Your power plan is ending. Here's what to check.
Fixed-rate plans in Texas end on a set date, and your provider has to warn you first. Here's what those notices mean and what to do before the date.
You'll get three notices
For a fixed-rate plan, Texas rules say your provider must send at least three written notices of the date your plan ends. For most home plans, the last one must come at least 30 days before that date.
They arrive by email or with your bill, and they're easy to miss. When you see one, put the end date on your calendar.
If you do nothing
If you don't pick a new plan, your provider moves you to a month-to-month plan. Texas rules say a month-to-month contract can't have a termination fee, so you can leave whenever you want.
Your provider sets that plan's price. Compare it with what you were paying before you let it run.
A checklist for the last month
- Find the end date on your notice or your bill.
- Look up how many kWh you used each month last year. Summer and winter can be very different.
- Compare new plans at your own usage, not only at 1,000 kWh.
- Read the Electricity Facts Label of any plan before you sign.
- Start shopping two to four weeks before the end date so you aren't rushed.
About Ambit's plans
- If your fixed-rate term has ended and you didn't pick a new plan, Texas rules put you on a month-to-month product you can cancel at any time with no fee. That means nothing is holding you where you are — it's a good moment to compare what you're paying against a fixed-rate Ambit plan.
- In Texas, switching to Ambit is usually finalized within one to seven business days after you enroll, and your power is not interrupted when it happens. You can also pick the date you want the switch to land on.
- Ambit's T.L.C. Guarantee lets you change to a different Ambit term plan once in your first 12 months without penalty.
