With the intense heat of Texas' summers and the recent, unprecedented winter storm, the Texas energy grid has been taxed more and more each year. Therefore, it is more important than ever for you to ensure that you are getting the best rate from your energy plan. If your contract has already expired, your provider is likely subjecting to the monthly fluctuations of market prices. In this case, you could find yourself with an electric bill that charges you thousands of dollars for even just a few days.

Reports show that, as a general trend, residential electricity usage is going up as more and more employees are working remotely. Now is the perfect time to make sure you aren’t paying more than necessary on your energy bills.

Signing up is easy. You can do it in minutes. Plus, there are no complicated forms, no extra fees, and no technicians need to come to your house to make any changes.

There are dozens of energy providers that service Alvin residents. Fortunately, there’s no need to call around to each one to find what rates they will offer you. Even if you’re shopping online from the comfort of your own home, many of these providers’ websites are complicated and lack the information you’re looking for. buy.energy gives you everything you need in one place. Don’t spend extra time trying to track down information from dozens of websites.

Electric rates in Texas change throughout the year depending on the season, demand, and other factors. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) tracks these changes on a monthly basis, shown in the chart below. The EIA’s most recent data is available through August 2020 and lists the average retail rate for electricity in Texas as 11.74 cents per kilowatt hour (¢/kWh).

This chart from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows how average retail Texas electricity rates change on a monthly basis. Texas electricity rates fluctuate throughout the year. With the seasons rates may go up or down. You may be able to lock in a lower rate if you buy at an off-peak time.

Price competition brought about by deregulation means wholesale electricity rates can vary, and any increases in those costs find their way into the retail rates that you pay.

What’s an electricity customer to do? You can make a power rates comparison using the buy.energy marketplace. We make it easy for you so you don’t have to take the time to search several sites to find “cheap electricity rates near me.” Best of all, there’s no cost to you for this service.

Average electric usage levels – you really need to know this before shopping.

Be aware, if you don’t know the average amount of energy your home or business uses on a monthly basis, then you may be paying more than you should on electric costs. The average monthly usage level gives the various providers a starting point in determining what rate they will offer you.

On most power company websites the prices for the highest usage levels are often highlighted since those tend to have the lowest rates. The catch is that the typical household does not consume nearly enough power to qualify for these rates. buy.energy displays all-inclusive pricing from different providers in a standard, easy-to-use platform.

With your specific usage level, you can shop and compare energy plans based on the rates you’ll actually see appear on your bill, inclusive of taxes fees. You won’t be misled by the “teaser rates” tied with higher usage levels that many homes never experience, as their usage level never reaches that pricing tier.

buy.energy is not married to any one provider. Our loyalty is to you, the consumer. We do away with all the misinformation, the hidden fees, and the rates subject to fine print. We provide you with everything you need to know to make the right decision for your energy needs.

Switching electricity companies in Alvin

Because of the constant changes in market conditions, it is necessary to shop for a lower price every time your contract is set to expire—often ever year.

Your current electricity company will typically raise your electricity rate once your contract expires, so it’s not uncommon for them to neglect to inform you when this is about to happen. Many customers only find out that they are out of contract when they receive a bill that is substantially bigger than expected.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity providers. Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

• There’s no need to contact your current company—the switch will be automatic
• No one from the company comes to your home
• There will never be a disruption in service during the change
• The process is fast and easy

When you make the switch, your new provider will cancel service with your previous provider. As long as you are not breaking an existing agreement, there won’t be any charge to you.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Alvin is all delivered by the TNMP Transmission and Distribution Utility. You won’t notice any difference because it will be the exact same electricity coming in through the wires and poles. These stay the same no matter which electricity provider you use.

You can choose any cancellation date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early termination penalty,” according to state law.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 60 days in advance.

Even with months left on your contract, savings on your monthly bill achieved from a switch may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract. However, this will have to be your decision as you weigh the costs. buy.energy will not make the recommendation for you to switch if you are currently in a contract.

If you are uncertain, email us your latest energy bill and one of our team members will respond promptly to help you weigh your options.

You will want to gather the last year’s usage data to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household. This is the best way to find your best plan through buy.energy.

A few things to remember

• Don’t forget to read your plan’s >Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
  • Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
  • The percentage of renewable energy sourcing
  • Early termination fees
• Your Rights As a Customer (YRAC) – All providers are required to inform you of certain rights you have. These are guaranteed to you by law, so it’s always good to be aware of these rights.
• Terms of Service – Each plan has its own Terms of Service. These will contain all the details of what your plan costs, everything you will be expected to do, and everything the provider is obligated to do.
• Know how to read your electricity bill. Utility bills can have a variety of charges, and this can be confusing if you don’t know how to decipher them. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
