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 Premont today is 7.0¢ 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 Premont

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Knowing the amount of energy you will consume each month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Premont. Why should you care?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers 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 change according to how much energy you use each month.

Unless you use precisely 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 select your power provider.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing plans 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 home, 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 perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is solved in moments.

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

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then help you order your plan with your chosen power provider without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before choosing 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 monthly energy usage.

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 electricity 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 Premont: Setting up Electricity

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

Switching Electricity Companies in Premont

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

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

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy companies.

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 electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Premont 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration 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 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 knowing your usage is the best way to find the best rate.

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.

Premont Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Premont was founded in 1909 as a railroad town along the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway. The town was named after French financier Count Henri de Premont, who invested heavily in the railroad development that brought prosperity to this remote area of South Texas during the early oil boom era.

RECENT

In 2018, Premont made national headlines when its school district became one of the first in Texas to implement a four-day school week to combat teacher shortages and budget constraints. The innovative approach has since been studied by education officials across the state as a potential solution for rural school districts facing similar challenges.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Premont is the hometown of Eva Longoria, the internationally famous actress known for her role as Gabrielle Solis on 'Desperate Housewives' and her work as a producer and director. Longoria has frequently spoken about her humble beginnings in this small South Texas town and has returned to support local community initiatives and education programs.

DID YOU KNOW

Premont once made headlines for completely eliminating its high school sports programs in 2012 to focus resources on academics, becoming the first Texas town to voluntarily give up Friday night football. The controversial decision lasted two years and sparked a statewide debate about educational priorities, with the story being featured in national media outlets including ESPN and The New York Times.

CULTURAL

Premont celebrates its unique blend of Tejano culture with an annual Cowboy Days festival that combines traditional rodeo events with conjunto music and authentic South Texas barbacoa. The town is also known for its historic downtown murals that tell the story of the region's ranching heritage and the cultural contributions of Mexican-American families who have called this area home for generations.
