Fort Worth energy FAQs
Thanks to deregulation, there are a variety of competitive energy plans in Fort Worth with options to suit every household’s needs. While you might prefer a 100% green plan, someone else might be focused on finding the cheapest electric company. Our marketplace lets you compare dozens of plans to find the one best suited for you.
Finding a green energy plan is easy. Start by entering your ZIP code on SaveOnEnergy and selecting the “green energy” filter. On the results page, you can explore plans from green providers in your area (such as Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy).
With a few small habit changes, you can save energy and potentially reduce your energy bills. For example, you can run your HVAC system less often, wash your clothes in cold water, and unplug unused appliances and electronics. You can also track your electricity usage to figure out where to cut back further. If your budget allows, consider installing energy-efficient appliances as well. Switching energy providers may also help you lock in a lower rate.
You can follow the formulas in SaveOnEnergy’s electricity consumption guide to estimate your typical energy usage. Alternatively, you can check a handful of your recent utility bills to understand how much power you consume on a monthly basis.
Weather conditions influence energy demand because when temperatures are extremely hot or cold, consumers require more electricity to run their HVAC systems. Increased demand often leads to higher electricity rates. However, when the weather is more moderate, energy demand generally eases up and leads to lower rates.
