Yes — most Shady Shores addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

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 Shady Shores today is 6.8¢ 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 Shady Shores

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing the amount of energy you will use each month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Shady Shores. Why does this matter?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much power you consume in the month.

Unless you use precisely the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an electricity company.

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

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 best way to determine the right electricity plan for your home.

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

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

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 ordering your plan with your chosen electricity company without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before ordering the best electricity 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 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 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 Shady Shores: Setting up Electricity

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

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

Switching Electricity Companies in Shady Shores

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate every year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing energy provider will generally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not 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 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 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 cover everything, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Shady Shores 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 electricity providers. 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 cancellation” 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 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 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.

Shady Shores Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Shady Shores was incorporated in 1978 as a lakeside community along the shores of Lake Lewisville, originally developed as a weekend retreat destination for Dallas-area residents. The city was carefully planned to preserve its natural tree canopy and shoreline access, with winding streets that follow the natural topography rather than the typical Texas grid pattern.

RECENT

In 2020, Shady Shores completed a major waterfront improvement project that added new boat ramps, fishing piers, and a community pavilion along Lake Lewisville. The $2.3 million project was funded through a combination of city bonds and federal grants, significantly enhancing recreational opportunities for both residents and visitors to the area.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Country music star Pat Green has been a longtime resident of Shady Shores, often hosting private concerts at his lakefront home for charity events. The city has also served as a filming location for several independent Texas films, including the 2019 drama 'Lake Life' which showcased the community's unique waterfront lifestyle and tight-knit neighborhood atmosphere.

DID YOU KNOW

Shady Shores has one of the highest boat-to-resident ratios in Texas, with nearly 40% of households owning at least one watercraft. The city's marina district includes over 200 private boat slips, and during summer weekends, the population can triple as boaters from across North Texas flock to the community's protected coves and beaches.

CULTURAL

Every Fourth of July, Shady Shores hosts the 'Lights on the Lake' celebration where residents decorate their boats with patriotic themes and parade around Lake Lewisville in a floating procession. The tradition began in 1985 with just twelve boats and now features over 150 decorated vessels, making it one of the largest boat parades in North Texas and a beloved community tradition that draws thousands of spectators to the shoreline.
