Another Electricity Question Thread…Opinions Appreciated

Welp…here we go again. My contract is about to expire mid-May and shopping around as we speak.

F*ck me. This is absolutely out of control.

As of today – my best options are as follows:

• 60 months @ 12.3cents/kWh (don't want to commit to 5 years)
• 36 months @ 12.5cents/kWh (don't really want to commit to 3 years either)
• 24 months @ 13.6cents/kWh (maybe I'd sign for 2 years?)
• 18 months @ 14.4cents/kWh
• 12 months @ 14.7cents/kWh
• 9 months @ 16.1cents/kWh
• 6 months @ 17cents/kWh
• 3 months @ 12cents/kWh

Question to my fellow Houston redditors – what would you do here? 3 months sounds good but then I'd be renewing again in August which would probably be even worse.

I've read the move is to try to time your renewals in the winter, so maybe I bite the bullet and just pay out the ass with the 6 or 9 month plan and renew in the late fall or winter and hope for better rates then? Or just commit to a 12-24 month plan and just get used to my electricity bill being almost f*cking 50% more than what I'm currently paying (9.4cents/kWh)?

Any thoughts or opinions are greatly appreciated.
