Texas Electric Rate Prices

Texas electric rates have been going up lately because of the energy market making historical highs. Natural Gas, Oil, and now Texas electricity are all going up and many have no idea why. Sometimes the concern is that the Texas energy market and the retail providers are price gouging.

The Honest Truth On Texas Energy

The truth is that price gouging is not an option in Texas because there are just too many electric companies competing in the state for an agreement to be made between electric companies on an inflated price. The competition is fierce enough that if one provider where to inflate rates many other energy companies would price lower to bring in additional electric customers.

Power To Choose Website Comparison

The Power To Choose website created by the Texas government has had its ups and downs. At one point they removed the comparison chart because the data provider was favoring some Texas electric providers over others. The site was updated recently with a good unbiased data structure to show several different electric companies side by side with their different rate plans.

Variable and Fixed Electric Rates

When picking an electric provider the choice is usually brought down to whether you want to get into a variable electric rate or a fixed electric rate. A fixed electric rate is the smarter choice and most popular because you can lock in at the same rate for the monthly term you choose. Many people like to be able to lock in and not have to worry about the rate for an entire year. Other consumers like the ability to time the market. Many believe that March and April represents a mild time in the market to wait to lock in rates. Consumers in Texas will sometimes get on a variable electric rate and wait until this time to lock in. The issue with timing the market is when the weather does the unpredictable and eats up the natural gas supply in the ground like has happened this March and April. Natural Gas powers our electric generation plants in Texas. We had unexpected snow and cold weather in March and has caused natural gas futures contracts in March and April as well as other forward months to be exceptionally high. Many people who waited to time the market have been scared into locking in to an energy rate at the very top of the market. Texas electric rates are higher then they have ever been and we can only speculate as to when they might come down.

Sorting Providers From Cheapest to Most Expensive

If you would like to compare Texas electric providers from cheapest to most expensive their is a helpful resource available on Electricity Bid that sorts texas electric companies from the cheapest to the most expensive. The type of energy product is listed so you know if you are signing up on a fixed electric rate or a variable electric rate. Keep in mind that variable electric rates will have a first month rate that is much cheaper then they will be on the 2nd 3rd, and future months.
