surprise every month.

    Flex Forward

    Our Rating:
    Plan Term: 1 Months
    Plan Type: Month-to-Month

    TXU's Flex Fowrad Plan is TXU's month-to-month/variable electricity plan option. Most electricity companies have a month-to-month plan. The benefits of this plan are that there is no contract, therefore no cancellation fees. The downside is your rate can fluctuate month-to-month by the provider, and that adjustment is rarely, if ever, cheaper. The risk is you can pay double the rate from month to month before you even notice.
    thumb_upPros:
    This plan has no contract and no cancellation fee.
    thumb_downCons:
    This plan's rates can fluctuate month-to-month, sometimes substantially.
