How to Find Your Best Rate

Save money on your energy bills in Texas by comparing electricity rates and plans based on your home’s specific energy usage.

Choosing the wrong plan without considering your usage can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

The #1 most important thing to know is your home's energy usage. 

This 2-minute video explains why shopping with your usage is so important ⤵️ 

Very helpful, Compare Power makes switching providers stress-free. I plugged in my kwh usage from this past year & I could’ve been saving tons of money if I would have utilized this site & switched sooner!

Things to consider...

Why is comparing monthly plan cost based on your usage so important?

Electricity companies advertise their best “price per kWh” rates based on an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 or 2000 kWh). But you don’t use exactly 1000 kWh or exactly 2000 kWh. No one does.

This advertised “price per kWh” doesn’t apply the same in different households that use different amounts of energy. It’s not the same as gasoline pricing where the “price per gallon” applies to every gallon.

Buy 1 gallon or 10, it’s all the same price per gallon.

This is simply not the case with electricity. Every plan has a different equation used to calculate your monthly bill. The math is complicated.

At ComparePower, that math has already been done for you for every plan. We show you total monthly energy costs for all the plans based on your expected monthly usage.

This way you can be confident you aren’t signing up for a low advertised rate but instead choose a rate based on costs for your usage. That’s real power.

Terms / Contracts
4 of 5

What contact terms interest you?

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you move out before your fixed-rate contract is up, don’t worry. You will NOT be charged an early termination fee if you cancel your service because you are moving. Texas law!

Things to consider...

Will I be charged a fee if I move out or cancel service before the end of my contract?

Texas law states that in the event of a move out, energy companies cannot charge a contract “early termination fee”.

This enables you to choose any term contract you like without fear of being charged a large fee if you have to move.

If you enter into a contract and switch providers (not move, but switch providers at the same address) more than 14 days early of your contract’s expiration, you will be charged an early termination fee.

So, don’t worry about your lease length or if you have to move. Just be sure to not switch providers before 14 days early of your contract expiration. You can determine you expiration date by calling your provider, or it may be printed on your bill.

How important is “Going Green”?
5 of 5

Green Energy is energy generated from renewable resource like wind and solar.

Things to consider...

What is “Going Green” with energy?

Green Energy, also called Renewable Energy or Renewable Energy Content, is energy generated by Wind, Hydroelectric Dams, Solar Panels, etc.

As opposed to Coal or Nuclear processes, these Green Resources are easily replenished and take less of a toll on Earth’s ecosystem.

How does my choice make an impact?

When you elect to purchase 100% Green Energy the amount of energy your home uses is added back into the Energy Grid by renewable resources only (Wind, Hyrdoelectric, Solar, etc.)

The electricity itself is the same, you are just ensuring that the method used to generate it takes less of a toll on our natural resources.

Usage-based Price Comparisons

When it comes to shopping for electricity plans in Texas, it’s important to understand that the advertised “price per kWh” may not accurately reflect your monthly energy costs.

This is because each plan’s monthly bill is calculated differently and the “price per kWh” can only be determined by dividing your monthly bill by your usage.

To avoid overpaying, it’s crucial to compare plans based on your expected usage, rather than relying on advertised prices.

ComparePower makes this easy by allowing you to compare rates and select a plan that fits your specific usage and budget.

You could save hundreds of dollars each year by switching providers.

Are you approaching the end of your energy plan contract?

Don’t let it expire without exploring your options. In Texas, switching to a new plan is a simple process.

Your new energy provider will handle all the details, including canceling your previous service.

Plus, you won’t have to worry about any disruption to your power during the switch.

Texas Electric Utilities

In Texas, electric utilities are responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity to consumers. They are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and are responsible for maintaining the power grid and ensuring that electricity is delivered safely and reliably to customers.

Call your utility company in case of a power outage. They will handle it and keep you updated on the situation. To report a power outage, visit your utility company’s website.

Deregulation of electricity in Texas

The deregulation of electricity in Texas in 2002, through Senate Bill 7, brought about competition and a choice of energy options for consumers.

This change unbundled the previously monopolized utilities into separate entities focused on energy generation, transmission, and retail customer service and billing.

As a result, multiple retail electricity providers can now market their power to Texas residents.

While the transmission of electricity remains regulated, residents now have the freedom to choose their electricity provider and potentially save on their energy bill through competitive rates.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas

ERCOT, or the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, is a nonprofit organization that manages the flow of electric power to more than 26 million Texas customers, representing about 90% of the state’s electric load.

ERCOT operates the electric grid and manages the deregulated market for electric energy in Texas. It is responsible for balancing the supply and demand of electricity on the grid, ensuring that there is enough power to meet the needs of all customers at all times.

Understanding the deregulation of electricity in Texas can help you make informed decisions about your energy plan.

Why have Texas electricity rates increased?

energy prices skyrocket Texas

The cost of energy is heavily influenced by the cost of natural gas, which is often the main fuel source for power generation. Due to economic factors, the price of natural gas has risen sharply, leading to higher electricity bills for many households. To safeguard yourself against these rising costs, consider switching to a fixed-rate energy plan. With a fixed-rate plan, you can lock in a stable rate and avoid unexpected spikes in your electricity bill.

Why are Texas’ power rates so high?

The recent surge in energy prices can largely be attributed to the significant rise in natural gas prices, which have skyrocketed by over 200% since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This has led to a substantial increase in utility bills for many households, making it difficult for them to manage their finances. To prevent unexpected spikes in your electricity costs, consider signing up for a fixed-rate energy plan.
