Looking for the best price on electricity - Houston

I need to choose another one also....i was looking at powertochoose.com and Amigo Energy had about the best deal.

Actually just looked...Some company called Summer Energy has best rate 9.2/8.9/8.8 for fixed 12 months.

Amigo is 11.4/9.1/9

I am currently with DirectEnergy

Does the company really matter when it comes to electricity? I don't see why it would, right?

I honestly don't think it does, but not sure, I've always had pretty well known companies (TXU, Reliant, Direct) but I might have to consider Summer. Our house rarely uses over 1000kw, except during summer.

Signed up for direct yesterday w/ 8.8 for 12. Some internet special with edelivery and autopay required.

---

You actually only get the 8.8 if you use over 2000kwh

your rates are 11.4/9.0/8.8

We haven't even come close to using 2000kwh in our house. New home very energy efficient. Think the most we've used is 1500 in a 3300sq ft house.

Did you have a promo code for summer energy? I can't find that plan you mentioned on their website.

Thanks. Tried that and it say for 6 months only.

I'm on hold waiting to talk to a csr.

ETA: all signed up and ready to save a few cent/kwh.

while I do have to use 2000 kwh, my wife has that on lock-down.

Wow, I don't I've gone over 1500 once, even with 12 extra people living with us over Christmas.

No because the retail providers don't own the power lines. Those are separate outfits. If your power goes out you call the number on the bill which goes to the power line company, not to your provider.
