Yes — most Brookesmith 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 Brookesmith today is 6.8¢ 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.

Electricity in Brookesmith, Texas, has been deregulated. As a consumer of energy, you have a choice when it comes to choosing a retail electricity provider (your energy company), which gives you insight and command over your energy bill.

Deregulation of electricity in Texas de-monopolized the energy market for the majority of the state, the city of Brookesmith included, which introduced lots of competition.

As a result, many excellent energy providers compete for your business in Brookesmith by offering low-rates, making it a great time to shop, switch, and save costs on your electricity statement.

How to find the best energy plan in Brookesmith

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Discovering how much electricity you will use each month is the ideal way to find a deal on power in Brookesmith. Why does this matter?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined, 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 an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

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

Calculating your total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing options by total monthly bill, is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Better yet, 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 summer and winter months and is the ideal way to discover the right energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in just seconds.

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

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees and charges, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your bill.

We then help you in ordering your plan with your selected electricity provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should 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 Brookesmith: Setting up Electricity

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

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

Your existing energy provider 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 more than the plan you signed up.

Before renewing your contract make sure to check the rates of competing electricity providers.

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

Switching is easy:

When you make the switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Brookesmith is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver power 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early termination” fee. 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 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 respond 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 best 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

Brookesmith was established in the 1880s as a farming community along the Santa Fe Railroad line, named after early settler William Brooks Smith who donated land for the railroad depot. The town served as a crucial shipping point for cotton and cattle from the surrounding ranches, with the railroad bringing prosperity to this small Brown County settlement during the late 19th century boom.

RECENT

In 2020, Brookesmith made headlines when the tiny community of just 65 residents successfully fought off a proposed industrial wind farm that would have placed massive turbines within 500 feet of homes. The residents organized through social media and county meetings, ultimately convincing Brown County commissioners to reject the project, citing concerns about property values and rural character.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and performer Red Steagall, known for penning hits like 'Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music' and serving as the official Cowboy Poet of Texas, spent part of his childhood in the Brookesmith area. He often credits the rural Brown County landscape and cowboy culture around Brookesmith for inspiring his authentic Western music and poetry that celebrates Texas ranch life.

DID YOU KNOW

Brookesmith is home to one of Texas's most unusual post offices—it operates out of a converted 1950s mobile home that was permanently stationed on Main Street in 1987. The postmaster serves the entire community from this tiny space that's barely 200 square feet, making it one of the smallest official U.S. Post Office locations in the state, complete with original vintage aluminum siding and jalousie windows.

CULTURAL

Every October, Brookesmith hosts the 'Smallest Town Festival' where the entire population of 65 residents opens their homes and yards to visitors, creating a unique community-wide garage sale and potluck dinner. The tradition started in 1995 when residents realized they could turn their small size into an attraction, and now hundreds of visitors come to experience authentic small-town Texas hospitality where literally everyone knows everyone else's name.
