How do I lock in the best rates in a deregulated market?

To secure the best rates in Texas's deregulated electricity market, compare offers from multiple providers during low-demand seasons (spring/fall). Fixed-rate plans protect you from price fluctuations for 12-36 months. Check for promotional discounts, but review contract terms carefully for hidden fees. Use comparison tools to evaluate providers and find the lowest electricity rates available. Consider your usage patterns and whether time-of-use plans could save you money. Signing up during off-peak months often yields better pricing.
