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 La Marque today is 8.2¢ 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 La Marque

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Discovering the amount of electricity you will consume each month is the best way to find a deal on power in La Marque. Why is this important?

The “price per kWh” you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you consume in the month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to pick your power company.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing rates with the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for your home.

Better yet, 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 determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers to guide you step-by-step to 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 monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your selected electricity provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should know 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 own 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 La Marque: Setting up Electricity

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

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: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. 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 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 length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in La Marque

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

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your contract 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, check the rates of competing electricity companies.

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

Switching is easy:

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

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

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

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract ends without an “early termination” 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest 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 must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

La Marque Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

La Marque was founded in 1890 as a railroad town along the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad line. The city's name comes from the French phrase meaning 'the mark' or 'the boundary,' as it served as a geographical marker between Galveston Bay and the mainland prairie regions of Texas during the early settlement period.

RECENT

In 2017, La Marque completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic Main Street corridor with new sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping. The $2.8 million project also included the restoration of several 1920s-era buildings that now house local businesses and community spaces, bringing new life to the city's commercial district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

La Marque is the birthplace of NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, who was born here in 1975 before moving to Florida as a child. Lewis went on to become one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history with the Baltimore Ravens, winning two Super Bowl championships and earning 13 Pro Bowl selections during his legendary career.

DID YOU KNOW

La Marque is home to one of the oldest continuously operating drive-in movie theaters in Texas, the Showboat Drive-In, which opened in 1950. The theater survived Hurricane Ike in 2008 when its massive screen was completely destroyed, but the community rallied to rebuild it within six months, making it a symbol of the city's resilience and dedication to preserving its unique entertainment heritage.

CULTURAL

La Marque hosts the annual Cougar Country Fair each fall, a tradition that began in 1962 and has become one of Galveston County's largest community festivals. The three-day event features carnival rides, live music, local food vendors, and the famous Cougar Country Fair Parade, drawing over 15,000 visitors annually and serving as the primary fundraiser for the city's youth sports programs and community improvements.
