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.

How can I find out how much I expect to use?

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.

How to Choose The Best Electric Provider

Choosing the wrong energy plan without knowing your home’s energy consumption can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Find the best rate for your Texas home by comparing energy plans and electricity rates based on your electricity usage profile.

Shop on ComparePower with your usage and save both time and money.

A few minutes can save you hundreds on your electricity bill.

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 to have the electric providers vetted and compared.

Ross A. (TX, United States)

How usage-based comparison shopping can increase your purchasing power in Texas

Energy companies advertise their most competitive “price per kWh” rates based on monthly consumption (usually 500, 1000, or 2000 kWh). You do not use precisely 500, 1000, or 2000 kWh monthly. Nobody does.

A “price per kWh” advertised by the utility company does not apply to every household because they use different amounts of energy.

Unlike fuel prices, the “price per gallon” applies to every gallon. The price per gallon stays the same whether you purchase 1 or 10. 

With electricity, this is not the case. Each plan uses a different formula to calculate your monthly electricity bill. The math is complex.

For every plan, ComparePower has already completed the math for you. We calculate each plan’s total monthly energy costs based on your estimated monthly energy consumption.

You can select your expected average usage when viewing plans on ComparePower or enter your monthly usage history for the last 12 months to determine how much each plan would have cost you over the past year.

Therefore, you can be confident that you are not signing up for a low advertised rate but rather a rate based on the specific usage selected. That is empowering.

Electricity Companies FAQ

Who is the best electricity provider in Texas?

The best electricity provider in Texas can offer you the lowest rate based on the specific energy usage of your home.

Over 60 electricity providers operate in Texas, and there isn’t much difference between them.

In Texas, power companies buy electricity wholesale, sell it at retail, and bill customers for usage at the month’s end. That’s it.

The electric company you choose in Texas will not affect the reliability of your electricity, as it is the electric utility company that provides electrons to your home or business.

Thus, your best electricity provider will be the one who offers you the lowest rate based on your home’s kWh usage profile.

Compare energy plans and electricity rates based on your home’s electricity usage to reduce confusion.
