What is a 6-month electricity plan?
A 6-month energy plan is a fixed-rate contract that locks in your price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for a six-month term. Unlike variable or month-to-month plans where your rate can change with market conditions, a 6-month fixed-rate plan keeps your energy charge consistent from your first bill to your last.
| Season | Plan Expiration | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Fall (Sep-Nov) | Spring (Mar-May) | Ideal scenario: Your plan starts and ends during low-rate shoulder seasons. |
| Spring (Feb-Apr) | Fall (Aug-Oct) | Good option: You get a low spring rate, but the plan expires at the end of summer |
| Summer (May-Aug) | Winter (Nov-Feb) | Use caution: Not the best time to sign up during the year, but the renewal window isn’t terrible. |
| Winter (Dec-Feb) | Summer (Jun-Aug) | Be strategic: You may get a decent sign-up rate, but your plan will expire when rates are typically the highest. |
Bottom line: the best time to start a 6-month plan is during a shoulder season, so your plan also expires in a shoulder season. This generally sets you up for the lowest prices.
