As part of the Permian Basin and the county seat of Howard County in West Texas, plenty of Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) offer electricity plans in Big Spring. Because it’s a deregulated city, residents and businesses can choose which REP to buy electricity from. Power Wizard’s energy experts have compiled a list of a few of the most popular companies below to help guide your search.

Feel like your current REP isn’t quite the right fit? Power Wizard makes finding and switching to a new provider easy. All you have to do is:

1. Pop your Big Spring ZIP code into the search bar of our plan comparison tool.
2. Turn on filters to refine your search results.
3. Review the rate structure, provider, and Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each plan you’re considering.
4. Sign up through our website.

Your new REP will handle the rest behind the scenes with minimal service disruption. Keep in mind that switching providers before your electricity contract ends may require you to pay an Early Termination Fee (ETF) unless you’re moving or in the last 14 days of your contract.

Because Big Spring is in Texas’s competitive electricity market, two types of entities are involved: the REP you choose to sell and bill your electricity plan, and the assigned Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU), Oncor Electric Delivery, which delivers power and maintains local lines.

The REP is the company that residents and businesses buy electricity plans from. They create plans, set their own rates, handle billing, and provide customer service. Many REPs also offer rewards programs and other value-added services.

The TDU, commonly called an electric utility, owns, operates, and maintains the grid infrastructure. It also responds to power outages across the city. Unlike REPs, TDUs are assigned by location, not chosen.

The TDU for Big Spring is Oncor Electric Delivery. Report any power outages to Oncor by:

• Phone: 888-313-4747
• Text: OUT to 66267
• Online: https://www.oncor.com/outages/create_outage/identify

It’s no secret that families living in North Parkhill homes have different electricity needs than commuters in apartments on West Highway 80. Fortunately, REPs offer a variety of electricity plan structures to fit different lifestyles, budgets, and preferences. Power Wizard’s energy experts have broken them down below, but make sure you read the EFL before committing because REPs set their own rates and terms.

Fixed-Rate Plans

Fixed-rate electricity plans are a common choice for Big Spring households that want more stability in their energy costs. Your energy rate remains relatively the same throughout the contract term, helping reduce the impact of wholesale market price swings during West Texas’ hot summer months. Keep in mind that your total bill can still vary based on electricity usage, TDU delivery charges, taxes, and other applicable fees.

Time-of-Use Plans

Time-of-use plans may offer discounted energy during set hours, such as nights or weekends, and higher prices at other times. They can help Big Spring residents save if they can shift high-use activities, like charging an electric vehicle, running the dishwasher, or doing laundry, to the lower-priced hours.

Prepaid and No-Deposit Plans

Prepaid and no-deposit electricity plans let Big Spring residents start service without a deposit or credit check. You add funds in advance, your balance drops as you use electricity, and you’ll need to reload before it reaches the provider’s minimum balance.

Green Energy Plans

Green energy plans give Big Spring residents a way to support renewable electricity. These plans use Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to match electricity use with renewable power added to the grid from sources like wind, solar, or hydro. Options may include fixed-rate, usage credit, and time-of-use plans.

Usage Credit Plans

Usage credit plans apply a bill credit when your monthly electricity consumption reaches the plan’s qualifying usage level. These plans often make the most sense for Big Spring households with steady energy usage that consistently meets the usage threshold because the credit will not apply if a specific amount of electricity isn’t used.

Solar Buyback Plans

Solar buyback plans allow Big Spring homeowners with rooftop solar panels to receive bill credits for excess electricity their systems export to the main grid. Every provider calculates buyback credits differently, so the value you receive depends on your plan’s terms and your home’s solar production.

Variable-Price Plans

Variable-price plans are month-to-month plans with rates that can change based on the provider’s pricing method, market conditions, or other factors in the plan documents. They offer flexibility but less price stability than fixed-rate plans. For Big Spring residents who need short-term service, they may be worth considering, though rates can rise during high-demand periods.

From hotels on the I-20 corridor to professional service offices on Gregg Street, law firms in downtown, and equipment yards in the southeastern part of town, Big Spring is home to businesses of all sizes and industries. Some REPs typically offer them custom rate structures, account managers, and energy monitoring tools so they can make the most of their electricity service.

Big Spring residents have access to a variety of electricity plans, each with different pricing structures, contract terms, and potential savings opportunities. Taking a few minutes to compare the details can help you avoid unexpected costs and choose a plan that’s a better fit for your home and budget. As you shop:

• Match the plan to your household’s energy habits: A larger home with heavy cooling demands during Big Spring’s long, hot summers may benefit from a different plan than a smaller home or apartment with more consistent year-round usage.
• Compare estimated monthly costs, not just the headline rate: Some plans advertise an attractive price at a specific usage level but may cost more if your household uses a different amount of electricity.
• Look closely at bill credits and usage thresholds: Plans with bill credits often deliver their best value only when you reach a qualifying monthly kWh requirement.
• Read the contract before enrolling: Review the contract length, ETF, and other important terms so there are no surprises later.
• Research the provider’s customer experience: Customer reviews can offer helpful insight into billing practices, customer support, and overall satisfaction.
• Explore renewable energy options: Big Spring residents can choose from a variety of plans supported by RECs, often at competitive prices.
• Review the EFL: The EFL outlines how the plan is priced, any recurring charges, and other key details that make it easier to compare plans side by side.
