The Hidden Costs Driving Up Your Texas Electricity Bill
When Diane, a hard-working single mom from Houston, opened her electricity bill, she was stunned. Her monthly statement had skyrocketed from $120 to an eye-watering $185 – and she had no idea why. Diane felt frustrated, confused, and worried about how this unexpected expense would impact her tight budget.
Unfortunately, her story is all too common in Texas. Countless residents pay “holdover rates” without even realizing it. In this article, we’ll explain holdover rates, why they exist, and—most importantly—how to protect yourself from falling victim to this costly trap.
Table of Contents
What Are Holdover Rates?
In the Texas electricity market, a holdover rate is a variable rate that your Retail Electricity Provider (REP) automatically applies to your account when your fixed-rate contract ends and you are in electricity limbo (i.e., between contracts).
These rates are inextricably tied to the real-time market price of electricity, which can fluctuate wildly and soar during high demand.
While holdover rates are legal, many Texans find this practice misleading and unfair, taking advantage of their busy lives and limited time.
In the Lone Star State, power generators are paid for the electricity they produce in an energy-only market. You (the consumer) don’t purchase electricity directly from power generators. Instead, you rely on a Retail Electricity Provider as an intermediary.
Your REP is tasked with forecasting demand and purchasing the right amount of electricity in advance, often through fixed-rate contracts, to meet projected needs. When your fixed-rate contract with your REP expires, and you haven’t chosen a new plan, you may unknowingly be placed on a holdover rate.
For REPs, holdover rates safeguard against the uncertainty of not knowing how much electricity to purchase for customers whose contracts have expired. By switching these customers to a variable rate, REPs can adjust their purchases based on actual consumption, minimizing their risk of buying too much or too little power.
However, this risk-mitigation strategy comes at a steep cost for consumers, who are left exposed to the volatile whims of the real-time electricity market.
Your Electricity Plan
If you’ve ever been shocked by a sudden spike in your Texas electricity bill, you might be one of the many Texans who have been switched to a “holdover rate” without realizing it.
So, how can you tell if you’re on a holdover rate? Start by scrutinizing your latest electricity bill or logging into your REP’s online portal. Look for terms like “variable rate” or “month-to-month” in your plan details. Also, look for the contract expiration date. If your contract has expired, you’re likely on a holdover rate.
The good news is that you can take control of your electricity costs and avoid falling victim to holdover rates. To protect yourself from the financial burdens of holdover rates, start by marking your contract expiration date on your calendar and setting a reminder to begin shopping for a new plan at least a month in advance.
As your contract nears its end, dedicate time to researching and comparing plans from various REPs. Utilizing comparison tools, like those offered by ComparePower, can help you find the most competitive plan based on your unique usage patterns.
In Texas, you can switch electricity providers without incurring early termination fees within 14 days of your contract expiration date. Make your switch within this window to avoid being rolled onto a costly holdover rate. Repeat this process annually to ensure you always secure a competitive electric rate for your home.
Stuck in a contract? Schedule a reminder, and we’ll help you find a better plan before your contract expires.

Calculate Costs for Texas Electric Plans
Choosing the right electricity plan can be daunting, especially when comparing different providers and understanding the potential costs based on monthly kWh usage.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step process of manually calculating the cost of any electricity plan in Texas using a spreadsheet.
I’ll explain every thought process and step in detail so you can follow along and calculate the costs confidently, even if you’ve never done this.
TL;DR: Regardless of your chosen method, always analyze each plan individually to ensure an accurate comparison. Manually calculating Texas electricity plan costs using a spreadsheet is the most accurate way to compare plans, but it can be time-consuming and complex. For a quicker and easier way to compare plans based on your actual usage, try ComparePower’s savings calculator.
It’s Your Choice
Comparing electricity plans in Texas can be daunting, especially when trying to make sense of the complex language and calculations found in the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). You have two options:
Option 1: The Long Hard Way Follow the step-by-step guide in this article to manually calculate the cost of each electricity plan using a spreadsheet. This approach requires time, effort, and a keen eye for detail as you navigate the EFL and input the necessary data into your spreadsheet. While this method can help you understand the components that make up your electricity bill, it can be tedious and time-consuming.
Option 2: The Faster, Easy Way Skip the manual calculations and let ComparePower’s savings calculator do the work. Enter your zip code, follow the prompts to enter your usage, and instantly find plans tailored to your unique usage patterns. See each plan’s monthly and annual costs and get the necessary information.
Easily Compare Electric Plans & Rates
Before You Begin
To get started, you’ll need the following information:
The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) of the plan you’re considering
Your monthly kWh usage data for the past 12 months
A spreadsheet application (e.g., Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets)
Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Below is an example of the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) we’ll use throughout this guide. You can find the EFL for the plan you’re considering on the provider’s website or by contacting them directly.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Open up a spreadsheet Google Sheets or Excel, it doesn’t matter. To manually calculate Texas electricity plan costs, basic to intermediate Excel or Google Sheets skills, including entering data, creating formulas with IF statements, and using the SUM function.
Step 2: Set up the column headers a. Open a new spreadsheet and create the following column headers: Month, kWh Usage, Base Charge, Energy Charge, TDU Delivery Charges, Bill Credit, and Total Monthly Cost.
Step 3: Enter the months a. In the “Month” column, enter the names of the months from January to December.
Step 4: Enter the kWh usage data a. Locate your monthly kWh usage data for the past 12 months. b. In the “kWh Usage” column, enter the corresponding usage data for each month.
Step 5: Determine the base charge a. Open the EFL for the plan you’re considering. b. Look for the “Base Charge” or “Customer Charge” in the EFL. In this example, it’s listed as “$9.95 per month.” c. In the “Base Charge” column, enter $9.95 for each month.
Step 6: Calculate the energy charge a. In the EFL, find the “Energy Charge” section. In this example, it’s listed as: 0-1200 kWh: 10.9000¢ per kWh >1200 kWh: 17.8000¢ per kWh b. To calculate the energy charge, we’ll use an IF statement in the spreadsheet: =IF(B2<=1200,B20.109,12000.109+(B2-1200)*0.178) If the usage (B2) is less than or equal to 1200 kWh, multiply the usage by $0.109. If the usage is greater than 1200 kWh, multiply the first 1200 kWh by $0.109 and the remaining kWh (B2-1200) by $0.178, then add the two results together. c. Enter this formula in the “Energy Charge” column for the first month and drag it down to apply it to all months.
Step 7: Obtain the TDU Delivery Charges a. In the EFL, look for the “TDU Delivery Charges” section. b. The EFL states “**For updated TDU delivery charges go to txu.com/tducharges.” Click on this link. c. On the page, find the charges for your specific TDU. In this example, we’re using Oncor. d. Note down the “TDU Delivery Charges per Month” ($4.23) and “TDU Delivery Charges per kWh” ($0.045403).
TDU Delivery Charges (Oncor):
Step 8: Enter the TDU Delivery Charges per Month a. To calculate the TDU Delivery Charges for each month, we’ll use the following formula: =(B2 * $0.045403) + $4.23 Multiply the monthly kWh usage (B2) by the TDU Delivery Charges per kWh ($0.045403) and add the TDU Delivery Charges per Month ($4.23). b. Enter this formula in the “TDU Delivery Charges” column for the first month and drag it down to apply it to all months.
Step 9: Determine the bill credit a. In the EFL, look for any bill credits. In this example, it states “A bill credit of $30 will be applied for each billing cycle in which usage is 800 kWh or more.” b. To calculate the bill credit, use an IF statement: =IF(B2>=800,-30,0) c. Enter this formula in the “Bill Credit” column for the first month and drag it down to apply it to all months.
Step 10: Calculate the total monthly cost a. To calculate the total monthly cost, we’ll add up the base charge, energy charge, and TDU Delivery Charges, then subtract the bill credit: =C2+D2+E2+F2 b. Enter this formula in the “Total Monthly Cost” column for the first month and drag it down to apply it to all months.
Step 11: Calculate the total annual cost a. To calculate the total annual cost, sum up the “Total Monthly Cost” column with this formula: =SUM(G2:G13)
Compare Every Plan This Way
When comparing electricity plans, it’s important to recreate the spreadsheet for every plan you’re considering.
Each plan has its unique pricing structure, discounts, and additional charges, which can significantly impact your total annual cost.
By inputting the specific details of each plan into the spreadsheet, you’ll be able to compare the costs and make an accurate, informed decision.
Don’t rely on general assumptions or limited pricing information from the EFL.
Total Annual Cost
When comparing different electricity plans, consider the total annual cost rather than the monthly expenses.
The total yearly cost considers any discounts or additional charges that may apply in certain months but not others, as your usage will differ monthly in any given year.
Focusing on the annual cost gives you a more accurate picture of each plan’s overall expense.
To compare plans using this spreadsheet method:
Create a separate spreadsheet for each plan you’re considering.
Follow the steps outlined above to calculate the total monthly cost for each plan.
Calculate the total annual cost for each plan by summing up the monthly costs.
Compare the different plans’ total annual costs to determine which offers the most savings based on your usage.
Plans are listed by total yearly cost.
Detailed Pricing Breakdowns
If you’re calling providers directly, asking a representative, or using a shopping site like Power to Choose, be wary if they can’t produce a detailed pricing breakdown for your specific usage patterns.
A reputable provider or comparison marketplace should be able to give you a clear picture of your total monthly and annual costs based on your home’s unique energy consumption.
If they can’t provide this level of detail, it may be a sign that they’re not being fully transparent about their pricing or that they lack the tools to calculate your costs accurately.
Personalized Savings Calculator
In this guide, we’ve discussed manually calculating the cost of an electricity plan in Texas using a spreadsheet.
While this approach gives you a detailed understanding of how your electricity bill is calculated, it can be time-consuming and requires navigating complex language and calculations.

Identifying Your Electricity Needs
The first step in comparing electricity rates is understanding your own needs.
How much electricity do you typically use in a month?
Do you use more during certain times of the day or year?
Understanding your usage patterns can help you identify which plans might be the best fit for you.

Looking Beyond the Price
While the price is certainly an important factor, it’s not the only thing to consider when comparing electricity rates.
Be sure to also look at the contract length, cancellation fees, and any additional perks or incentives offered by the provider.
Remember, the cheapest plan isn’t always the best plan.
Reading the Electricity Facts Label
Every electricity plan in Texas comes with an Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
This document provides important information about the plan, including the price, contract terms, and any additional fees or charges.
Reading the EFL can help you understand exactly what you’re signing up for.
Considering Green Energy Options
If you’re interested in reducing your environmental impact, you might want to consider a green energy plan.
These plans source their electricity from renewable resources like wind and solar.
At ComparePower, we provide information on the green energy content of each plan, making it easy for you to make an eco-friendly choice.

How to Choose Your Electric Provider
As a consumer advocate covering Texas electricity, I’ve witnessed countless struggles to navigate the complex world of retail electricity providers.
In this article, I’ll share my insights on choosing the best electricity provider for your needs and saving money on your annual electricity expenses.
TLDR: In Texas, choose the electricity provider with the best price for your usage. Retail providers don’t affect reliability, so find the cheapest plan that fits your needs.
Table of Contents
More Than Just Billing Companies
First and foremost, it’s important to understand the role of your retail electricity provider.
These companies primarily function as a billing service, purchasing electricity from generators at wholesale prices and reselling it to consumers at retail.
With around 100 retail electric providers in Texas, household names like TXU and Reliant compete for your business alongside smaller retailers, who often compete on price with the lowest rates.
Many Texans are wary of smaller retailers, wrongfully assuming that switching their retailer will affect the reliability of their electric service.
In reality, switching retailers will not impact your service reliability, and spending a few minutes comparing plans based on your home’s kWh usage can save you hundreds on your electric bills.
This is one of the easiest ways to save on your electricity costs in Texas, and it’s what deregulation was designed for – competition.
But you must use the free market and switch providers to realize these savings.

The Key Factor in Choosing a Provider: Price
When selecting the best electricity provider, price should be the primary consideration.
While some companies may tout their eco-friendliness or charitable contributions, your retailer does not determine the quality of your electricity service.
As a consumer, your goal should be to find the provider that offers the most competitive rates for your specific usage profile.
Calculating the True Cost of an Electricity Plan
To find the cheapest plan for your household, calculate the total monthly cost of each plan you’re considering for an entire year.
This process involves using your previous year’s kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage data and the pricing information provided in each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
You can manually calculate the cost of any electric plan using a spreadsheet by inputting your monthly kWh usage data, the plan’s base charge, energy charge, TDU delivery charges, and any applicable bill credits.
Following a step-by-step guide, you can determine each plan’s monthly and annual costs.
While this method is time-consuming, comparing plans based on your specific usage patterns is the most accurate.
As a shortcut, you can save hours using online tools like ComparePower’s savings calculator to compare plans quickly based on your usage.
Enter your zip code and compare plans tailored to your unique needs. Here’s how it works:
Making an Informed Decision
I advise Texas energy consumers to focus on price when choosing an electricity provider.
Be cautious of marketing claims and compare the projected annual costs of various plans based on your specific usage patterns.
Additionally, consider contract terms, cancellation fees, and customer service, as these can impact your overall experience.
Taking the time to understand the role of retail electricity providers, the importance of utility companies in maintaining reliable service, and calculating the actual cost of an electricity plan, you can make an informed decision and potentially save hundreds of dollars on your annual electricity expenses.
How to Choose Provider FAQs
Choosing the right electricity provider can be daunting, especially given the numerous options available in the Texas market. Here are some frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision.
How do I start shopping for an electricity provider in Texas?
Start by understanding your energy needs. Look at your past electricity bills to determine your monthly usage.
Use tools like ComparePower.com’s proprietary usage history tool and kWh calculator to find the best-priced plan for your specific usage pattern.
What should I consider when comparing electricity plans?
Consider factors like price, contract length, renewable energy content, customer reviews, and additional features and benefits.
Remember, the cheapest plan isn’t always the best if it doesn’t suit your usage patterns or values.
What is the difference between fixed-rate and variable-rate plans?
Fixed-rate plans have a set price per kilowatt-hour that remains constant for your contract, providing stability and predictability.
Variable-rate plans can change from month to month based on factors like demand, fuel prices, and weather, offering potential savings when energy prices are low but can be unpredictable.
How do I choose between a fixed-rate and a variable-rate plan?
Consider your risk tolerance and ability to handle fluctuations in your electricity bill. A fixed-rate plan might be the best choice for stability and predictability.
A variable-rate plan could be a good fit if you’re comfortable with some risk and want the potential to save when prices drop.
Are there any green energy options available?
Yes, many Texas electricity providers offer plans that include energy from renewable sources like wind and solar.
Choosing a green energy plan can help reduce your carbon footprint and support the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
Make an Informed Decision
Armed with your usage information, you’re now ready to make an informed decision.
ComparePower lets you compare plans based on your specific usage, ensuring you find the best deal.
Whether you’re switching or starting a new service, we’re here to help you save time, reduce stress, and potentially save hundreds of dollars a year on your energy bills.

Stay Ahead of Rising Prices
Hey there, energy-savvy Texan! Are you wondering when is the best time to switch electricity providers in Texas?
Timing is key to maximizing your savings and avoiding potential price hikes.
In this guide, we’ll explore factors you should consider to help you stay one step ahead of rising prices.
TLDR: The best time to switch electricity providers in Texas depends on various factors, including contract expiration, promotions, usage patterns, and life changes.
Timing your switch to anticipate price increases, particularly before the summer or winter season, can help you secure a better rate.
Stay informed about market trends, carefully review plan details, and switch providers before your contract expires to maximize your savings.
Table of Contents
The Best Time to Switch
The best time to switch electric providers in Texas depends on your specific situation and goals. Here are a few factors to consider:
Contract Expiration: If your current contract is nearing its expiration date, it’s a good time to explore your options and compare electricity plans from different providers. This allows you to take advantage of potential savings and benefits offered by other providers.
Rate Comparison: Regularly comparing electricity rates is a smart practice. Keep an eye on the market and compare the rates offered by various providers. If you find a plan with a significantly lower rate or better terms than your current provider, it might be a favorable time to make the switch.
Promotions and Special Offers: Keep an eye out for promotions and special offers from electricity providers. They often introduce competitive rates or additional perks to attract new customers. When you come across a compelling offer that aligns with your needs, it could be an opportune moment to switch providers.
Change in Usage Patterns: If your energy usage has significantly changed, such as an increase or decrease in consumption, it’s worth considering switching providers. Some providers offer plans tailored to different usage patterns, so finding a plan that aligns with your current energy needs can help optimize your savings.
Life Changes or Moving: Life events such as moving to a new home or a change in personal circumstances can be an ideal time to evaluate your electricity provider options. Take advantage of these moments to review your energy needs and seek out providers that offer plans suitable for your new situation.
Anticipating Price Increases
Timing your switch to anticipate price increases is crucial to securing a better rate. Keep an eye on news and rumors about possible electricity price hikes.
As the summer or winter season approaches, there’s often speculation and buzz surrounding potential increases.
Energy experts and industry insiders may start forecasting higher prices based on factors such as increased demand, fuel costs, or regulatory changes.
By monitoring these indicators, you can gain valuable insights into when prices are likely to rise, signaling the ideal time to switch providers.
Lower Prices in Shoulder Months
Traditionally, the summer and winter periods are characterized by heightened electricity usage due to air conditioning and heating demands.
As a result, energy prices tend to be higher during these peak-demand seasons. Therefore, switching providers just before these periods can be a strategic move to secure a more favorable rate.
By switching during the shoulder months leading up to summer or winter, you can take advantage of lower prices before they surge with increased energy consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time of year is electricity cheapest in Texas?
Electricity demand is lowest in the spring and fall, so electricity usually costs less during these seasons.
Electricity market rates are higher in the summer and winter when people use more electricity for air conditioning and heat.
Rates also go down at night and on weekends, with the lowest rates occurring on Sunday morning between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Off-peak electricity hours in Texas typically fall between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
This is when electricity demand is at its lowest, so utilities can offer cheaper rates to encourage customers to use power during these times.
You can also consider switching Texas electricity providers between December and March/April.
Can I switch electric providers before my contract expires?
Yes, you can switch providers before your contract expires. However, keep in mind that there may be an early termination fee. In Texas, you have up to 14 days prior to your contract expiration date to switch providers without being assessed an early termination fee.
How far in advance can I schedule electric service in Texas?
Most providers offer the option to sign up at a preferred rate and schedule service to begin in 30, 60, or 90 days, but this may vary by provider.
What if I enroll in an odd-number contract like 3 or 9 months?
Enrolling in odd number contracts like 3 or 9 months may seem tempting due to their low rates.
However, it’s important to note that these plans may place your future switch date on a month when electricity demand is high and prices are typically higher.
To avoid potential price spikes, it’s generally recommended to switch providers just before the summer or winter period when prices are more likely to increase.
