• Watch out for Fuel Surcharges. A fuel surcharge is when a provider offers a fixed electric rate but the pricing terms of service says the rate can change if fuel prices go up. The catch is that fuel prices frequently go up. Isn’t this a variable rate? We think so!
• Keep an eye out for the TDSP charges not included in the advertised electricity price. If the price is several cents cheaper then most electric companies in Carrollton, it might be because the company is not including the TDSP charges.
• Does the electric company offer a fixed electric rate or a variable rate with a price ceiling? Some providers offer a low variable electricity price but on the 2nd month bill the rate goes up arbitrarily.
• TXU and Reliant Energy are well known brand names but as of 2009 their electric rates are several cents higher then the cheapest available provider in the chart above.
• Don’t just go with established brands like TXU and Reliant. They have been bought and sold a few times. Reliant is now owned by a company based in New Jersey called NRG Energy and TXU was bought out by two private equity companies.
• Keep the Texas economy strong and sign up with one of the discount local Texas based electric companies above. The rate is cheaper and you are supporting the local Texas economy.
