Electricity price trends in Baytown

The state legislature deregulated the market for electricity in Texas communities like Baytown in 2002. This policy change means that instead of a single provider, Waco residents choose from competing energy providers.

Deregulation helps consumers like you by encouraging energy providers to compete for your dollars rather than establish cookie-cutter rates. You can take advantage of this competition by using ComparePower to find quotes from up to 100 energy providers. Instead of looking through individual plans, you will see every plan offered by every provider through ComparePower’s search tool.

Average electricity rates in Baytown

Updated January 2023

How to find the best energy plan in Baytown

#1 rule: Know your usage!

The first step in reducing your monthly energy bill is to know how much energy you use each month.

Energy companies don’t adjust their rate quotes to your estimated usage. Instead, they use a standard rate of about 2,000 kWh baseline for all of their quotes.

This works fine if that is your monthly usage but imagine the shocking revelation of a monthly bill based on a higher usage rate.

ComparePower simplifies matters by customizing energy quotes based on your actual usage rather than a baseline rate. Before using the search tool, you only need your zip code and monthly electric usage for the past year.

Once you input this data, ComparePower takes care of the rest. You will see quotes from energy providers serving Baytown that include taxes and additional fees. The site lets you set up your service with a new provider without going to another site. All you need to get started is your last year of energy usage.

Baytown Electricity Rates

If you don’t know your usage, take an educated guess

If you can’t acquire recent usage or are new to your current home, the next best thing is to determine how much energy you will use in an average month.

While not as accurate as having your previous usage, estimating your typical usage is better than choosing a plan that doesn’t match your household’s energy needs.

Use ComparePower to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Ready to find the best plan for your household? Enter your zip code to get started:

Moving to Baytown: Setting up electricity

Baytown acts as a midway point between the hustle and bustle of Houston and the natural habitat of Galveston Bay. Residents can make their way to the city or coastal cities like Galveston by hopping on the freeway.

Baytown Electricity Rates

To save time for these trips, you can reduce time-consuming activities like searching for an energy plan.

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Baytown, you need to get the previous year’s energy usage for your home.

To get previous usage figures, ask the previous homeowner to check their billing statements for exact figures. You will save time and money by trying to piece this information together.

Once you have these numbers, ComparePower can start finding the right plan for your energy needs. If this info isn’t available, you can use an estimate of your monthly usage using the “Help Me Choose” tool. ComparePower reminds you to return and switch your plan at the end of your current contract.

Ready to get started? Enter your zip code below, and we'll guide you to the best energy plan for your new home.

Switching electricity companies in Baytown

Your electrical provider may take the end of your current energy contract as a chance to hike your rates.

This contract bump means that you should search for cheap electrical rates each year to take advantage of industry competition. You may save hundreds of dollars each year by switching accounts.

Baytown Electricity Rates

Switching contracts is easy because your new provider handles everything, including cancellation. As you switch, you don’t need to worry about representatives coming to your home or disrupting your power. The switch only takes minutes, and you could realize savings in the first month.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Baytown is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility rather than your provider.

Here are some details about switching plans:

  • Texas law allows early contract cancellation within 14 days of the contract’s end without penalty.
  • Some plans allow you to arrange your next contract within 60 days of your current contract’s conclusion.
  • You may find a new energy provider with a rate that makes early cancellation worthwhile even if you pay the penalty.
