True Fixed Plan Comparison: Amigo Energy vs. Energy Texas
This comparison focuses on the most transparent, truly fixed-rate plans from two major providers: Simple Choice 12 from Amigo Energy and the No Bull series from Energy Texas.
Amigo Energy – Simple Choice Summary
The Simple Choice plan is generally a true fixed-rate product. However, it includes a base charge and a minimum usage fee if the customer consumes less than 400 kWh. We have flagged this in our reviews because this specific fee is often not factored into the advertised rates at the 500, 1,000, or 2,000 kWh levels. Additionally, Amigo’s energy rates are commonly higher than the most competitive options currently in the market.
Energy Texas – No Bull Summary
No Bull plans are typically featured on Power to Choose and are highly competitive. Other plans, like their Come & Take It series, offer similar structures but are usually found directly on their website.
A standout feature of Energy Texas is their $5 autopay discount, which is a significant perk. Because this plan has no base charge, it results in a very flat rate curve regardless of consumption. This makes it one of the closest options to a "perfect" fixed-rate plan, which is especially beneficial for apartments with lower energy needs.
