Tips for Comparing Electric Companies in Friendswood

One of the things that makes it harder to compare Friendswood electricity providers is the complex ways in which plans are priced.  When you mix together monthly fixed fees with per kWh fees with usage credits and penalties based on usage levels you end up with a plan whose average rate can swing substantially depending on how much power you use.

The required discloser documents that go along with all electricity plans sold in Texas contain the average electricity rates based on a home that uses 500 kWh per month in electricity, or 1000 kWh or 2000 kWh.  Every plan has three different published average rates.

Electric companies like to structure plans to have their best average rate at a certain usage level while anyone who enrolls in the plan but uses less or more electricity than that may have a much higher average rate.

If you live in a house that uses closer to 1000 kWh per month for electricity on average, you should be looking at the 1000 kWh rates, not the 2000 kWh rates.

When you compare commercial electricity rates, they will be quoted differently.  They will not include the TDU fees.
