Penstar Power electric choice in Texas The Texas government passed legislation in 2002 that deregulated the energy industry throughout the state. Customers now have the power to choose the provider that works best for their household.

The decision to switch energy providers can be overwhelming due to deregulation. Compare Power was established in 2009 as a way to help consumers. This no-cost comparison service allows consumers to bypass hours of research as they look for new energy providers.

Compare Power believes that customers should be able to make informed decisions that are beneficial to their households. This belief guides the company’s inclusion of taxes and fees that may not typically be included in advertised quotes.

Compare Penstar Power rates with competing Texas energy plans Penstar Power is a Dallas-based retail energy provider that serves homeowners and other residential customers. This company was certified by the Public Utility Commission of Texas in 2004.

How to choose the best electricity plan in Texas Selecting a Penstar Power plan without knowing your home’s energy usage can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The #1 most important thing: Know your usage!

The key to avoid overpaying is knowing your expected usage and comparing monthly costs for each plan based on that usage amount.

With things like gasoline, the “price per gallon” you see on the sign is the price you pay no matter how many gallons you pump.

$3 per gallon. Pump 10 gallons, pay $30. Simple.

Electricity in Texas is not as simple as buying gasoline. The advertised “price per kWh” is based on a specific, exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

And, each plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined.

Your effective “price per kWh” can only be determined by calculating your monthly bill, then dividing that monthly bill by your usage.

Advertised “price per kWh” can be misleading because it’s based on a specific usage like 2000 kWh. It’s best to shop based on the total bill for your home’s expected usage.

How do you do that when the math is complicated, and every plan is a little different?

Compare Power has already done all this complicated math for you.

First, we help you determine your expected monthly kWh usage. Then we show you the plans and their total monthly cost for your usage.

Penstar Power reviews Looking for ratings and reviews for Penstar Power?

Several companies rate electricity providers. Compare Power does not include customer reviews as they are generally biased or easy to manipulate and skew one way or the other (positive or negative).

Often, a review is requested a mere few days after enrolling in a new energy plan, which may not be an adequate amount of time for a customer to experience the product or service.

Many customers who take the time to leave feedback typically do so as an effort to resolve a problem and are using negative feedback as a forum to draw attention to their issue.

Customers who leave positive reviews are generally incentivized to do so and therefore tend to be biased.

So what are we left with? There are a few long-standing customer review portals that attempt to remove bias. One of these is the Better Business Bureau and the other is the Public Utility Commision of Texas.
