Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Mesquite
Residents and businesses in Mesquite benefit from access to a deregulated energy market. If you live here, you can choose your own electricity provider instead of buying power from your utility company. This creates competition among Mesquite’s energy providers, which can lead to cheap rates for consumers.
As you compare electric rates in Mesquite, keep these tips in mind:
- Sign up for a fixed-rate plan: Fixed-rate plans come with a stable energy rate that remains the same for the length of your contract. This makes it easier to predict your electricity costs and protects you from price hikes in the energy market.
- Switch during off-peak seasons: In Texas, energy rates are typically highest in summer and winter because people use more power to cool and heat their homes. To find the best deals, we recommend shopping in spring and fall since energy demand (and prices) tend to be lower during these times.
- Read the EFL: Every energy plan in Mesquite has an Electricity Facts Label (EFL) — a document containing key plan details, such as the rate, usage tiers, renewable energy percentage, and cancellation fees. Be sure to read it before signing a new contract.

Electricity rate overview
Understanding your bill is an essential part of being an informed consumer. If you aren’t familiar with the different components of your electric bill, you can learn about them in the following section or call an energy expert at the number on this page.
What you need to know:
- Usage amount: This is how much energy you use, measured in kWh. Plans often have different rates depending on how much your usage is.
- Rate: This is the amount your energy provider charges for electricity. Your rate is actually split into two parts: a base charge (which remains the same each month, no matter how much energy you use) and an energy charge (which varies depending on your usage).
- Delivery charge: This is the fee your utility company charges for delivering power to your house. This rate may change based on your location.
- Bill credit: Depending on your plan and power company, you might receive a bill credit for using a certain amount of electricity in one billing cycle. For instance, Frontier Utilities’ Frontier Saver Plus 12 plan offers a $100 bill credit when you use 1,000 kWh or more.
- Early termination fee: Often shortened to ETFs, these fees apply when you cancel a fixed-rate plan before the contract term ends.
- Deposit: If you don’t have a strong credit score, you’ll likely need to pay a deposit on your energy plan (unless you opt for a no-deposit plan). You’ll usually get the money back as a bill credit after making on-time payments for a year. For electricity providers, deposits offer some financial protection in case customers don’t pay their bills.
