Yes — most Bronte addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Bronte today is 6.6¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to find the best energy plan in Bronte

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Discovering the amount of energy you will use month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Bronte. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much electricity you consume in the month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to select your power plan.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing options by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

Better yet, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method takes into account the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to discover the ideal electricity rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in just moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and guide you step-by-step to the electricity plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

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

We then help you enroll with your selected electricity company without leaving our service.

The takeaway is that you must understand your expected or historical usage before picking the best energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage, or you’re the owner of a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average 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 find the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Bronte: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Bronte, 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.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, 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 a 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 possibly switch plans.

Switching electricity companies in Bronte

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every year when your contract expires.

Your existing electricity company will typically 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 for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing electricity companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

When you decide to switch, your new energy company will handle everything for you, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Bronte 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 companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early cancellation” penalty. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies 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.

For help with this, you can send us your latest energy bill via email, and one of our professional team members will contact you shortly to discuss your best options.

If you’re ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the cheapest price.

You will want to find your past usage for the last 12 months to determine your household’s best plan with the lowest rate.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Bronte was founded in 1889 and named after Charlotte Brontë, the famous English novelist who wrote 'Jane Eyre.' The town was established as a railroad stop on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway, serving as a shipping point for cattle ranchers in the surrounding Coke County area during the late 1800s cattle boom.

RECENT

In 2018, Bronte completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks and period lighting. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small town's commercial district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Bronte was the childhood home of Robert Lee, who became a prominent Texas politician and served as the 41st Lieutenant Governor of Texas from 1951 to 1961. Lee grew up on a ranch near Bronte and often credited his small-town upbringing for his political values and work ethic throughout his career in state government.

DID YOU KNOW

Bronte is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in West Texas, established in 1902 and still serving customers today. The store still uses its original wooden floors and tin ceiling, and locals joke that you can buy everything from horseshoes to homemade pie, making it a true throwback to frontier commerce.

CULTURAL

Every October, Bronte hosts the annual 'Longhorn Days' festival celebrating the town's cattle ranching heritage with a parade featuring actual longhorn cattle walking down Main Street. The festival includes a chili cook-off, live country music, and a unique 'cow chip throwing contest' that draws visitors from across West Texas to this tiny town of under 1,000 residents.
