It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Fulton today is 7.0¢ 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 Fulton

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Discovering how much energy you will consume each month is the best way to shop for energy in Fulton. Why should you care?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you consume in the 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.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to pick your electricity plan.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated 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 a year 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 best way to determine the ideal electricity plan for your home.

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

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

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

We help you order your plan with your selected power company without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before choosing the right electricity 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Fulton: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Fulton, 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 cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool will be able to assess your home’s projected electricity consumption.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes 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 Fulton

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate every year when your contract expires is essential.

Your existing electricity company will typically 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 energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Fulton 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 electricity 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” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

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.

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies may outweigh the fee of breaking your existing contract.

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 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

Fulton was founded in 1867 by George Ware Fulton, a cattle baron and entrepreneur who established the town as a shipping port for his massive ranch operations. The settlement became a crucial link between inland Texas ranches and Gulf Coast shipping routes, with Fulton building one of the first major cattle loading facilities on the Texas coast to transport longhorn cattle to markets in New Orleans and beyond.

RECENT

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey devastated Fulton with a direct hit as a Category 4 storm, destroying over 80% of the city's structures and forcing a complete evacuation. The small coastal community has since undergone a remarkable rebuilding effort, with many residents choosing to construct elevated, hurricane-resistant homes that have transformed the town's architectural landscape while maintaining its fishing village charm.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Fulton is the birthplace of Roy Lee Jackson, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and San Diego Padres in the 1970s and 1980s. Jackson grew up fishing and crabbing in Fulton's waters before his baseball career, and he often credited his strong arm to years of throwing cast nets in Aransas Bay during his childhood.

DID YOU KNOW

Fulton is home to the famous 'Fulton Mansion State Historic Site,' a stunning Second Empire Victorian mansion built in 1877 that was one of the first homes in Texas to feature indoor plumbing, gas lights, and a central heating system. The mansion was so technologically advanced for its time that it included a built-in ice house and a sophisticated ventilation system that used the coastal breeze to naturally cool the entire structure during hot Texas summers.

OTHER

CULTURAL/UNIQUE: Fulton hosts the annual 'Oysterfest' each March, celebrating the town's century-old tradition of oyster harvesting in Aransas Bay. The festival features oyster shucking contests, live music, and the crowning of the 'Oyster Queen,' continuing a tradition that dates back to the 1920s when Fulton was known as the 'Oyster Capital of Texas' and supplied restaurants throughout the Gulf Coast region.
