Why Shop For Electricity Rates in Kilgore

For many Texans, electricity is one of the largest bills they pay.  This is especially true during the long hot Texas summers where air conditioners are running full out.  That makes your electric bill a great place to reduce costs.

At the grocery store, consumers will often compare one product to another looking for a better deal on eggs or soap.  In fact, people will often select a lower quality product because the price is lower.

The great thing about comparison shopping for electricity in Texas is that you will be receiving the exact same product even if you pay less.  Switching providers will not result in an interruption of service or any reduction in reliability.  Regional Transmission Distribution Utilities deliver your electricity regardless of which provider you choose.

The only question is how much you want to pay for your electricity.  We suggest you pat less.  Our recommendation is that you check in on the market often to make sure you aren’t over paying.

Tips for Comparing Electric Companies in Kilgore

The most common mistake made by Texans when shopping for cheaper electricity in Kilgore, it not looking at the correct rates.  For each plan market in Texas you will see three different benchmark rates.  These represent the average electricity rate you should expect from the plan based on how much electricity you typically use.

If you live in a larger home, you should be looking at the 2000 kWh rates.  If you live in an apartment, you should be looking at the 500 kWh rates.  If your home falls somewhere in between, the 1000 kWh rate is probably closer to your usage level.

Some plans look very attractive at 2000 kWhs but turn out to be quite expensive if you use less electricity than that.

One example of how this may happen is with usage credits.  For example, a plan may offer a usage credit that kicks in once you use over 2000 kWhs in a billing cycle.  This would have the effect of lowering your average electricity rate by 1 cent per hour once your usage hits 2000.  But if you use less than that you will not get the benefit of the $20 bill credit.  This will make your average rate higher than someone who uses more than 2000 kWh.

Sources of Kilgore Electricity

Coal was the main source for generating electricity in Texas for a very long.  Today less than 25% of the electricity consumed in Kilgore and throughout Texas comes from coal burning power plants.  And this market share of coal continues to fall due to environmental concerns, regulations and cheaper alternatives.

More than half of all the power Texas electricity providers sell today comes from plants that burning natural gas.  The low cost of natural gas has helped keep energy costs down for the state of Texas over the past decade. Natural gas is cheap and readily available in Texas.   Texas is the largest producer of natural gas in the United States.  Over the past couple of decades, almost every new power plant built in Texas has been natural gas fueled.

Wind energy is another major source of the electricity that powers Kilgore.  Technological advancements have steadily reduced the cost of wind generated electricity. It is now much more competitive on price with more traditional power sources.

Renewable energy plans are now popular in Kilgore and such plans are often as cheap as the traditional alternatives.
