Disconnection Suspensions

The PUCT reinforced that each utility may choose to suspend disconnection for non-payment at their discretion. You can view the hearing here.
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric has suspended disconnections for non-payment (DNPs). Visit the official CenterPoint Energy website for more information.
Oncor and TNMP said they would work with other utilities, retail electric providers, the Commission, and state and local authorities to develop a longer-term plan for handling DNPs during this State of Disaster. For more information, visit the Oncor and TNMP websites.

Are you moving in Texas and need to transfer electricity service?
Compare Power makes it easy to transfer your electricity service with confidence and no hassle.
You see all of your electricity options clearly and can choose the best plan for your new home in minutes. No more overpaying or hidden fees.
Better yet, we’ll walk you through the process and get you the right plan for your new home.
TL;DR: Texas law allows you to switch your electricity plan without penalty or getting charged a cancellation fee when you move. Compare Power helps you compare plans, choose the best one for your new home, and set up your new service.
Choose a New Electricity Plan
Moving changes your energy usage, making it the perfect time to reassess your electricity plan.
In Texas, you can switch your electricity plan without penalty or getting charged a cancellation fee any time you move, allowing you to choose the best plan for your new home.
This unique opportunity can save you money and ensure your new plan works perfectly for your new home.
For example, your energy usage is likely to increase if you’re moving from a small apartment to a larger house. But, if you’re downsizing, you might not need as much energy.
By reassessing your plan when you move, you can choose a plan that fits your new energy usage patterns, potentially saving you money on your electricity bills.
It was great! They helped me transfer with no deposit and have lights same day.
– Kaylah B.
Should you transfer your electricity service?
If you are moving into a new home within the same service area and are satisfied with your existing electricity plan, contact your electricity company to explore transferring the plan and contract to your new home.
A word of caution before you blindly transfer your energy plan.
Some electricity plans have different discounts, fees, and pricing tiers that may or may not apply each month, depending on your kWh usage.
No two homes use the same amount of energy. Unless your new home uses the same electricity monthly as your previous home, your old plan may not be ideal.
Ending Your Existing Contract
You can cancel your existing service with one phone call.
Contact your existing electricity company and let them know you are moving and need to cancel service and shut down your electricity account.
You will need your electricity account number, the current address with the expected move-out date, and the future address.
Be diligent – Providers often encourage you to stay with your existing plan and transfer your service instead.
Some may even tell you you must stay if you are still in a service area covered by your plan.
You can politely remind them that Texas law allows you to disconnect with no termination fee when moving.
That should be all it takes, but they may request you provide proof of your move – a small price to pay for the option of getting out of a bad contract you aren’t happy with.
The Power is Yours: Take Advantage of Your Ability to Choose
Texas operates on a deregulated electricity market, giving you the power to choose your electricity provider. This system was established in 2002 to increase provider competition and give consumers more options.

I tried Griddy – Here’s my review
Update: Griddy Energy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 15, 2021. In August of 2021, Griddy settled the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas to wipe clean the debts of customers. Griddy Energy is no longer open for business.
If you’re reading this review, odds are you’re curious about all this Griddy wholesale energy rate stuff…
…or maybe you’re a current Griddy customer who is fed up with the Griddy electricity model and alerts and are shopping around in hopes of finding a better energy provider.
If either of these describes you, read on.
If you’re curious about Griddy or want to know how to pick the best energy plan for your home, keep reading. I will show you how I switched to a predictable, fixed-rate plan in this post.
Here at ComparePower, we are consumer advocates at our core.
We live in Texas.
Employees here make it a point to personally try out the different providers in Texas so that we can share our experience with our fellow Texans and help you make an informed energy choice for your home or business.
With this mission in mind, I gave Griddy a try myself. Here is my personal experience.
Does Griddy really save you money?
Here’s what I learned.
I know what you’re asking yourself. Is Griddy right for me, and will it save me money?
The answer is it depends…more on that later. For now, I’d like to share my personal experience with Griddy in hopes that it can guide you in making the best decision for your household.
I started using Griddy midway through September 2019. With the summer months coming to an end and cooler days ahead, I did not anticipate a significant demand on the grid.
I reasoned that perhaps it might be possible to save some money by purchasing electricity in real time from the Griddy app.
So I downloaded the app, which they’ve done an excellent job with. And after adding $49 to my account, I was on my way to purchasing wholesale electricity directly from the grid.
In case you do not know, Griddy is a prepaid electric service. You must always keep a positive balance in your account, or your power will be turned off.
If you’re not used to pre-paying for your power and would rather pay at the end of the month for the kWh you use, Griddy is not for you.
If this is you, my suggestion is to stop reading, enter your zip code, and shop for a traditional, predictable, fixed-rate plan.
Now back to my experience with Griddy. Everything was going smoothly for about a day.
Much to my surprise, the very next day, I received an alarming notification from Griddy.
Wholesale electricity prices had climbed to over 50 cents/kWh,andI should not worry.
I should not worry? How could I not? Was this a joke?
My heart sank to the pit of my stomach at the thought of what my electricity bill would be that day, and admittedly I immediately felt silly for having made the switch to Griddy.
To add insult to injury, I couldn’t believe I was actually paying Griddy $9.99 a month for this.
In the middle of my workday, I started thinking about the appliances being powered in my home, from the washer and dryer to the refrigerator and, most importantly, my air conditioner, which was set to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
My mind raced as I tried to calculate how much running these appliances would cost me at a rate of 50 cents/kWh.
Being that I was at work, I could not drop everything I was doing to run home and turn my appliances off, which Griddy recommends.
Most people I know do not have the flexibility to put down their work in the middle of the day and run home so they can power down their appliances whenever an alert shows up on their mobile phones.
To put this in perspective, before I switched to Griddy, I was paying, on average, just under 7 cents/kWh for 1000 kWh of monthly usage.
Griddy was now costing me over seven times more than my traditional fixed-rate plan that I had found on ComparePower.
Projected prices on Griddy’s app ranged from 10 cents/kWh at noon to $1 per kWh by 4 pm the same day. See the screenshot I took personally from my phone:
Griddy – Projected Prices on September 25, 2019.
I then noticed an email from Griddy in my inbox. I dropped everything I was doing to read it.
“High Price Warning Today, 2-6 pm. A hotter than a normal day, coupled with potential generation outages, could lead to electricity prices as high as $4/kWh.”
What followed was a list of instructions on how I should have read the future and ramped down my energy usage between 1 and 6 pm to avoid high costs.
The only way to avoid high costs and overpaying for power was to leave work and run home to power down my electronics.
I don’t know about you (or the employment hours at the Griddy offices), but where I work, employees are required to be present from 9 am – 6 pm, Monday to Friday.
Telling my boss that I needed to run home to power down my appliances was not an option.
In case you don’t believe me, I took a screenshot of the email I received on September 25th, 2019, from Griddy and attached it below:
Griddy Energy – High Price Warning
Now back to the original question. Can Griddy save you money?
If you can run home in the middle of the day and power down all your appliances and electronics, Griddy may be a reasonable option.
However, even if you have the flexibility to do so, is this how you want to spend your day? Constantly worried and paranoid about how much your electric bill will be hour after agonizing hour?
I constantly checked the electricity rate instead of focusing on what was important and what I had to accomplish during my day.
If you do not mind constantly checking the electricity rate on your phone, and even if you have the flexibility to run home and power off your appliances, you may not get the best deal with Griddy. Here is why.
Griddy states that the average rate their customers pay is 8.8 cents/kWh, and the Texas average rate is 15.60 ¢/kWh, saving you money.
This average is based on a statistic from the EIA.gov website.
I work here at ComparePower, and we switch thousands of Texans every month.
In fact, there are fixed-rate plans for Texas residents on ComparePower with rates as low as$0.12 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for 1000 kWh.
How does Griddy Energy work?
Like everyone else, the idea of being able to purchase electricity at wholesale prices seemed appealing to me.
For those that don’t know how Griddy works. For a monthly fee of $9.99, Griddy connects its members, via a mobile app, directly to the real-time wholesale energy market so that, in theory, they pay the same variable prices that retail energy providers and commercial consumers pay in real-time.
That, however, is not entirely accurate. Most traditional electricity providers offering fixed rate prices buy forward contracts at different times of the year, not in real-time as Griddy does.
Since these traditional providers can buy electricity at a fixed price for delivery throughout the year, they can offer fixed-price contracts to their residential customers without the worry of hourly fluctuations in rates and the burning desire to run home in response to a push-notification alert to turn off that light you left on.
The primary benefit of choosing a fixed-term electricity plan is consistency and predictability.
The wholesale price of electricity changes approximately every 5 minutes, making it nearly impossible to predict how much you will pay from one moment to the next.
Griddy provides a projection for electricity prices for the entire day so you can plan ahead. Still, in my personal experience, the projections were less than accurate, at times as much as a 70 cents/kWh difference between the projected and actual price.
Conclusion: Key facts and takeaways
I really wanted to like Griddy.
It just wasn’t for me. The stress I experienced in response to the random influx of emails and push alerts warning of price spikes on the horizon drove me crazy.
Buying electricity at wholesale prices is unique, but it is highly unpredictable.
You will need to evaluate your electricity and lifestyle needs to make the best decision for your home.
I switched from Griddy to a predictable fixed-rate plan that I found on ComparePower.
I am now paying 6.7 cents / kWh for 1000 kWh of energy each month, which is about what I use monthly.
I no longer look at my phone or fret over electricity price alerts. That peace of mind alone, to me, is priceless.
Oh, and I am no longer paying Griddy $9.99 a month for the luxury of using their app and exposing me to this unnecessary stress.
I switched providers for free here at ComparePower in under 5 minutes and enjoy low electricity prices with zero hassle. I can honestly say my life is so much simpler because of it.
Ahhh… the sweet relief of consistency and predictability.
If you are currently with Griddy, I recommend making the switch. It will be the best 5 minutes you will spend today.

Ever found yourself in the dark, literally, wondering how long it takes to reconnect electric service?
If you’re nodding along, you’re in the right place. We’re about to shed some light on the process of reconnecting electricity in Texas.
Stick around, and you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap to power up your home without breaking a sweat.
TLDR: To get your power back on in Texas, focus on these three key steps:
Clear any outstanding bills with your Retail Electric Provider (REP).
Understand your rights as a consumer in the Texas electricity market.
Use ComparePower to compare plans, and choose the best plan for your needs.
The Power Disconnect Dilemma
We’ve all been there. Maybe you missed a payment, or perhaps you’re moving into a new home.
Suddenly, you’re faced with the daunting task of reconnecting your electricity. The good news
It’s not as complicated as it seems, especially when you have ComparePower on your side.
We understand the stress and inconvenience that comes with a power disconnect. That’s why we’re committed to making the reconnection process as smooth and straightforward as possible.
Understanding the Texas Electricity Market
Before we dive in, let’s get to grips with the Texas electricity market. It’s deregulated, which means you can choose your electricity provider.
Sounds great, right? But with choice comes decision-making, and that’s where ComparePower steps in.
We simplify the process of selecting the best plan for your needs. Our platform provides a comprehensive comparison of rates and plans helping you make an informed decision.
We also offer expert advice and tips to help you navigate the Texas electricity market.
Clearing the Path to Reconnect Electric Service
The first step to reconnecting your electricity is clearing any outstanding bills.
Most REPs aim to restore service within 48 hours after payment. But remember, each provider has its own set of procedures.
What if I can’t pay my bill?
Your electricity company has to warn you ten days before they turn off your electricity.
The letter they send will also tell you if you can pay your bill in smaller parts and what will happen if you don’t pay by the date they wrote in the letter.
If paying the full balance upfront is not an option, consider setting up a payment plan with your current provider or switching to a new provider with more flexible payment options through ComparePower.
If you don’t pay your bill by the date in the letter, your electricity might be turned off the next day, unless it’s a weekend or holiday.
Understanding Your Rights as a Consumer
In Texas, you’re not just a consumer; you have rights. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) provides protections for electricity consumers, including rules around disconnection notices and deferred payment plans.
Firstly, your REP must provide you with a disconnection notice before cutting off your service. This notice gives you the opportunity to settle any outstanding bills or disputes.
If you’re facing financial hardship, you may also have the right to set up a deferred payment plan with your REP.
Secondly, the PUC mandates that REPs cannot disconnect your service during extreme weather events when temperatures are below freezing or exceedingly high.
This is to ensure your safety and well-being.
Thirdly, if you’re a critical care customer or have a serious medical condition that requires electric service, you have additional protections. You can apply for a designation that prevents your service from being disconnected.
Disconnection Rules
In Texas, your agreement with a REP is a legally binding contract. If you miss a payment or violate other terms, the provider may disconnect your service.
However, there are specific rules and conditions under which a customer’s electricity service can be disconnected:
When can my electric service be disconnected in Texas?
After proper notice, your electricity service may be turned off if: – You don’t pay your electric bill on time or make a plan to pay what you owe. – You don’t stick to the payment plan you made with your REP. – You use electricity in an unsafe manner. – You don’t pay the deposit your REP asked for.
REPs may disconnect service without notice: – In case of an immediate safety issue. – The service is unauthorized or hooked up without a contract. – Equipment like the power company’s meter has been tampered with.
You cannot be disconnected for the following reasons: – If a previous resident of your home did not pay their electric bill. – Not paying charges unrelated to electric service. – Charges are in dispute until the REP wins the dispute. – When there is a mistake on your bill. – If you were underbilled for a service rendered over six months ago. – If the National Weather Service says there is bad weather coming. – Failure to pay an estimated bill other than a meter-reading plan bill.
Please note that disconnection rules for customers with serious illnesses or disabilities, customers enrolled in energy assistance programs, and residents of master-metered apartments may differ.

The risk of wholesale electricity prices
As temperatures in the state climbed to 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39 Celsius), ERCOT issued an emergency alert, asking Texans to conserve energy and calling on all power plants to ramp up production.
When demand goes up, so does the price! Real-time consumers are at risk during a price surge such as this one.
Playing the wholesale market is a massive gamble as the wholesale price of electricity fluctuates wildly based on many factors, including weather, maintenance issues, and the time of day, leaving consumers vulnerable when prices skyrocket during peak conditions.
The bottom line is when you need electricity the most, you pay the highest price.
People prefer predictability and stability in their energy choice.
The best way to have a predictable energy bill is to lock in a fixed rate and not gamble by guessing what the wholesale price of electricity will be in the future.
ComparePower lets you find and compare low fixed-rate plans from multiple Texas electricity providers, ensuring you are getting the best rate possible for your contract term.

The #1 most important thing: Know your usage!
The key to avoiding overpaying is knowing your expected usage and comparing monthly costs for each plan based on that usage amount.
With things like gasoline, the “price per gallon” you see on the sign is the price you pay no matter how many gallons you pump.
$3 per gallon. Pump 10 gallons, and pay $30. Simple.
Electricity in Texas is not as simple as buying gasoline. The advertised “price per kWh” is based on a specific, exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).
And each plan has a different calculation for determining your monthly bill.
Your effective “price per kWh” can only be determined by calculating your monthly bill, then dividing that monthly bill by your usage.
Advertised “price per kWh” can be misleading because it’s based on a specific usage like 2000 kWh. It’s best to shop based on the total bill for your home’s expected usage.
How do you do that when the math is complicated, and every plan differs?
ComparePower has already done all this complicated math for you.
First, we help you determine your expected monthly kWh usage. Then we show you the plans and their total monthly cost for your usage.

Common Questions About Switching
Switching electric companies in Texas? You likely have questions. From understanding contract terms to exploring renewable options, we’ve gathered the most common inquiries to guide you through the process. Here’s everything you need to know to make an informed switch.
Is it safe to switch electricity companies?
You might wonder, is switching electric companies safe? The answer is yes. The Public Utility Commission of Texas regulates the process of protecting your rights. Plus, there’s no interruption in service when you switch.
What happens if I don’t switch electricity providers?
If you don’t switch at the end of your contract, your current company will transfer you to a holdover rate. Holdover rates are variable and change each month. They are usually expensive, and you could face a high bill before you know it.
How long does it take to switch electric companies?
Depending on the provider, the switch usually takes a few days to a week. Service is not interrupted during the transition.
Will I need new equipment or wiring when I switch?
Switching providers don’t require changes to your home’s wiring or equipment. The transition is handled electronically.
Can I switch back to my old provider if I’m not satisfied?
Yes, you have three days to switch back without penalty. Beyond that timeframe, you have to be mindful of contract terms, early termination fees, or waiting periods that may apply.
How can I avoid early termination fees when switching?
You can avoid early termination fees by switching within 14 days of your contract’s end date or by choosing a plan without such fees.
Do I need to notify my current provider when I switch?
No, your new provider will handle the transition, including notifying your current provider.
What if I’m moving to a new address in Texas?
If you’re moving, you can choose a new provider for your new address.
How do I know if a plan’s rate is a good deal?
Compare the plan’s rate with your historical usage, consider additional fees, and compare it to other available plans using tools like ComparePower.
Can I switch providers if I have a prepaid or month-to-month plan?
Yes, prepaid and month-to-month plans typically allow you to switch providers at any time without penalties.
What happens if I switch providers and then my rates increase?
If you have a fixed-rate plan, your rate won’t change during the contract term. If you have a variable-rate plan, rates may fluctuate. Understanding the plan’s terms can help you anticipate potential changes.

Hey there, Texas!
Are you scratching your head comparing fixed-rate vs. variable-rate electricity plans?
You’re not alone. It’s a common dilemma for many of us. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each plan, how market conditions can impact variable rates, and how to choose the best plan for your needs.
TLDR: Fixed-rate plans offer stability with a set rate for the duration of your contract, while variable-rate plans offer flexibility with rates that change based on market conditions. Your choice depends on your risk tolerance and desire for predictability.
What is a Fixed-Rate Electricity Plan?
A fixed-rate electricity plan locks in your rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the duration of your contract, which can range from 3 to 36 months.
This means your rate won’t change, even if market prices fluctuate.
It’s like having a safety net for your electricity bills, especially during those scorching Texas summers or chilly winters when electricity demand can spike.
Pros and Cons of Fixed-Rate Electricity
The major advantage of a fixed-rate plan is predictability. You know exactly what your rate will be each month, making budgeting a breeze.
However, if market prices drop, you won’t benefit from the lower rates until your contract ends. And if you want to switch plans, you’ll probably be stuck with an Early Termination Fee (ETF).
How Do Fixed-Rate Energy Bills Work?
With a fixed-rate plan, your energy bill is calculated by multiplying your fixed rate per kWh by the electricity you’ve used plus any additional fees or charges.
This means that while your rate per kWh remains the same, your total bill can vary based on your usage.
If you use more electricity in a month, your bill will be higher. If you use less, your bill will be lower.
What is a Variable-Rate Electricity Plan?
On the flip side, variable-rate electricity plans offer flexibility.
But your rate can change from month to month based on market conditions.
These conditions can be influenced by weather, demand, and the price energy providers pay to buy electricity from power generators.
Pros and Cons of Variable-Rate Electricity
Variable-rate plans can offer cheaper electricity when the supply is abundant, such as during mild weather when demand is low.
However, during high-demand periods, the cost per kWh can increase significantly. This unpredictability can make budgeting more challenging.
Impact of Market Conditions on Variable Electricity Rates
Market conditions play a significant role in variable electricity rates. Factors like weather, demand, and energy providers’ costs can cause rates to fluctuate.
For instance, electricity demand can skyrocket during a hot Texas summer, leading to higher rates.
Fixed or Variable Electricity Plan: Which is Better?
The choice between fixed and variable rate plans depends on your risk tolerance and desire for stability.
A fixed-rate plan may be your best bet if you prefer predictable bills and protection from market volatility.
If you’re willing to take on some risk for the potential of lower rates during certain times of the year, a variable-rate plan could be a good fit.
How to Choose Between Fixed and Variable Electricity Rates
Consider your energy usage patterns and budget when choosing between fixed and variable rates.
A fixed-rate plan might save you money if your electricity usage is high during peak demand periods. For most Texans, fixed-rate electricity plans make the most sense.
If your usage is lower and you can handle some fluctuation in your bill, a variable-rate plan might be more cost-effective.
What is a Good Fixed Rate for Electricity?
A good fixed rate for electricity can vary based on several factors, including location, contract length, and current market conditions.
It’s always a good idea to compare rates from different providers to ensure you get the best deal.
Enroll today! Fixed-rate plans are as low as $0.12 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on ComparePower.

Fixed-Rate vs. Variable-Rate Electricity FAQs
Variable-rate plans can change with weather and market conditions and are tied to the fluctuating price energy providers pay to buy electricity from power generators.
Variable rates can vary from month to month according to market conditions. There is no guarantee that your rate will stay the same each month, so your bill can change.
Yes, electricity is priced by the kilowatt-hour. Larger homes use more energy than smaller ones. When looking for an electricity rate, you need to know how much electricity you use.

What You Need to Know
What is month-to-month electricity?
Month-to-month electricity is a type of energy plan that doesn’t require a long-term contract.
Instead of committing to a fixed rate for an extended period, you pay for your electricity usage on a month-by-month basis.
This offers flexibility and the freedom to switch providers or plans at any time without incurring early termination fees.
How does month-to-month electricity work?
With a month-to-month plan, your rate can change each billing cycle based on current market conditions. Here’s how it typically works:
1. You sign up for a plan without a long-term contract. 2. Each month, you’re billed based on your usage and the current rate. 3. You have the freedom to switch plans or providers at any time, usually with little to no notice required.
If you’re unhappy with your current rate, you can shop around for a better deal without waiting for a contract to expire.
Is Month-to-Month Electricity More Expensive?
Many people assume that month-to-month plans are always more expensive than long-term contracts.
While it’s true that they can be pricier in some cases, it’s not a hard and fast rule. Here’s what you need to know:
– Variable rates: Month-to-month plans often have variable rates that can fluctuate with market conditions. This means your rate could go up or down from month to month. – Seasonal changes: During peak seasons (like hot Texas summers), rates on month-to-month plans might be higher than fixed-rate plans. – Potential savings: If you’re savvy about switching when rates are favorable, you could potentially save money with a month-to-month plan. – No early termination fees: Even if rates are slightly higher, you avoid the risk of paying hefty early termination fees if you need to cancel a long-term contract.
The key is to stay informed about market trends and be ready to switch when better rates become available.
With ComparePower, you can easily monitor and compare rates to ensure you’re always getting the best deal.

Transitional periods: If you’re between roommates or just had tenants leave your rental, a month-to-month plan could easily cover that transition period until you find stability. Credit concerns: If you’re worried about your credit score affecting your ability to get electricity, month-to-month plans often have more lenient requirements.

Month-to-Month Electricity FAQs
Do month-to-month electricity rates fluctuate?
Yes, month-to-month electricity rates can fluctuate based on market conditions. These plans typically have variable rates that can change from month to month.
While this means your rate could increase during high-demand periods, it also means you could benefit from lower rates when market prices drop.
Is month-to-month electricity the best option for renters?
Month-to-month electricity can be an excellent option for renters, especially those who move frequently or are in short-term living situations.
The flexibility to switch or cancel without penalties aligns well with the often unpredictable nature of renting.
However, if you’re in a stable, long-term rental situation, you might want to compare both month-to-month and fixed-rate plans to see which offers the best value for your specific circumstances.
Who offers the best month-to-month electricity plans?
The “best” plan varies depending on individual needs and usage patterns.
Some top providers in Texas to check out include TXU Energy, Reliant Energy, and Gexa Energy.
Remember, the best way to find the right plan for you is to compare options with the tools right here on Compare Power.
How are variable and fixed rates priced in Texas?
Variable rates energy plans are generally higher than fixed-rate contracts in Texas.
Most Texans choose fixed-rate plans over variable-rate plans as they are more predictable and more manageable to budget.
Variable-rate plans are based on the current market price for electricity, which can fluctuate throughout the year.
A fixed-rate plan reflects the cost of electricity over 12 months, but the rates may be higher or lower than variable rates, depending on the time of the year.

Are you moving into a new 2-bedroom apartment in Texas?
Or perhaps your current electricity contract is about to end, and you’re considering whether to renew or switch providers?
Either way, you’re likely wondering about 2-bedroom apartment electricity and how to get the best rate.
Look no further! This comprehensive guide from ComparePower is designed to help you understand and navigate electricity costs in Texas, ensuring you make the most informed decision for your energy needs.
TL;DR: Most 2-bedroom apartments will use between 500 and 1500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in a month. To find the best electricity plan for your apartment, we recommend you shop with your usage or try out our kWh Calculator to get an estimate of your usage.
Understanding Your Electricity Bill: The Basics
Electricity bills can be confusing, especially when you’re trying to figure out the average kWh usage for a 2-bedroom apartment.
But don’t worry, we’re here to help. Understanding your electricity bill is the first step toward making an informed decision about your energy provider.
Your electricity bill is divided into two main parts: the energy charge and the delivery charge.
The energy charge is based on the amount of electricity you use, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The delivery charge covers the cost of delivering electricity to your home and maintaining the electric grid.
How many kWh does a 2-bedroom apartment use?
The average kWh usage for a 2-bedroom apartment can vary based on several factors. These include the number of residents, the types of appliances you use, and even the weather.
For instance, a 2-bedroom apartment with two residents might use more electricity than a similar apartment with just one resident.
This is because more residents typically mean more usage of lights, appliances, and electronics.
The average 2-bedroom apartment can use between 500 kWh and 1000 kWh of energy per month, and a large 2-bedroom apartment can use 1000 kWh to 1500 kWh.
The types of appliances you use can also have a significant impact on your electricity usage. For example, energy-efficient appliances can use less electricity than older, less efficient models.
Finally, the weather can play a big role in your electricity usage. If you live in a part of Texas with hot summers, you might use a lot of electricity for air conditioning.
On the other hand, if you live in a cooler part of the state, you might use more electricity for heating.
Factors Influencing Your Electricity Bill
From the number of people living in your apartment to the type of appliances you use, several factors can affect your electricity bill.
Understanding these factors can help you manage your energy consumption and potentially save on your monthly bills.
For instance, you can reduce your electricity usage by using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, turning off lights and electronics when they’re not in use, and adjusting your thermostat to use less heating or air conditioning.
Electricity Shopping Considerations
Choosing an electricity plan is more than just finding the lowest rate. It’s about finding a plan that fits your lifestyle, your budget, and your energy usage patterns. Here are some key considerations when shopping for a Texas electricity plan:
Rate Structure: Electricity plans can have fixed rates, where the price per kWh doesn’t change for the duration of the contract, or variable rates, where the price can change based on market conditions. Consider which type of rate structure suits your budget and usage patterns.
Contract Length: Plans can range from month-to-month contracts to multi-year agreements. If you’re not planning to move soon, a longer contract might offer lower rates. But if you need flexibility, a month-to-month plan might be a better fit.
Renewable Energy Options: If you’re environmentally conscious, you might want to considera plan that includes renewable energy. Some Texas electricity providers offer plans that are partially or fully sourced from renewable energy.
Fees: Be sure to read the fine print for any additional fees, such as early termination fees or minimum usage fees. These can add to your costs and might make a seemingly cheap plan more expensive.
Remember, ComparePower is here to help you navigate these considerations.
Our platform makes it easy to compare different plans and providers, helping you find the best fit for your needs.

How can I find the best electricity rate for my apartment in Texas?

Prices and costs of energy can vary depending on usage. It is essential to consider how much energy you use each month when determining the best price for your apartment.
Apartments use less energy than large houses, so you should find an energy plan tailored for homes with lower energy consumption.

Shopping Considerations
Once you’re familiar with the steps, let’s dive into some shopping considerations to help you make an informed decision:
Same-day service: Do you need power today? Most providers’ cut-off for a same-day connection is 2 p.m. See which providers can connect electricity service today.
Satisfaction Guarantee: It’s natural to worry about making the wrong choice. That’s why we recommend starting with a plan that offers a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re unhappy with your choice, you can always change it!
Usage Credits: Consider opting for a plan without usage credits initially. While these can lead to substantial savings, they require a consistent usage pattern to be effective. This could be a gamble without clearly understanding your home’s usage history.
Fixed-Rate Energy Plans: Fixed-rate energy plans are popular in Texas as they provide budgeting stability and protect you from extreme weather conditions. However, if market prices fall, you may be stuck at a higher rate until your contract expires.
Term Lengths: Choose a contract term length that suits your needs. In Texas, you can cancel your electricity contract when you move out of a residence, so don’t worry if you move before your contract ends.
Early Termination Fees: Be aware that early termination fees may apply to some fixed-rate plans with long-term contracts. Always read the contract carefully!
Deposits: Some plans may require a deposit. Just remember that there is always a no-deposit option available.
With these steps and considerations, you can quickly get new electricity service for your new home.

Why are there different prices for different usage levels?
The electricity rate is the total cost divided by the energy you use. It’s how you’re charged for electricity in Texas, which can vary depending on your monthly usage. Unlike gas, where you pay the same per gallon no matter how much you use, electricity costs can change. So, knowing your monthly energy use is key when choosing a new energy plan in Texas.
