    Why Compare Electricity Rates?

    Who you should compare electricity rates

    Most people, especially ones who move to Texas from out of state or from regulated energy markets are not aware that they have the power to choose their electric provider.

    Electricity companies are there to make a profit, and they will use different methods to charge you more. They use difficult-to-understand pricing tiers and terminology that is now known to the average consumer.

    It’s extremely difficult and time-consuming to find the absolute best price without using a sophisticated comparison service like SlashPlan has to offer.

    Let me present you with a common scenario that we see all the time:

    Assuming you narrowed down your search to 2 energy companies (Company A & Company B) that both advertise a price of 10¢ per Kilowatt Hour (kWh). Most people would look at it and think that the prices are identical, therefore their monthly bill would be identical too. Wrong!

    Most of the prices that are advertised by the energy companies are Tiered Prices. So you will only pay the advertised rate if your monthly usage falls under that specific tier. Going back to our scenario, it would look something like this:

    Company A offers the advertised rate when your monthly usage is ABOVE 2000 kWh.

    Company B offers this price when your monthly usage is UNDER 1000 kWh.

    If we go back and repeat the same question. Who offers a better rate? The truth is, you can’t determine that without looking at a few other parameters… Your bill price will be determined by various parameters such as monthly usage, base charges, usage credits, discounts, time of usage, and more… Calculating your final monthly bill would not be possible without taking all of the above parameters into account.

    That’s where SlashPlan comes in to help!

    SlashPlan takes the guesswork out of finding the cheapest energy plan

    We show you the actual, all-inclusive prices that you can expect to pay on your bill. No hidden charges or surprises!

    The final price is really what matters. To make sure you’re really getting a good deal, you need to be able to see the final monthly estimated price, including all fees and credits.

    We’ve put all this information at your figure tips.

    With our comparison service, you can finally sort and filter plans to match your specific criteria. The best options will show on top of the list by default.

    The rates we display on SlashPlan are the rates you’ll actually experience on your bill, inclusive of all hidden fees. We make sure that you’re not misled by the cheaper rates often advertised by electric providers… those advertised rates are associated with higher usage levels that many households never enjoy because their usage level never reaches that pricing tier.

    SlashPlan has your best interest in our heart, and when shopping for energy, we are loyal to you. We act on your behalf to level the playing field and let the electric providers fight and compete to earn your business.

    We supply you with all the info that you need in order to make the best purchasing decision. We only show rates from well-respected and reputable energy companies that you can rely on.

    Are you not moving and still want to switch? Did you know that that by switching to a new provider at the end of your contract you can save hundreds of dollars every year? Lock-in a low rate today!

    How To Find A Reliable Power Company in Oakland?

    Most consumers are not aware that in Deregulated Energy markets, the energy companies that sell you power are not in charge of servicing and maintaining your electricity infrastructure. That job is done by a utility company (also known as TDSP).

    Sounds odd, right?

    In order for energy prices to stay low and competitive, law-makers in Texas decided to eliminate monopolies by not allowing the TDSP’s to sell energy directly to the end-users.

    That’s how the market operates. The energy companies sell you electricity at competitive prices, and the utility companies deliver that energy to your home or business.

    For any issues with blackouts, power outages, or the electric meter, you will need to contact the utility company directly.

    There are 5 main utility companies in Texas. Determine which utility company services your area.

    Why should I care about this anyway?

    This means that the electricity that you receive to your home or business is literally all the same. Regardless of which company sells it to you. There is only 1 utility company that services your address, and they are the only company that delivers electricity to you.

    So what are the differences between all the other energy providers?

    The main differences are that they offer different plans, structures, and prices.

    Some companies focus on Green Energy, while other focus on offering No-Deposit, or Short Term Variable plans.

    If prices are the same, then the main differences that you should pay attention to are the provider’s customer service, early cancellation policy, and ease of communication.

    When you choose an electric plan through SlashPlan you can be confident that you will be working with a quality energy provider. We vet the providers that we work with and only display companies that have a postivie proven track record and a high customer satisfaction score.

    What Information Do I Need To Provide When Signing-Up?

    It’s important to remember that SlashPlan is not your electricity provider. We created a marketplace that allows you to instantly compare and sign-up (or switch) your electricity service.

    Most people prefer a streamlined online enrollment, if you feel uncomfortable submitting your information online you can also enroll over the phone.

    • Full Name
    • Service Address
    • Billing Address
    • Social Security Number or Driver’s License Number (to determine if a deposit is required)
    • Requested service start date
