It's been about 3 years since I've had to mess with choosing an electric plan and the process seems to have gotten a lot more complicated with trying to figure out fees, surcharges, terms and conditions. Has anyone recently renewed or switched their plans? Who do you have and recommend? I'm currently with Discount Power and near as I can tell if I stay with them my rates will increase from roughly 8.2 cents/kWh to about 11.7 cents/kWh. Looking at the Power to Choose website has me all kinds of confused when reading the fact sheets on how they calculate your bill. Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

We were Breeze until the state shut them down last month. Sure like that less than 9 cents a KwH, no tiers. Guess that's why they went bankrupt.

Energy Ogre put us with Think energy. The average is less than .10 a KwH.

Even the PUC says powertochoose is so complicated and misleading as to be useless these days.

I use Electric Plans Made Easy - Texas Power Guide instead of powertochoose. You enter the last 12 months usage from your meter and it tells you which plan is best for you at the time. Rates have really gone up.

Thank you all! I signed up with Energy Ogre so thank you so much for the suggestion. It appears my rates are probably going to be going up no matter what, unfortunately. Hopefully it won't be too terrible. Now is not a good time for increased bills with our income drop.

Elnina - I'm sorry! I usually do check the past threads before posting but for some reason I didn't this time. I know I've seen this topic discussed before quite a few times. Again my apologies.
