Our Review
Direct Energy's Live Brighter Lite 12 is a 1 year fixed-rate plan, that is catered to lower usage customers. While the flat-rate plan is priced fairly across all usage tiers, a monthly recurring charge of $9.95 kicks in if customers use over 1,000 kWh of usage in a month. Honestly, it's not a bad plan, and it's a good option for customers who will never use that much energy in a given month.
