HOW TO CHOOSE
Choosing an electric company in Temple.
When looking for your retail electricity provider and choosing an electric plan, there’s a number of factors to keep in mind. You’ll be able to choose a plan that’s best for you if you understand your energy usage and what’s important to you in a provider. Below are a series of tips to help you make the best decision for your household.
1
Assess Your Usage Patterns
Temple's hot summers and mild winters significantly impact electricity consumption. Consider your home size, whether it's a smaller downtown residence or larger suburban property, and review past bills to estimate your monthly kilowatt-hour usage.
2
Filter Through Available Plans
Browse the 87+ plans available and filter by your estimated usage level, preferred contract length, and renewable energy percentage. Different plan types serve different household needs, so narrow options based on your specific consumption patterns.
3
Review the Electricity Facts Label
The EFL reveals the true cost breakdown at different usage levels, including base charges and price per kilowatt-hour. Compare the rates at your expected usage level, not just the advertised rate, to understand actual costs.
4
Check Provider Customer Ratings
Review provider ratings compiled from online reviews and Public Utility Commission complaint data. These ratings, displayed on each plan card, reflect real Temple residents' experiences with billing accuracy, customer service, and issue resolution.
5
Understand All Contract Terms
Examine contract length, early termination fees, renewal policies, and rate guarantees. Know whether your rate is fixed or variable and what happens when your contract period ends to avoid unexpected charges.
6
Complete Your Plan Enrollment
The enrollment system connects directly with plan providers for streamlined signup. Have your service address, move-in date, and basic information ready to finalize your electricity service for your Temple home.
TEXAS ENERGY DEREGULATION
How deregulated energy works
A deregulated energy market is one where customers have the power to choose their electricity provider, rather than being limited to a single utility. In Texas, about 90% of residents have this freedom. This system is designed to encourage competition, leading to better electricity prices and services for consumers. In the deregulated electricity market, retail electric providers (REPs) offer various plans and rates, while utility companies maintain the infrastructure and deliver the electricity.
Retail Electric Providers
In a deregulated market like Texas, you get to choose your retail electric provider. We can help you decide on the right provider and plan.
Utility Companies
Utility companies maintain the infrastructure to deliver your energy and are the same regardless of the energy provider you choose.
