How to find the best energy plan in Alice

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of electricity you will use month-to-month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Alice. Why does this matter?

The rate you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you use in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to pick your power provider.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing rates by total monthly cost, is the best way to shop for the best rate for your home.

Even better, if you have an entire year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method takes into account the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to determine the perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in just moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and navigating you step-by-step to the electricity rate plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges and fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.

We then help you in signing up with your chosen electricity company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before choosing the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12-months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that you will use in any given month.

Although knowing the previous 12-months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

Use Compare Power to shop for the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Alice: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Alice, to get the best rate you need to get the previous 12-months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous home-owner to provide you with their past 12-months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12-months, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you can’t obtain usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or to possibly switch plans.

Switching electricity companies in Alice

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity company will normally raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly higher than the plan you signed up.

Before renewing your contract make sure to shop the rates of competing energy providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

When you make the switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything for you including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Alice is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days early of your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you are unsure email us your latest energy bill and one of our team members will get back to you promptly with your best options.

If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the truly cheapest rate.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch, and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Alice was founded in 1888 as a railroad town by the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway, named after Alice Gertrudis King Kleberg, daughter of the legendary King Ranch founder Richard King. The town served as a crucial shipping point for cattle and agricultural products from the massive King Ranch, which at over 825,000 acres remains one of the largest ranches in the world.

RECENT

In 2019, Alice completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed several blocks of historic Main Street into a vibrant cultural district. The $8.5 million investment brought new murals, improved streetscaping, and attracted several new restaurants and shops, helping reverse decades of economic decline in the city center.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Alice is the birthplace of Tejano music legend Freddy Fender, born Baldemar Huerta in 1937, who became famous for hits like 'Before the Next Teardrop Falls' and 'Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.' Fender was one of the first Latino artists to achieve mainstream success in both country and pop music, paving the way for future crossover artists.

DID YOU KNOW

Alice is home to the world's largest mesquite tree, officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, with a canopy spread of 217 feet and a trunk circumference of over 20 feet. The ancient tree, estimated to be over 1,000 years old, sits in a small park downtown and has become a pilgrimage site for botanists and tree enthusiasts from around the globe.

CULTURAL

Alice proudly calls itself the 'Hub City of South Texas' because it sits at the intersection of several major highways connecting major cities like San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and the Rio Grande Valley. The city celebrates this unique position with an annual Hub City Days festival that features live music, barbecue competitions, and a parade that draws visitors from across the region to celebrate South Texas culture.
