Electric co. in Round Rock
Hi all,
just moved to Round Rock and it seems there are multiple electric companies to choose from. Anyone have any insight / experience with the best ones based on rates, longevity, service, etc. My realtor warned me there are a lot of companies out there and some newer companies have been going under so I would hate to get stuck without electricity.

I haven't heard anything about companies going under and going without electricity. My plan pretty much has been to go with the cheapest company at the time for a locked in rate, then at the end of the time period, switch to the cheapest company at that time and lock in. I honestly am unaware of anyone losing electricity if a company goes under because that company technically isn't even providing the electricity to you - they pretty much are a broker. I believe TXU provides electricity to all of Round Rock, but you don't specifically have to be a TXU customer.
I used StarTex Energy for the first year at my house and recently switched to YEP Energy as my current provider. Both are pretty much unknown companies but have been perfectly fine. There is no need to go with a big boy unless the price fits because everything is state regulated anyway. There are TONS of companies to choose from, you pretty much have to find the best prices. www.powertochoose.org will provide all of the current rates for all of the available companies out there.

I have Reliant Energy's 24-month OneRate Secure Plan and I pay 12.5 cents/kWh, but I signed up about a year ago.
To sign up today for the same plan, I think it's 13.6 cents/kWh.

I switched from TXU to Reliant a couple months ago. Received a flier in the mail from Reliant offering me 12.1 cents / KWh locked for 2 years and 11.7 cents / KWh for the first 2 months of that time. TXU called me after I switched and the rep didn't even try to get me to come back after I told her the rate I was getting.

I have TXU and mine is 13.08 kwh- that's still now low but I wonder how come they are charging you more.

Great post. I am paying almost 350 a month for TXU. Good to know there are other options.
