This plan has the lowest price and comes from a retail electricity provider offering superior online account management functionality.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the cheapest 2,000 kWh plan in Houston?<\/h3>\n<p>Each <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates\/texas\/houston'>Texas electricity bill<\/a> for the Select Choice 12 plan includes a monthly energy charge plus tiered energy charges. A customer is charged only one of these monthly charges in any given month:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Usage up to 500 kWh &#8211; $55<\/li>\n<li>Usage from 501 kWh up to 1,999 kWh &#8211; $120<\/li>\n<li>Usage more than 1999 kWh &#8211; $86<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-efl'>tiered Houston electricity<\/a>\u00a0rates have been around for long, long time, it\u2019s easy to get confused. As their electricity consumption increases, customers are assessed the price for their tier of usage. Depending on a customer\u2019s usage, all three of these tiered charges can appear on the customer\u2019s monthly bill:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Usage of 0 to 1,000 kWh &#8211; $0.00 per kWh<\/li>\n<li>Usage of 1,000 to 2,000 kWh &#8211; $0.10 per kWh<\/li>\n<li>Usage of 2,001 and above &#8211; $0.219 per kWh<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you do a little math, you can see the sweet spot for this plan is at 2,000 kWh. The base charge is relatively low, and the highest tiered charge hasn\u2019t kicked in.<\/p>\n<h3>Take control of your electric bill.<\/h3>\n<p>First Choice Power gives customers ample online account management features including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>View plan information<\/li>\n<li>Transfer service<\/li>\n<li>Pay bills<\/li>\n<li>Set up automated payments<\/li>\n<li>View past bills and payments<\/li>\n<li>Monitor energy usage<\/li>\n<li>Refer a friend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Their referral program makes it easy to earn bill credits when your friends sign up for electricity service. You can invite friends by email, social media, or special URL. No matter how you share it, you and your friend each get a $25 bill credit when your friend signs up.<\/p>\n<h3>Compare Houston power plans<\/h3>\n<p>If the Select Choice 12 plan isn\u2019t right for you, First Choice Power offers prepaid plans, no deposit plans, month-to-month electricity, and fixed rate plans.<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/'>Texas Electricity Ratings<\/a> has even more plans from a wide variety of Houston retail electricity providers.
