Types of Mission electric plans

Mission has several energy plan types to choose from as you compare your options, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit plans. Here’s a quick rundown of each type.

• Fixed-rate plans: Choosing a fixed-rate plan means your electricity rate will remain stable over the course of your contract, which typically lasts between 1 and 3 years. Fixed rates protect you from fluctuations in the wholesale cost of electricity. You will also likely be responsible for an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your contract early.
• Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans fluctuate month-to-month in response to fluctuations in the energy market rate. The rate you pay each month will change, but you will not have to enter into a contract term, and you won’t have to pay an ETF for switching plans or providers.
• No-deposit plans: Credit checks are a normal part of the energy-buying process. For those who would prefer not to have a credit check run or want to avoid paying a deposit, prepaid or no-deposit plans are an option. With these plans, you prepay for your electricity in advance, and your provider will notify you to top up your account when the balance runs low to keep the electricity flowing.
