Are you craving more flexibility? With a variable-rate plan, the price you pay for electricity can go up or down from month to month. This plan type means you don’t have any long-term contracts and can switch plans at any time without penalty. 

Plans with extras

 

Sometimes, you may come across an energy plan offering a little something extra. Be on the lookout for plans with special perks!
