What is the best Corpus Christi electricity plan right now?

Right now, the best Corpus Christi electricity plans are simple fixed-rate plans without base charges, minimum usage fees, setup fees, tiered rates, bill credits, or free nights.

There are many Corpus Christi energy plans that include these harmful gimmicks and hidden fees. These plans may appear affordable with a very low advertised rate at a specific usage threshold, but the Electricity Facts Label reveals a very expensive energy charge when you look a little bit closer.

On these plans, it is very easy to end up with an overly expensive bill. When you use the wrong amount of power or use too much at the wrong time, your effective rate per kWh can be double what you expected to pay.

For these reasons, BKV Energy recommends the majority of energy shoppers go with a simple fixed-rate plan. Shop by energy charge, not average price.

Comparing types of electricity plans in Corpus Christi

Let’s look closer at the different types of energy plans available in Corpus Christi:

Fixed rates: Fixed-rates offer stability and predictability because your energy charge is locked in for the duration of your contract. The rate does not change even if market prices go up or down. If you decide to cancel early, there is usually an early termination fee (ETF).
Variable rates: Variable-rate plans are month-to-month with no contract and no early termination fee. There is no protection from price volatility; the rate changes with wholesale pricing each month.
Time-of-use: Common time-of-use plans include free nights, free weekends, and free days. These plans are eye-catching because the name includes “free.” The problem is they have very expensive energy charges when power is not “free” and if you don’t shift enough usage to the right time, you pay more than you expect.
Bill credit: Bill credits have tiered rates across 500, 1000, and 2000 kWh because a discount applied at a specific usage threshold makes one average price appear very affordable. The discount masks an overpriced energy charge that hurts your wallet when you use the wrong amount of power.
Prepaid or no deposit: If you’re looking for electricity without a deposit, a prepaid plan can be a good option. Unfortunately, prepaid or no deposit plans often have very expensive energy charges, which can outweigh the cost of the deposit amount in the long run.
Renewable: You can select 100% green power fueled by electricity from Texas wind and solar farms.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the best electricity provider in Corpus Christi?

We believe BKV Energy is the best electricity provider in Corpus Christi. In a market full of gimmicks and misleading energy plans, BKV Energy stands apart from the rest as a company that focuses on putting customers first with simplicity, transparency, and affordability. Our electricity plans have affordable rates without base charges or minimum usage fees. Bluebonnet plan customers also reap the benefits of BKV Energy Plus, such as an annual loyalty payout, rate reduction program, and monthly reward points.

Does Corpus Christi have the power to choose?

Yes. Corpus Christi is part of the deregulated Texas electricity market. This means homeowners and renters in the area have the ability to choose their electricity provider.

How can I decrease my Corpus Christi electricity bill?

If you’re looking to reduce your electricity bill in Corpus Christi, start by looking for ways to reduce your kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage. The less power you consume, the lower your bill will be. Bills are highest during the summer. During those months, we recommend setting your thermostat between 76-78 degrees, turning off lights when they aren’t in use, relying on ceiling fans instead of AC, and taking shorter, cooler showers.

How does weather in Corpus Christi impact your energy bill?

Corpus Christi is located in South Texas along the Gulf Coast. Thanks to the proximity to the equator and the Gulf of Mexico, the area experiences very long, hot, and humid summers. For a good portion of the year, you can expect your air conditioner to work hard to keep your indoor spaces comfortable, which will lead to higher bills.

How does the Bluebonnet plan work, and what benefits does it offer?

The Bluebonnet plan includes BKV Energy Plus, which offers a range of services such as ElectroShare (annual payout tied to customer tenure), Save Now, Pay Later (a 0% interest deferred payment option for added billing flexibility), Reduce Your Rate (notifications when market conditions permit a rate reduction during your contract), Spark Alerts (severe weather updates and energy-saving advice), Contract Consultation (personalized assistance with plan renewals), and VoltPoints (a loyalty program featuring gift card giveaways, grocery coupons, and more).

Are there fees on the Bluebonnet plan?

The Bluebonnet plan does not include any base charges or usage fees.

Can I customize my Bluebonnet plan?

When choosing a Bluebonnet plan on our website, you can select from term lengths of 12, 24, or 36 months. You will also have the option to choose between 29% or 100% renewable energy for your plan. Additionally, you can decide on your billing preferences, including paper or electronic billing, autopay, or adding another authorized user to your account.

Am I allowed to cancel my plan before the contract ends?

If you cancel within the first 30 days, you do not have to pay an early termination fee. If you decide to cancel after the trial period has ended, then an early termination fee of $20 per remaining month on the contract is applied. You can cancel your plan in the last 14 days without incurring an early termination fee.
