At What Point Should I Renew My Electricity Plan?

Don’t make the mistake of going off contract. If the contract on your current residential electricity plan expires, your provider will gladly keep you on as a customer at a higher rate. You will be transitioned to a monthly plan at a rate that is most likely higher than you before. Don’t find yourself suddenly paying more than you had been for the same electricity.

Our recommendation is to begin shopping for a new plan as much as 60 days before your current contract ends. Usually, you can enroll in a new plan with a start date as much as 60 days in the future.

If you find a rate that is better than what you are already paying you should consider switching providers and enrolling in that plan with a future start date. That allows you to lock in that great price; even if the start date is a couple of months away.

As for commercial electricity plans, you will want to plan even further out if rates have moved up since your current plan started.

What Should I Do if Electricity Rates Have Moved Higher?

Remember, Texas electricity rates go up and down a lot. You may find that electricity rates for every provider have moved higher and all of the rates being offered in by everyone are higher than your current contract. If this happens you can just wait and watch the market until your current plan expiration date is a little closer to see if rates go down.

Keep in mind, though, that if electricity rates for the whole market have moved higher, your rate too will go higher once your current plan expires. In this case you are still better off choosing from the cheapest plan currently available. Otherwise, you could be paying even more once your current plan ends.

Where does Eagle Pass electricity come from?

Electricity in Eagle Pass comes from three primary sources of power; fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewable power consisting mainly of wind power.

Fossil Fuels

Coal – Coal was once the biggest source of power in Texas by a large margin. Today environmental considerations, EPA regulations, and the falling prices of natural gas and wind power have contributed to a decline in coal as a source of electricity in Eagle Pass and the rest of the state.

Natural Gas – Natural gas today is the preferred fuel for power plants that feed the Texas grid and provide power to Eagle Pass. Improvements in fracking techniques have resulted in an profusion of easily available natural gas. Natural gas is also a preferred source of electricity because it is easy to quickly increase up production at a power plant that burns natural gas. This allows grid operators to more easily balance available electricity supply with demand on the grid.

Renewable Power

Wind Energy – Wind power is the biggest source of renewable power in Texas. Most of the state’s wind turbines are in west Texas.

Solar – Solar power is the fastest growing source of renewable energy in Eagle Pass and is expected to increase substantially over the next decade.

Nuclear Power – Nuclear power accounts for less than 5% of the electricity capacity for the state of Texas.
