Richardson Energy Rates

Compare Richardson electricity rates from top energy companies

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 Richardson 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. 

Richardson commercial electricity 

Richardson 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 Richardson 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. 

1. Instead of the old fashioned brokerage system we use technology to digest hundreds of thousands of electric rates to find trends to connect you to the lowest rate. 
2. We’re a tech company not a sales company. That’s right we don’t employ a single sales person. We believe that giving people transparency and the best possible deal is more important than trying to hard sell you into an energy plan - even if it means we lose money.

The United States Department of Energy recently funded the University of Texas at Dallas in Richardson $3 million to develop a floating turbine design with a vertical axis wind turbine. It will be designed for use in deep water environments to generate offshore wind power using a hierarchical control co-design framework to overcome common issues associated with offshore wind power. This will allow the design to operate on a smaller floating platform which reduces operation and maintenance costs due to easier access to the drivetrain. Overall, this project could substantially reduce the costs of operating offshore wind energy farms throughout the United States.
