It is a must that every Texan know who their electricity provider is; whether their plan is variable, indexed or fixed, green or otherwise; the date of expiration of their contract; and finally the average cost paid for electricity that month. Answers to all these questions are required by law to be on the monthly statement.
Many homeowners I encounter and visit with in Houston either don't give a hoot or they are really dumb. A common excuse is "the wife pays the bill". This is the complacency I write so much about. That is a key reason we're in the fix we are. Get smart people. Your attitude or ignorance is costing you and me money. Just more straight talk folks.
That average cost figure is the most important bit of information. The number expressed in cents per kWh includes all charges and fees, less taxes. That number tells what the true cost of your electricity is and avoids all the 'Mickey Mouse' confusing details the REPs like to throw out.
That average cost should be at or near the lowest cost in the market for the type plan chosen per your review of Power to Choose. If it isn't, you're paying too much.
