Switch the right way
Did you know electricity plans in Texas are priced according to how much energy you use each month?
This is why it is essential to understand your monthly energy consumption when shopping for a new electricity plan in Texas.
To determine the best plan for your home, you need to understand how much energy you use in any given month.
Find your previous month’s energy bills or log into your existing energy company website. Write down how many kilowatt-hours of energy you consumed last year.
It is okay if you do not have all 12 months of usage. Gather as many months as you can find. The more months, the better.
If you can’t find your usage history, you can still compare rates by home size by entering your zip code.
Predictability is power
Some electricity plans have different discounts, fees, and pricing tiers that may or may not apply each month, depending on your usage.

Switch energy providers FAQs
How can I switch providers and save money in Texas?
To determine the best plan for your home, you need to understand how much energy you use in any given month and compare rates with your home’s annual usage profile.
You are likely overpaying for power if you compare energy plans based on the advertised teaser rates.
Find the right electricity provider for your home by using the kilowatt-hour usage of your home on ComparePower and say goodbye to overpaying for electricity in Texas forever.
When is the best time to switch electricity providers in Texas?
Do not let your current electricity contract expire before you switch. When your contract lapses, you’re placed on a variable holdover rate, which can be costly when Texas’s energy demand spikes.
You will receive a renewal notice from your provider, but renewal rates are rarely your best option. Shop the market and compare rates.
Find the best rate for YOUR home’s usage on ComparePower, created to cut through the confusion and provide an accurate apples-to-apples comparison of the most competitive electricity plans from trusted and reliable electricity providers.
