Amigo Energy, a Houston electric retailer, provides affordable electricity to hundreds of thousands of Texans as a member of the Just Energy Group. Amigo Energy is committed to environmentally responsible power and offers a “Just Green” customer add on, which offsets 100% of the energy consumed with renewable sources such as wind and solar for an extra $10/month.
Amigo Energy Rates vs Payless Power Rates
Amigo Energy largely offers 12- to 24-month plans, with other options for 36- or 60-month contracts. The plans are fixed-rate and don’t include a flexible month-to-month option. With such long contracts, customers may feel stuck or pay a hefty cancelation fee if the plan is not right for their household. Plans with speciality “free nights and weekends” also often have higher rates than plans with straightforward pricing – discover common myths with these pricing gimmicks.
In contrast, Payless Power offers a variety of rate plans that offer customers flexibility including our popular prepaid plans: 1) Premier 12 is a fixed-rate plan that guarantees customers a constant rate for the duration of their 12-month contract. 2) Simple 6 is a fixed-rate plan that guarantees customers a constant rate for the duration of their 6-month contract. Both prepaid plans allow customers to add to their account balance when it gets low and save even more by adjusting energy use thanks to daily alerts. Payless Power’s transparent pricing help customers choose a prepaid plan that suits their budget needs and a convenient pay-as-you-go payment schedule.
