Yes — most Kemp 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 Kemp 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.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Kemp

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Discovering how much energy you will use in a month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Kemp. Why does this matter?

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

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much energy you consume each month.

Unless you use the advertised amount 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 shop for an electricity plan.

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

Even better, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, 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 right electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved quickly.

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

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

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your chosen energy provider without ever having to leave our website.

The bottom line is you must determine your expected or historical usage before selecting the right energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate the average energy 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 find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Kemp: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Kemp, 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 are unable to obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage via utilizing 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 instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Kemp

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

Your existing electricity company will generally raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not 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 providers.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your power supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Kemp 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 pick any date up to 14 days before your current contract’s end date without an “early cancellation” penalty. 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 lowest rate.

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

Kemp Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Kemp was founded in 1883 as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway, named after railroad executive Joseph A. Kemp. The town served as a crucial shipping point for cotton and timber from the East Texas region, with the railroad bringing prosperity and growth to what was previously just farmland and forest.

RECENT

In 2020, Kemp 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 investment, breathing new life into the small town's commercial district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Don Henley of the Eagles was born in nearby Gilmer but spent part of his childhood in the Kemp area during the 1950s. His experiences in small East Texas towns like Kemp influenced many of his later songs about rural American life and values.

DID YOU KNOW

Kemp sits on one of the largest underground freshwater aquifers in East Texas, which was discovered in the 1940s when oil drilling crews kept hitting water instead of oil. The aquifer is so pure and abundant that several major bottled water companies have considered establishing operations in the area, though the city has resisted to preserve the resource for residents.

CULTURAL

Every October, Kemp hosts the annual 'Rails and Tales Festival' celebrating its railroad heritage with vintage train displays, storytelling sessions about the town's history, and a chili cook-off. The festival draws visitors from across East Texas and features live bluegrass music performed on a stage built from reclaimed railroad ties from the original 1883 depot.
