Our Review

Direct Energy's 12 Hour Power plan is their version of a "free nights" plan, where customer's energy charge is 0 during the 9 PM to 9 AM window. The only problem is the energy charge during the day is triple what you see in other electricity plans. One top of that, it has a $9.95 monthly recurring charge. In short, this is a very expensive plan, there are cheaper options that offer the same kind of usage windows.
