Tips for Comparing Texarkana Electricity Providers

There are a handful of things that make one Texarkana electricity provider different from the next. Here are a few:

Electricity Rate – Rate is the most important reason to compare electricity providers. Electricity rates in Texarkana change a lot. Even within the same electric company, rates can be substantially different from one plan to the next. The savvy consumer will find a low rate plan from a trusted company and lock that rate in with at least a 12 month contract.
Cancelation Fees – Expect any energy plan with a specific term length such as 12 or 24 months to have a cancelation fee. These will differ from one provider to the next.
Billing Options – Sometimes you can get a better rate if you choose a plan that feature autopayment.
Green Energy – Most providers offer at least one plan that features 100% renewable energy sources. In Texas, this mostly means wind power.
Term Length – There are different contract lengths available in the market. They can range from 3 to 36 months with 12 month contracts being the most common length. 12 months is a term makes sense for most consumers. ‘ No contract’ or month-to-month plans are also available from most, if not all, electric providers. These tend to be at much higher rates than longer term contracts, however.
Credit Requirements – Different companies have different credit requirements. Some are tougher than others. If your credit history doesn’t meet this threshold, you may be asked to pay a deposit.

Who Delivers the Texarkana Electricity?

The electricity provider you choose primarily effects two things: your electricity rate and the name on your bill. Nothing else changes about the way you get your electricity. A lot of people don’t realize that retail electricity providers in Texas don’t deliver the electricity they sell.

Companies called transmission and distribution utilities (TDUs) are tasked with delivering electricity within certain areas of Texas. Within the DFW area, for example, Oncor is the utility. Within the Houston area the TDU is Centerpoint.

The TDUs not only deliver the power but they maintain the electricity lines for your area. If your power goes out you will call Oncor, whatever TDU serves for your area.

This takes reliability of service out of the picture when you are selecting an electric company. This allows you to focus on finding the cheapest rate.
