How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Montague

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining the amount of energy you will consume monthly is the best way to find a deal on power in Montague. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to select your electricity provider.

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

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 right electricity plan for your home.

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

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

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 then assist you in enrolling with your chosen energy provider without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before picking 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 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 Montague: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Montague, 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 can 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 come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Montague

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

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to act, 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 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 energy company will cover everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Montague 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 early from your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. 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 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.

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.

Montague Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Montague was founded in 1857 and named after Daniel Montague, a surveyor who helped establish the town's boundaries along the Red River. The town served as a crucial stop on the Chisholm Trail, where cattle drivers would rest and resupply before crossing into Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), making it one of the last Texas towns many cowboys would see on their northward journeys.

RECENT

In 2020, Montague completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings dating back to the 1880s. The project included the renovation of the old general store into a community center and the creation of a heritage trail that connects key historical sites throughout the small town.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Montague was the childhood home of legendary Texas Ranger Captain Bill McDonald, who served from 1891 to 1907 and was famous for his motto 'No man in the wrong can stand up against a fellow that's in the right and keeps on a-comin'.' McDonald became one of the most celebrated lawmen in Texas history and was instrumental in bringing order to the frontier during the late 1800s.

DID YOU KNOW

Montague is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in North Texas, established in 1883 and still serving customers today. The store still has its original wooden floors, tin ceiling, and pot-bellied stove, and locals joke that you can buy everything from penny candy to horse feed under one roof, just like in the Old West days.

CULTURAL

Every October, Montague hosts the annual 'Chisholm Trail Days' festival, where the entire town of 304 residents transforms into a Wild West celebration complete with period costumes, cattle drive reenactments, and authentic chuck wagon cooking. The festival draws thousands of visitors who come to experience what life was like during the great cattle drives of the 1870s and 1880s.
