Read a fact label in 60 seconds
Every Texas plan has an Electricity Facts Label. It's dull on purpose.
Short answerCheck four spots: the price at your usage, the base charge, bill credits and the exit fee.
The four spots
- Price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh. The price changes with usage. Look at the one closest to your real months.
- Base charge. A flat monthly fee. You pay it even in a light month.
- Bill credits. Money off, but only inside a usage range. Read the range.
- Early exit fee. What leaving early costs.
Then check
- How long the contract is.
- Fixed or variable.
- What happens when it ends.
Static's takeRead the label, not the billboard.
