Fixed-rate energy without long-term commitments
6-month energy plans in Texas
Some Texans need short-term electricity contracts. Maybe you’re renting or between homes. Maybe you just want to lock in a good rate without committing for several years. This is exactly what 6-month electricity plans are designed for.
BKV Energy’s 6-month electric plans give you the price stability of a fixed rate with the freedom to reassess in just half a year. Your rate stays locked in for the full six months without surprises or major fluctuations. Then, when your term ends, you’re free to renew, switch plans, or explore new options.
Depending on the time of year, BKV Energy may not offer 6-month plans.
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.
