How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Lamesa

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Understanding the monthly energy consumption is the best way to find a deal on electricity in Lamesa. Why does this matter?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation 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 match the exact advertised usage each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an energy plan.

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

Even better, if you have a year 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 energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. 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 research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers, and navigate you step-by-step to the electricity plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

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

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

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting 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 own a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.

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

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Lamesa: Setting up Electricity

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

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Lamesa

Switching is good. Market conditions constantly change, so you must shop for a lower rate each year when your contract expires.

Your existing energy provider will generally raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy providers.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to call 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 electricity provider will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

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

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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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

Lamesa Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lamesa was founded in 1903 when the Santa Fe Railroad extended its line through Dawson County, creating a vital shipping point for cotton and cattle ranchers. The town's name comes from the Spanish phrase 'la mesa,' meaning 'the table,' referring to the flat-topped mesa formations that dominate the surrounding landscape of the South Plains region.

RECENT

In 2020, Lamesa completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and created the new Lamesa Heritage Park. The $2.3 million project included new sidewalks, period lighting, and a community pavilion that has become the centerpiece for the city's annual festivals and farmers markets.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Mac Davis, who wrote hits like 'In the Ghetto' for Elvis Presley and 'I Believe in Music,' was born in Lamesa in 1942. Davis went on to become a successful recording artist himself and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, always crediting his small-town Texas upbringing for his storytelling ability.

DID YOU KNOW

Lamesa is home to one of the last remaining original Harvey House restaurants from the famous Fred Harvey chain that served railroad travelers across the American West. The restored 1920s building now houses the Dal Paso Museum and still contains the original lunch counter, ornate ceiling, and hand-painted murals that once welcomed thousands of Santa Fe Railway passengers.

CULTURAL

Every October, Lamesa hosts the unique 'Chicken Fried Steak Festival' that draws over 15,000 visitors to this town of fewer than 10,000 residents. The festival features a cook-off competition where teams compete to make the world's largest chicken fried steak, with the current record holder weighing in at over 800 pounds and requiring a custom-built skillet to prepare.
