How to find the best energy plan in Breckenridge
#1 rule: Know Your Usage!
Knowing how much energy you will use in a month is the ideal way to shop for power in Breckenridge. Why does this matter?
The rate you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).
Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you consume in each month.
Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you enrolled.
Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for power plan.
Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipate monthly usage, then comparing rates by total monthly bill, is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.
Even better, if you have an entire year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method takes into account the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to find the ideal energy plan for your home.
ComparePower does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in just seconds.
We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and navigate you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your household’s usage.
We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees and charges, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.
We then assist you in signing-up with your selected power company without leaving our website.
The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the best electricity plan for your home.
If you don’t know your usage, estimate
If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12-months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that you will use in any given month.
While not as optimal as having all previous 12-months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly picking the first plan you see advertised by an energy company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.
Use ComparePower to shop for the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Switching electricity companies in Breckenridge
Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.
Your existing electricity company will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly more than the plan you signed up.
Before renewing your contract make sure to shop the rates of competing electricity providers.
Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your energy bill.
Switching is easy:
- You don’t have to call your current company to cancel (no “break-up call”)
- No one comes to your home
- There is no disruption in your electricity supply
- It takes just minutes
When you decide to switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you including canceling service with your previous provider.
Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Breckenridge is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.
The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.
You can pick any date up to 14 days early of your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” penalty. Texas law protects you here.
If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers up to 6o days in advance.
And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.
If you are unsure email us your latest energy bill and one of our team members will respond to you promptly with your best options.
If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the truly cheapest price.
