How to Choose the Right Energy Provider for Your

Needs

∗ Now that consumers have a

choice about where their

power comes from, you will

need to find the right

provider.

∗ There are several things to

keep in mind as you look for

a reliable, affordable energy

source.

∗ This guide will help you make

the right decisions about your

energy usage.

Know Your Options

∗ Many people don’t even realize they have the option to choose an alternative provider for energy.

∗ Deregulation of energy industries means that you may have dozens of different energy providers to choose from.

∗ If you live in Texas, you have the right to choose a provider that offers you competitive pricing and transparent billing procedures.

Understand What You Currently Pay

∗ The key to finding a better

electricity provider is finding a

lower rate.

∗ Make sure you know how

much you currently pay per

KWh so you can compare

prices. Prices can range from

8 cents to 25 cents, so

switching can save hundreds

of dollars.

∗ Find out when your current

energy contract expires so

you can prepare to make a

switch.

Fixed Rate or Variable Rate?

∗ You will be able to choose

from fixed-rate and variable

terms.

∗ Fixed rates lock you in at a

set price, so you can have

some predictability about how

much your monthly bills will

be.

∗ Variable rates allow you to

take advantage of price

drops, though you will also be

at the mercy of the market if

prices spike.

Compare Electricity Rates in Texas

∗ Comparing rates and terms for each provider on your own can be time-consuming and frustrating.

∗ Using a reputable price comparison site will save you time and show you all available options.

∗ Once you compare energy rates in your area and find the right provider, take the steps necessary to switch. You will see immediate savings on your monthly bills.
