Energy providers are retail companies that can choose where to sell their energy plans, so certain plans may not be available in your city. This could be due to low demand or the provider’s lack of presence in your area. Some cities in Texas are newer to deregulation than others and may have fewer options than larger metropolitan areas like Houston or Dallas.
Energy usage typically goes up in response to the weather. Texans are especially familiar with this since summers are hot and humid, requiring constant air conditioning to stay cool. Similarly, winters can be cold, prompting homes and businesses to use more heating. If your electricity bill is higher in summer and winter, it’s likely because you use more energy to stay comfortable during extreme temperatures. You’ll find lower electricity rates during milder seasons like spring and fall, so we recommend shopping for a new plan during these times.
