Electricity Providers

Might be a good time to check out to see what electricity is going for. I just changed carriers for 7.8 cents kWh with a year contract in the Houston area. My contract last year was at .11

Wow. Really? I changed just a couple of months ago for 9.3 cents/2 years. I was at 15 cents with Reliant for almost a year, and they weren't interested in helping me. Bye-bye.

Keep in mind that there are certain fees that all providers in an area are required to charge. Sometimes power companies don't include these charges in their rate quotes, and sometimes they do. If they do, then the more power you use, the less those fees affect your final bill.

I pay about 8.6 cents/kWh through Champion Electric on a 1-year fixed rate contract, before fees. With the fees, at my usual level of usage, I pay about 9.2 cents/kWh.
