The Texas legislature approved energy deregulation in 2002 creating the path for competitive energy pricing and market. As a deregulated electricity market, state’s retail energy companies would need to compete - against each other - for the millions of Texas residential and business customers. The goal of a deregulated, or competitive energy market, is to give the power to choose to the consumer – which forced League City electricity providers to be more efficient and lower costs – and offer improved customer service and lower rates to their customers. Going forward, the home and business customers of energy suppliers would have the ability to switch to a new energy provider (at the end of each contract) to maintain the advantage of the deregulated market.
Texas has had a very healthy market in the new era of competition under energy deregulation. Residents and businesses can shop for electricity plans from a wide array of energy suppliers and shop for the best rate available. This means less money in the pockets of energy companies and more for you.
How do you get the best deal on an electricity plan? We analyzed and digested hundreds of thousands of data points from utilities and suppliers and determined the most basic action you can take is to be proactive.
Simply by shopping suppliers and rates 6 months before your plan is set to renew can help you save 20% or more on your energy costs. Furthermore we found that most customers, depending on market conditions and usage, are likely to save by switching electric suppliers every 12 to 24 months.

Each type of home has its unique energy footprint. The size of your home and your energy usage habits will be a big factor in the rate you end up paying.
Here are the best plans for the various types of homes in League City:
League City energy providers offer a variety of rates and plans, catering to diverse needs and preferences. Typically, you'll find that these plans fall into two main categories: fixed-rate and variable-rate.
Fixed-rate plans offer a stable price for the electricity rate over the term of the contract. This rate does not change regardless of weather conditions, natural events, or fluctuations in the market. Common contract lengths for fixed-rate plans are 6, 12, 24, or 36 months. For most customers in League City, we recommend fixed-rate plans due to their predictability and stability, which helps in budgeting household expenses.
On the other hand, variable-rate plans have rates that can change monthly based on market conditions. These plans provide more flexibility as there is usually no long-term contract, but they also introduce more uncertainty in pricing. Your monthly electricity bill may increase significantly with market rates, which can be unpredictable. Due to their inherent volatility, variable-rate plans are generally not recommended unless you are comfortable with the potential for fluctuating monthly costs.
One of the most common questions we get asked is why a certain plan looks much cheaper than other plans. In many cases, this is a bill credit plan. Bill credit plans offer money back on your electricity bill if you hit certain thresholds with your usage.
Sounds great right?
In theory, this would be great, but in most cases, these thresholds do not align with your usage therefore you don't get the credit. So in the end you pay much for for your electricity than anticipated. If you are someone who monitors their energy usage like a hawk and are willing to adjust your lifestyle to match it might be worth it to you. But we advise most people to avoid these plans as much as possible.
League City businesses can find big savings in the Texas energy market with just a little bit of due diligence. Since energy suppliers are forced to be more efficient, and offer business energy plans with competitive energy rates, it’s up to you to compare and find the best plan.
But finding the right plan can be difficult. In Texas, rates change by zip code. And with dozens of commercial energy suppliers, that means sifting through hundreds of plans.
This has made comparing energy plans confusing due to the sheer number of plans available, promotional rates that are not apples-to-apples, and the legal fine print that details fees and penalties.
Commercial energy customers can maintain control over the process by reviewing their monthly usage and average monthly electricity bill.
If your average business electricity bill is less than $500 per month, then you can get a very good energy rate for your business through a simple online comparison of energy rates.
If your average commercial electricity bill is $500 or more per month, then you will most likely get a more competitive energy rate through a custom quote process. The custom process is exactly that – by providing basic business information, energy usage, and submitting a recent electricity bill – EnergyBot can leverage partnerships with suppliers to work on your behalf and secure the best energy rate for your business. Although it will take more time to complete, the custom quote process may deliver a lower energy rate that will add up to big savings for your business.
For League City businesses, researching energy rates and switching to a new electricity plan can be a hassle. EnergyBot is built to make energy simple and help businesses find the best electricity rate quickly and easily.
Along with saving time, EnergyBot also helps businesses cut energy costs by 15% for two reasons.
