If You Don’t Compare Electricity Rates, You Are Overpaying
If you haven’t looked at offers from other electricity providers recently, you are almost certainly paying more than you should be for power. With more than a dozen reputable electricity providers offering service in Athens TX, the chances that your current provider is offering you the lowest rate available are low.
Competition helps keep prices low for any market. This is just as true for the Texas electricity market. Electricity rates in Texas are constantly on the move. Providers are constantly attempting to undercut each other for position at the top of our list of the cheapest rates. 12 months is the most common plan length. But plans are available for contract lengths between 3 months and 36 months.
Once the term of your plan ends, you should expect that your light company will offer you another 12 month plan. While it’s possible that the rate on this 12 month plan is the lowest rate available from any provider, it’s probably not. That’s why you should compare this offer to other offers currently listed on Vault Electricity and choose the plan that works for you.
If you decided not to sign up for a new plan with your current provider, they will gladly keep you on with month to month pricing. This would be a mistake for you. You will almost surely be paying more than you should.
