Why It’s Important to Compare Killeen Electricity Providers
You may assume that it doesn’t matter who you choose for electricity. From the standpoint of reliability of service, this is true. All power is delivered through the same infrastructure and same powerlines regardless of who you choose as your electric company.
But there is one area where your choice of provider makes a big difference – Price! Electricity rates can vary widely from provider to provider and city to city. One company may have the best rate in Killeen, while someone else has the best rate in another city.
The difference can be a lot more than you think. We constantly monitor the market and maintain a real time list of electricity providers along with the plans and rates they offer in each city. It is not uncommon to find that the highest rate in the list is twice as high as the lowest rate in the list.
This means that you could find yourself paying twice as much for electricity as you should be paying! That’s real money.
Why Do Most Electric Companies in Killeen Run Credit Checks?
The electricity provider you pay your bill to is not the company that produces the power you consume. Electricity is produced by companies that own and operate power plants and wind turbines.
Your electric company must buy this power from the producers in order to resell it to you. When someone fails to pay their light bill, the electric company is still on the hook to pay the producers for that power.
Because of this, electricity companies pay a lot of attention to reducing the rates of default among their customers. Performing a credit check allows them to determine whether they want to ask for a deposit before enrolling someone in an electricity plan.

Nicknamed K-Town, Killeen is the 20th most populous city in Texas. Its population is about 145,500 people, and according to recent statistics, Killeen ranks high on places to live in the U.S. It boasts a lower unemployment rate than the rest of the country, and also, the cost of living is around 17% cheaper than the average. This is due to housing and lower groceries overall. And cheap house prices in conjunction with an increasing home appreciation rate, makes Killeen rank even higher.
The city is home to Fort Hood, which supplies a lot of resources and growth to the Killeen economy. The Army fort is by far the largest employer of the city of Killeen. The Killeen ISD, Central Texas College, and the MetroPlex Hospital are next in line for the biggest employers; but the total Fort Hood employees vastly outnumber the rest–which shows the importance of the establishment for the community.
Elvis Presley was stationed at Fort Hood during some of the time he spent in the service. And another famous past resident of Killeen is Burt Reynolds.
For education, 90% of citizens from Killeen have graduated high school, and about 15% have obtained an undergraduate degree or higher.

Where Does Killeen Get Its Cheap Electricity?
Killeen gets its electricity from the ERCOT grid. ERCOT is the grid that provides power to most of the state of Texas. Texas is unique in that it has its own self-contained grid apart from the other two main girds that serve the rest of the continental United State.
Natural gas is the largest single source of electricity for the grid that provides power to Killeen. Cheap natural gas has directly translated to cheap electricity in Texas over the past decade. Natural gas generally burns cleaner than coal and has dropped in price substantially due to new drilling techniques.
Texas has a healthy market for green energy. West Texas wind turbines provide power all the way to Killeen. Consumers can now choose from a large number of green energy plans that offer 100% renewable sources of electricity.
Why Does Every Electricity Plan Have an EFL?
The language used to market electricity plans in Texas can be fuzzy. But the EFL (Electricity Facts Label) exists to spell out in detail exactly what the rates and fees associated with an electricity plan are.
For the most part, electricity providers in Texas are free to innovate by creating electricity plans with many different pricing structures. The EFL is a standardized document that allows consumers to compare electricity plans in a like format.
Items that can be found in EFLs include:
- Average electricity rates for 500, 1000, and 2000 kWhs
- TDU passthrough fees
- Flat fees
- Per kWh costs
- Cancellation Fees
- Contract Length
- Percentage of renewable energy included with the plan
- Descriptive language to explain how electricity rates for the plan are calculated
For every plan listed on Vault Electricity, you will find a link to it’s EFL. Often the advertised rates don’t tell the whole story of what your actual costs may be. It is always a good idea to give the EFL a read before you decide to enroll in a plan.
