Electricity is measured in kilowatt-hours, abbreviated to kWh. This term will appear on your energy bill and on our energy marketplace. The most important portion of your bill is the amount of kWh you consume in a billing cycle.
Around 80% of Texas is deregulated, so if you live in the 20% that is not deregulated, you will have to purchase electricity from your utility company. Otherwise, electricity providers in deregulated areas are independently owned and can choose where to operate. Some providers may not be available in certain cities due to low demand. If your city is recently deregulated, you may have fewer options than larger metros like Houston or Dallas.
Extreme weather, such as heat waves or snow storms, requires people to consume more electricity to stay comfortable. Texas experiences high temperatures in the summer and can get icy in the winter. When electricity consumption skyrockets, utility companies must transport more energy across the grid. This can result in price spikes as utilities struggle to meet the demand. For this reason, most experts recommend fixed-rate plans to protect consumers from high energy costs in summer and winter.
