What is No Deposit Electricity?
No deposit electricity simply means that you don’t have to pay a large upfront deposit before your service begins. If you qualify, you can enjoy the benefits of flexible electricity with a plan that doesn’t require a deposit, giving you more control of your household budget.
No Deposit Electricity vs. Prepaid vs. Pay-As-You-Go Plans
It’s easy to confuse no deposit electricity with other types of plans like prepaid or pay-as-you-go. Here’s how they differ:
No Deposit Electricity: Available if you qualify based on credit or payment history. You choose from standard fixed-rate plans without paying an upfront deposit.
Prepaid Electricity: Think of a prepaid phone plan. You pay for electricity in advance, and when the balance runs low, you add funds to keep the service active. Prepaid accounts are typically set up with a minimum initial payment.
Pay-As-You-Go Electricity: In Texas, pay-as-you-go electricity is generally considered to be the same as prepaid electricity. So, you’ll add an initial balance to your account, which will be used up as you consume electricity. Eventually, you’ll need to recharge your balance.
With Tara Energy, qualified customers can enjoy the benefits of fixed-rate plans without the deposit, an initial payment, or hassle of monitoring daily balances.
