Featured Electricity Rates In Watauga, Texas

While all of this is great for the people who live in Watauga, it can sometimes be a bit much when it comes to deciding on a provider.

Where Does the Watauga Electricity Come From?

Texas is best known for its oil industry, but natural gas is the fuel source that powers more electricity in Watauga than any other source. In fact, no other state produces more natural gas than Texas. More than 25% of the country’s proven natural gas reserve are found in Texas.

With so much natural gas in shale formations throughout the state made more easily available with modern extraction techniques, natural gas is the preferred source of fuel to power Texas power plants. Other sources of Watauga electricity include coal, nuclear, wind, solar, and geothermal.

Texas produces more wind power than any other state by a large margin. A recent multibillion dollar infrastructure project built high capacity power lines to send this power from the western part of Texas where most of the wind turbines are installed to Watauga and other parts of the state.

If renewable energy is important for you, there are several 100% green energy plans available to choose from in Texas.

Keep an Eye on the Early Termination Fees of the Electricity Plans

By clearly listing the cheapest electricity rates in Watauga, we have made shopping for electricity plans very easy for you. In addition to listing the cheap electricity rates, we have noted the amount of the Early Termination Fees (ETFs) for each electric plan.

Although the ETFs are rarely a deciding factor when shopping for electricity plans in Watauga, they still should be considered. Early Termination Fees are hardly ever charged in most situations, but they can come into play when someone tries to game the system in order to take advantage of falling electricity rates.

As long as you keep your electricity plan active until the termination date has been reached, you will not have to pay an ETF. Likewise, the fees are usually waived if you move to a new residence – even if the electricity contract end date has not been reached. This waiving of the fee varies by electricity provider, so make sure you have read the Energy Facts Label of the electricity plan you are interested in if you think you may be relocating soon.
