No. All 10 Tara Energy plans we track are priced without a bill credit, so the advertised price holds up better across the year than a bill-credit plan's would. Delivery charges, a base charge if there is one, and tiers can still move the real price, which is why we price every plan on 12 months of usage.

Tara Energy's fixed-rate plans charge $175.00 to leave before the contract ends. The exact fee is on each plan's Electricity Facts Label, linked from every plan on this page. Under Texas rules you owe no fee if you switch in the last 14 days of a fixed-term contract, or if you move and give the provider proof of the move.
