How to Compare Electricity Plans in Texas
Comparing electricity plans in Texas is easy when you use the right tools. Like ElectricityPlans.com, where our BillSmart™ Low Bill Finder, BillSmart Calculator, BillSmart Plan Score and CostCurve™ show you what you’ll pay before you sign up. The advertised rate at 1000 kWh is not the rate you’ll actually pay. It’s important to shop by usage, to see your effective rate. Only than can you be sure that a plan is right for you.
Here are the basic steps to compare electricity plans:
- Enter your zip code on a comparison shopping site like ElectricityPlans.com
- Enter your average usage to see plans based on effective rate.
- Select up to three plans to compare side by side
- Check the effective rate and estimated bills to find the cheapest rate for your home.
- Click or call to enroll.
We recommend basic fixed rate electricity plans as the best choice for most consumers.
Pro Tip: Moving in to a new home? Estimate your annual usage based on 6.48 kWh/square foot, which is the average power usage for Texas homes. Then divide by 12 to get your monthly average. Check our move center for more information.
