How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Mont Belvieu

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Determining the amount of energy you will use month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Mont Belvieu. Why should you care?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you consume in a month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you signed up.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your energy company.

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

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 ideal energy plan for your home.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and navigating you step-by-step to the energy plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the details, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know exactly where your money goes and what to expect on your bill.

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

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting the best 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 your average energy 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 find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Mont Belvieu: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Mont Belvieu, 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: 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 can 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 Mont Belvieu

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity company will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not act, 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 companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy 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 electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you switch, your new electricity provider will cover everything, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Mont Belvieu 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 contract’s end date without an “early termination” 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 to break 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 gather your historical usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Mont Belvieu Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Mont Belvieu was founded in 1902 by the Barbers Hill Oil Company and named after the French phrase meaning 'beautiful mountain,' despite being located in the flat coastal plains of Texas. The town was built around massive underground salt domes that were discovered during oil drilling operations, which would later become crucial to the petrochemical industry.

RECENT

In 2020, Mont Belvieu completed construction of the largest underground natural gas liquids storage facility in North America, expanding its role as the global hub for NGL trading. The facility can store over 60 million barrels of propane, butane, and natural gasoline, making Mont Belvieu the pricing benchmark for these commodities worldwide.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Mont Belvieu is home to the annual World Championship BBQ Goat Cook-Off, which has been held every October since 1978 and attracts over 10,000 visitors. The event was started by local ranchers and has become one of Texas's most unique culinary competitions, featuring teams from across the United States competing in various goat cooking categories.

DID YOU KNOW

Mont Belvieu sits atop one of the largest underground salt dome complexes in the world, with caverns carved out of solid salt that extend over 3,000 feet underground and are large enough to hold the Empire State Building. These caverns store billions of gallons of petrochemicals and natural gas liquids, making the small town one of the most strategically important energy storage locations in North America.

OTHER

CULTURAL/UNIQUE: Despite having only 6,200 residents, Mont Belvieu is known as the 'NGL Capital of the World' because it serves as the primary pricing hub for natural gas liquids traded globally. The town's underground storage facilities and pipeline connections are so critical to the energy industry that NGL prices worldwide are set based on Mont Belvieu market rates, giving this small Texas town outsized influence on global energy markets.
