Houston electricity rates may have increased over the past year but it\u2019s no sweat when you shop for better rates with your power to choose! <\/center><\/p><\/div>\n

How have Houston electricity rates<\/a> changed this year?<\/h2>\n

It seems like the prices always go up. Whether it\u2019s gasoline, groceries, or utilities, it feel like every company wants more money for its products. Looking at Houston electricity rates over the last year, it\u2019s clear the cost to power your home has increased.<\/p>\n

Last July, Texas Electricity Ratings<\/a> compared the best 12-month electricity plans for CenterPoint Houston. At that time, Gexa Energy<\/a> had the best price for large homes at 7.0 cents per kWh. Their best 12-month plan available today is the Gexa Saver Premium 12 with a rate of 9.9 cents per kWh. If you dig deeper into the information on Texas Electricity Ratings, you find similar stories for other companies.<\/p>\n

A power plan for all year<\/h3>\n

The Gexa Saver Premium 12 plan locks in your electricity rate for a full year. The biggest draw for high usage customers is the $100 bill credit they receive once their usage reaches 2,000 kWh in a billing cycle. This has a dramatic effect on the average per kWh rate, so make sure your Houston home uses at least 2,000 kWh in a month. Knowing your home\u2019s past usage is critical information for finding the right power plan.<\/p>\n

Summer electric bills can be staggering. The Gexa Energy budget billing program allows you to smooth out your payments over the course of a year. You pay your average bill, so summer months and winter months have relatively equal impact on your family budget.<\/p>\n

A Texas summer for the record books<\/h3>\n

Countless news stories say experts expect Texas summer electricity demand<\/a> to be the highest ever. The state\u2019s population has steadily increased over the past few years. Additionally, the state\u2019s production capacity is in a tenuous position with several coal plants closing. These factors combined with predicted high temperatures are expected to test the limits of the Texas electrical grid.<\/p>\n

On the hottest days this summer, energy consumer\u2019s appetite for cheap Texas electricity<\/a> could meet or exceed supply. Aside from the possibility of rolling blackouts, the more immediate concern for many Houston\u2019s power customers on a month-to-month plan is a whopper of an electricity bill.<\/p>\n

Compare Houston electricity plans to save<\/h3>\n

High prices may be inevitable this summer, but that doesn\u2019t mean everyone will pay the same price. Compare plans now to lock in a fixed price before summer. If the Gexa Saver Premium 12 plan isn\u2019t right for your home, shop power plans<\/a> on Texas Electricity Ratings to find one that suits your electricity needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
