Yes — most Freeport 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 Freeport today is 5.9¢ 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 Freeport

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the best way to shop for energy in Freeport. Why should you care?

You see power companies advertising the “price per kWh” for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much electricity you use each month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you enrolled.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to shop for a power company.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on anticipated 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 12 months of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to find the perfect energy 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 a few moments.

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

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

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen energy provider without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting the best 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.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Freeport: Setting up electricity

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

Ask the previous homeowner 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.

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to return to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Freeport

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

Your existing energy provider will generally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

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

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Freeport 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 choose any date up to 14 days before 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 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.

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

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

Freeport was founded in 1912 as a company town by the Freeport Sulphur Company, which discovered massive sulfur deposits beneath the coastal marshes. The company built the entire infrastructure including homes, schools, and a hospital, creating one of Texas's most successful planned industrial communities that revolutionized sulfur mining through the innovative Frasch process of pumping superheated water underground.

RECENT

In 2019, Freeport completed a major $15 million downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic downtown area with new sidewalks, lighting, and green spaces. The project also restored several 1920s-era buildings and created a new waterfront park along the Brazos River, attracting new businesses and tourism to the area.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Freeport was the childhood home of country music star George Strait, who lived here during his early years before his family moved to nearby Pearsall. The 'King of Country Music' often mentions his Gulf Coast roots in interviews, crediting the area's laid-back coastal culture for influencing his musical style and down-to-earth personality.

DID YOU KNOW

Freeport is home to one of the world's largest chemical complexes, where Dow Chemical has operated since 1940 and produces everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals on a 5,000-acre site. The facility is so large it has its own fire department, medical center, and railroad system, and produces enough ethylene annually to make 1.3 billion plastic grocery bags.

CULTURAL

Freeport hosts the annual 'Fishing Fiesta' each June, which has been running for over 40 years and features one of the Gulf Coast's largest fishing tournaments with over $100,000 in prizes. The event draws thousands of anglers from across Texas who compete in categories ranging from red snapper to marlin, while the town celebrates with live music, seafood vendors, and a blessing of the fleet ceremony at the harbor.
