In this Texas electricity providers comparison, we will determine the best Dallas Green Energy Rates in the metropolitan area. We have narrowed down the top three green plans, they are from 4 Change Energy, Frontier, and the Green Mountain Energy Company. We found that 4 Change Energy had the overall best green plan available, both economically and environmentally. Here is a breakdown of the 4 Change – Echo Saver 12 plan, and also the runners up in our top 3.
#1. – 4 Change Energy – Eco Saver 12
The Eco Saver 12 plan offers average usage rates of 7.3¢ at 2,000 kWh, 7.6¢ at 1,000 kWh, and 10.6¢ at 500 kWh. What makes this plan stand out as the top “Green” plan is the fact that the power supplied is 100% Texas wind energy. This is a 12-month plan. The one downside of this contract is the high price that the consumer may pay if they cancel early; “$20.00 multiplied by the number of months remaining on the term of the Contract.” An upside of this plan besides the low price per kilowatt-hour is that it also offers a $25 dollar credit back for going over 1,000 kWh’s. No base fee is charged as well, making it the best value over both the other electric plans listed below.
#2. – Frontier Energy – Naturally Green 12 +
The Naturally Green 12 + plan offers average usage rates of 8.0¢ at 2,000 kWh, 8.6¢ at 1,000 kWh, and 9.7¢ at 500 kWh. This is a 12-month plan, but the early termination fee is pretty standard at $150, plus it’s able to be waivered if the contract holder can provide proof that a valid move occurred. This plan also has a 100% renewable content. What makes this green plan second place, beside the price, is that an extra $5.95 base fee is also charged monthly, plus, it doesn’t have a credit back policy.
#3. – Green Mountain Energy – Pollution Free E-Plus Preferred
The Pollution Free E-Plus Preferred plan offers average usage rates of 8.9¢ at 2,000 kWh, 9.2¢ at 1,000 kWh, and 9.7¢ at 500 kWh. This is a month-to-month, and monthly no-contract plans tend to be more expensive per kWh. As with the other two plans, this has 100% renewable content. The difference between this plan and our top 4 Change Energy plan, is that this plan imports 41% of its wind energy from out-of-state.
